A £9m transfer between two Championship clubs - neither of whom have ever been in the Premier League!!!! Football has gone mental!

"Luton Town will receive a seven figure sum"... There's no justice..

why do you say there is no justice for luton recieving a seven figure sum.. thats over a million pounds, or are you saying we never get anything from our sales. the last time we had a top player who really made it we got a decent figure and he went on to play for Manure

Clubs like Luton Town, not to mention certain clubs a little closer to home, always seem to land on their feet and hit the ground running with nice little windfalls after coming through periods of financial mismanagement and administration, whilst little old Torquay United, for the most part financially prudent (the previous Plainmoor regime notwithstanding) and never been in administration, is always struggling..

And we never get decent figures for any of our players..

I'd say the figure we got for Benyon from Swindon was daylight robbery..........................by us

On a completely separate subject - Fonda (Shane) has not posted for while?!

I always think of him when Benyon is mentioned

I like Shane, we invariably disagree but can always debate without throwing our toys out of the pram, unlike others

I haven't got a pram baahhhhhhhh
