Sammy saw his talent as did Southport (hence add ons) and he was always going to leave us, same as Carl Baker and i think eventually Flemming too.
I think you, and a few others are mssing the point somewhat that most people are making. Its not that we don't think Duffy will eventually leave (everybody realises this)....it's just that by hook or by crook we are going to screwed over this deal because his contract is going to expire in the summer (unlike Carl Baker). I think for a player of Duffs quality we could realistically expect to recieve £150k+ for a transfer fee. Given the circumstances I bet we don't get half of that.

Meanwhile Coley's sold Robert Grant to Scunny for £308K; Michael Symes to Bournemouth when they were promoted; Mauro Almeida to Swindon; Ian Craney to Swansea and Huddersfield; Gary Roberts to Ipswich Town; Paul Harrison to Wolves; Jon Bogan to Dundee; Romauld Boco for £44k (admittedly to Sligo Rovers); Paul Mullin to Morecambe (well we did finish higher for £24k); and you can probably chuck in Kenny Arthur and a couple of others on frees when they had to slash budgets.
By my reckoning that's over £1 million in fees in the same period. It is also a firm rebuttal of some serious misinformation.

Ah, if it helped to coax you out of a self imposed retirement, it was worth it! Hope you've been keeping well? I forget, are Fleetwood your rivals now?

They think they are but it's hard to be rivals with fly-by-night operations. Barrow and Southport elected to play each other on boxing day rathr than them.
They are an odd lot and their forum is one of the most vile places on the net. They're already talking of morecambe being in their sights

Neil you get a lot of unfair criticism and get wrongly derided, and you take it very well. So I'm sure you'll take some fair criticism based on the load of bollocks above. From my reckoning in five years we've sold on two players that Sammy brought to the club - Carl Baker and Mark Duffy.
