Mangan isn't a first team player, but as a sub/reserve I rate him, very fast player - but never a marc pugh (if you've heard of him)

Neither will Bury

We'll be closer than Accy, any day.

Remind me... WHERE exactly did you finish last season???

You don't perhaps wear a pair of rose tinted spectacles per chance??

What's gonna happen when Bishop leaves you???

He has 2 more years on his contract - and I've heard a rumor that he will sign a deal until 2010.
A good eye for goal, but all he does is score penalties and tap ins, nothing special and Nugent was far better when playing for us.
Aren't you forgetting the cash injection he gave us this summer?

That's one thing I will agree with you on, Mangy is ok to come on for the last 10 minutes or so if the other teams defenders are tiring as he does have pace, unfortunately his attitude lets him down if he's on the pitch from the start of a game.

As I understand it, the money Bury get from the Nugent sale is going to pay off debts and buy back Gigg Lane !! I don't think that Bury will be "splashing out" when it comes to signing new players. (and i'm not for one minute suggesting we will)

Not wishing to rain on your parade or anything, but the harsh reality is sides like Peterborough,Bradford and Shrewsbury have the cash "on the hip" so to speak. ( I believe that the Marc Pugh guy you mentioned left the Shakers for a better deal at Shrewsbury)

Whilst I'd wish Bury all the best(results against Stanley apart), at THIS level, It's a fact of life that when any club in the lower reaches unearths some young blood with talent, invariably the bigger clubs will come a calling. It's then down to the selling club to negotiate and structure a deal which will benefit them in the long run (i.e. sell on clauses etc. etc.)

If (and in Bury's case it has been proven) that serves to protect the immediate future of the selling club,then I'm sure most fans at this level realise that it's the only way forward.

Quite correct, carpon. We have no debt, we have gigg lane back, so the money from cups can go to wage and transfer budgets and we wont have to sell our best players every January and in the Summer. So the "Nugent deal" is still great in terms of financial use and our current squad.

Do they serve Black Puddings at half time at Bury?
