Fair enough. Still like the rather plausible hot tub Machiavellian scheming scenario though.

Maybe he's planning on extracting a huge fee out of FC for Chase to fund his Aussie revolution down Wheldon Road in 2012?

A plot can never be too thick

Brilliant - love it!

still think he should be backup not first 17

Decent squad player, good workrate, unspectacular but solid enough. I would guess he's not going to be a massive earner so why not?

Some absolute legends there

Casey Mayberry only managed a couple of games for us didnt he? IIRC we signed him and Marvin Golden and Phil Hasty in the same pre season?

colin brown and tim lumb should be in the list of boo boys.

No Adrian "Rain Man" Rainey? or Dave Luckwell?

anth chambers>?

Yeah, + maybe Anthony Seibold? (or that could have been the year before). Oh and Dale Holdstock and Matt Calland IIRC. Remember been so optimistic at the start of 2004 with all these names + the 'Dream Team' of Mal Reilly and Martin Hall, how wrong I was! Tbf I still feel that Harvey Howard did a better job then he gets credit for when you look at the players he brought in (James Webster, Michael Smith, Byron Ford, Jon Steel etc). Sounds like he made mistakes off the pitch, but on it as a team we weren't actually that bad under him IIRC (considering the stick he got).
