Wow sounds good to me. I will be living in the new Mediterranean resort of Wiswell sur Mer.

The waves of the the tropical seas lapping the base of Pendle hill. I am switching all the lights on now.

The only drawback might be the boat needed to get to Ewood Park.

Betfair punters have confidence in us, odds on teams being relegated.

Sheff Utd 1.3

Watford 1.3

Charlton 1.7

Fulham 6.8

Man city 7.6

West ham 8.0

Middlesbrough 9.2

Newcastle 10.2

Wigan 11.2

Reading 15.5

Rovers 17.5

Or we could even break the bank and sign Long, Nugent, or some of the other younger more local players mentioned... The truth is we need some youth/speed in our squad as we seem to be going through the recruiting stage Bolton went through last season, signing older players... :ph34r:

Nugent would be a great signing I saw him play for England U21. How much would he cost and would Preston sell him?

I'am sorry but if Mr Beckham is going to join the EPL the following clubs, I humbly suggest, would rate more highly than Rovers on his wish list.

1)Chelsea - need a right winger, another trophy player for Roman.

2)Bolton - third in the premiership, the dream of champions league, close to Manchester.

3)Portsmouth - fourth in the league , Redknap, new rich backers, close to London.

4)Aston Villa – ONeil, new rich backers.

5)Spurs - London based, my favorite if Lennon goes to Chelsea.

6)Newcastle – Have a habit of throwing money at problems, fan base , Owen.

Personally I hope I am wrong and Mr Hughes pulls of the signing of the decade.
