I’m pretty sure that Sam had sorted that transfer and Ridsdale pulled the plug on the desk at the last hurdle as he thought it would put us deeper in debt.

It's a genuine question not a dig at him ,got a feeling the two he was on about could be loans hence why it couldn't be confirmed yet ,hes normally bang on with information.

My recollection is that Sam was trying to bully the West Brom chairman into selling Koumas on the cheap and the West Brom chairman was having none of it effectively telling Sam to pay up or f**k off.

We all know how that ended.

How many times over the years have we nearly signed a player and it did not go through, even players turning up at Ninian park and then signing for another club, I am sure someone on here will remember their names. It is not an exact science, it is what football is. Players change their mind, or the selling/ loaning club do. I post on here what I have been told you may not believe it but I do, but things do change quickly as the window draws to a close. I could have been more specific regarding signings, but chose not to, if by some chance we do not sign anyone, then you are welcome to come back on here and give me stick, but if and when we do, I am not going to come on here and say I told you so :thumbup:

Jody Morris is one I remember. Also wasn't Tom Ince supposed to sign but did a bunk elsewhere?

Marcus Bent was another. He nearly signed for us but last minutes said he wanted to go and speak to Birmingham. Upon that we withdrew our interest.

I don't think Paul Ince came as close to signing for us as Morris or Bent though, just speculation I believe.
