Paul McKenna signed for Notts Forest today. He’s a PNE vet and was captain. Seems PNE got a good price, said to be \u00a3750,000,\u00a0and Paul was pleased to get some cash in his pocket and\u00a0said he was pleased to join Forest. Although I suppose he would say that. Hope he isn’t another vet who moves into the Premier League after leaving North End.<\/p>\n
Simon Whaley left for Norwich. He was a player who seemed to have mixed performances.<\/p>\n
Chris Neal, goalie, left for Shrewsbury. Alan Simpson land.<\/p>\n
North End beat an Austrian team 11-0 although that was eclipsed by Villareal beating a team 27-0.\u00a0 Not sure what to think as I thought there was a sort of gentlemens agreement about trouncing teams in friendlies. OK so you’re a fully trained and coached footballer. Well done, do you beat up small children as well.<\/p>\n
Loads of money being sloshed about and yes I think it’s OK if the money is there and the player is an exceptional talent. Then there is the game of chess.\u00a0A rich club put in a large bid with no intention of buying so another club with less money has to up its offer and spend all its got. That’s business, what a laugh for the poor fan paying a fortune to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
