League 1 in three years - that was said about 3 years ago since then we finished 9 points from the playoffs.

We've flirted with relegation 3 or 4 times over last few years.

Last season we improved but we are selling two major reasons for that improvement. In a league this tight 9pts from play offs.....

Well we've lost our best players in the past and done ok without (I'm thinking of the recent past - the likes of Commons & Hulse).

However I am pretty peeved with this decision. Shacks was my fave player from last season. It's all very well to run us on the ol'sound financial footing, but it's pretty pointless if no other clubs are playing by our rules.

I don't care if he goes, or how much we sell him for, providing the funds raised can improve the team. If we sell for £1.2m and can get a good replacement, a LB and a CM for that amount (or at least a very good contribution with that amount), then to me it's good business.

I'll reserve judgement on his sale (if it happens) until the start of the season when we can see what we've done with the money.

If we signed Lynch in place of Shackell, without a shadow of a doubt would ask for a refund on my season ticket.

like trading messi in for heskey!

We won't sign Lynch - we couldn't afford his wages. We'll replace Shackell with someone much cheaper, but at least Nigel is probably the best man to recruit a decent centre-back in such circumstances

If Barker was fit I would get it, but not sure who is gonna play as centre half. Maybe Shack couldn't fit in the new Kappa kit, so we cashed in on him.

Personally I have faith in Mr Clough and has something up his sleeve..... DON'T YOU NIGEL!!!?????????????

Buxton, O'Brien, Naylor, Galinski and Lelan can all play centre back in the current team and are fit.

So this is how we can afford a 77m giant tv screen!! I can't help but notice there's an advert at the bottom of this site of Blackburn rovers season tickets. Is that them picking us off while we're at our lowest?

Stop whinging...we're going to get promoted soon. Andy Appleby said so - and he should know, he used to be a wrestler 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

Is that him? 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> in all seriousness though, the news of Shackell and the news about Forest coming at the same time has pushed me to my limit, do the americans think we'll buy their **** if both fester and forest are spending millions? I don't think I could stand it, I'd end up taking out the east midlands with a nuclear bomb!
