So confirms Bucks wants him then. He indicates his loyalties still lie with us - but not for long though. If we want him - better offer him something (Stanley too!).

It will be an absolute travesty, one of our biggest cock ups since we let that **** Roberts buy the club, if we do not offer Branno a deal.

What on earth are we doing not offering to a player who is officially one of the two best CBs in the league, our player of the season, and one who has stated he is happy at the club and wants to stay? Madness.

I Don't suppose you have considered that maybe Mr Branston is happy here because he was on a high wage. I may only be speculating but if he came in on a high wage that posibly breaks our budget and we can't offer him the same or more as Rovers Can that may have an affect on the equation.
So many times in the past have we heard players so say pledge undying allegience to the club and then disapear in a puff of smoke. Don't forget there is no loyalty in football anymore.
I bet all of you in work who are earning a living wage if offered 2 grand a week by exeter. would you turn it down. I bet there would be very few, after all it's your own family you have to consider. I know I would have great dificulty turning it down but it wouldn't make me an exeter supporter. just well off. At least then I could afford a season ticket for me and my wife

He actually mentioned on his twitter that he hoped Torquay got promoted and Bucks would give him a contract! Probably joking. Rumours were he was on 10k a week at Southampton!

It will be an utter disgrace if we let Branston go. What on earth are the board playing at?

Cutting expenditure to bring it under control?

I agree!

Why can't we just spunk a load of money on wages, have a couple of glory seasons in the championship and then go into administration, pay 0.5p in the pound on our debts and end up back where we started as a supporter owned club with a spanking new grandstand??

Seems to be all the rage at the moment and I'd hate to be the only Devon club not to rip off their creditors.......
Mmmmmm, beeeeeeeer.

Or more likely with our luck spend a ridiculas amount of money on wages. Have a mediocre season and then go into administration. Throwing money around doesn't guarantee success as San Siro northampton and Plymuff have found out.

Is Branston on a wage beyond us? Who says he is? Why is re-signing our best player a move that may move us towards administartion. It's a nonsense.

Let's see which championship or League 1 club he was at before he came here that must have been paying him a fortune that for us to maintain places the whole future of TUFC in doubt? Oh, no, hang on. It was Burton Albion and before that Kettering Town in the conference. Hardly massive payers that we would have had to almost bankcrupt our club to compete with.

The reality is if we get back to the Bateson era of penny-pinching, then the penny-wise, pound-foolish outcome will be the same. If the club are basically saying that they cannot even be competitive with the rest of the division then we may as well pack up and go in the Conference South.
