JB just let slip we paid £250,000 for Brandon Hanlan.
We paid a quarter of a million for a winger who’d never played CF to be our talisman CF.
I have nothing against Brandon and he worked hard for this club, but that was terrible business.
I assumed that Garner team was so poor as it was cheap. £250k!

As the previous post has said. Nearer 150k but either way it was set by tribunal and not what Garner "paid" in the traditional sense. |

Not surprising really , the club really was being run in to the ground at that point. It was Waels introduction to football club ownership and he had no choice but to trust the people he knew and that had got him in the door. The problem was that other than getting him in the door they did nothing good for him really which is a shame because it held us back for a couple of years but at least we didn’t drop out of the league and we seem to be in great hands now with the likes of Barton and Gorringe. Onwards and upwards. UTG |

Thought we had to pay Gillingham £150k after the tribunal, but got our money back when we sold him to Wycombe with a year left on his contract,

If we hadn’t had that awful run of all of our defenders getting injured or suspended at once then we’d be in the top 6 now I reckon. Three big games coming up and 6 or more points from those I feel. |

Agreed he was one of the better players in that team. |

Problem was Hanlan was our only fit striker now we've got 4 of them, if he just replaced Marquis or Loft in the present squad we'd still have a decent strike force. Garner trying to run the squad on a shoestring budget was always likely to end in relegation. JB's probably got a bigger budget but you'd hope that's been offset by the bigger attendances at the Mem. |

Porridge is really good as it’s very slow burning energy. If hanlan didn’t finish his porridge then that’s probably why he’s at Wycombe and not still playing for the Gas. |

If hanlan didn’t finish his porridge then that’s probably why he’s at Wycombe and not still playing for the Gas. I just had smoked salmon on scrambled eggs with 2 slices of buttered crusty toast. Dash of lemon on the salmon and lots of salt and black pepper. Should fortify me for the drive to Wycombe. I’m guessing nobody can one-up this breakfast but I’d be interested to see if anyone else has had something as epic. If you involved hollandaise sauce then you’re on the road to victory |

It’s obviously going over old ground but signing a bang average winger as our focal point of attack was criminal. Hanlan seemed to be one of those strikers who spent a lot of time losing wrestling matches, my main memory was him bent double, being muscled off the ball and never winning a free kick. Starnes/garner V Barton is a clear showcase of the difference between management by stats and management by experience. From Tommy’s interviews it seems they looked at player stats, like on football manager, and didn’t pay adequate attention to things like character. Finley, Rossiter etc are hard scouse lads who have a burning desire to win. Something stats don’t show. |

Always felt Hanlan gave his all everytime he played and we looked better with him in the team. Surrounded by a load of dross as it turned out. I don’t blame him for the situation we found ourselves in. And I do remember some decent goals. Shrewsbury home iirc. Good luck to him after today.
UTG!

If you involved hollandaise sauce then you’re on the road to victory Were they free range eggs ( very hard to get hold of at the moment) ? What sort of bread did you toast , I’m guessing it was a sour dough of some sort ? Was it smoked salmon and sustainably fished ? Sea salt flakes ? Italian lemons ? |
