Bhoys bid for Cox and Morrison rejected
4:14pm Tuesday 19th May 2009
TOWN have turned down a reported offer of £1.2million from Scottish Premier League giants Celtic for the in-demand Simon Cox and youngster Sean Morrison.
The County Ground outfit are believed to want £2.5million for Cox alone, meaning the reported double bid is well below Town's valuation.
Reports in Scotland have also stated that Town have had an £80,000 bid for Hoops defender Scott Cuthbert, currently on loan at St Mirren, rejected, but that some form of swap deal remains an option.

What a joke !!! WHAT PART OF £2.5MILLION DO CELTIC NOT UNDERSTAND ??? and to try and snatch Morrison as well. Wake up Celtic. Learn how to do business. Talk about taking the ****. WELL DONE SWINDON FOR REJECTING THE TOSSERS!!!

In addition to the Cox / Morrison story there is a strong suggestion that Newcastle are monitoring a certain Callum Kennedy...It may come to nothing but I would hope we would work hard at keeping our young players to help us get out of the third tier of English Football. Morrison Included.

All you bumpkins could all squeeze into the Town End and the 15,000 Celtic fans could take the rest of the ground and would generate an atmosphere never seen in these parts before. Forget the £1.5 million generated at the BIG weekend, the mighty hoops army would double that in beer alone and I' have a short taxi ride to join them. Come Flitton 'think big' for a change.
Anyway, for someone who cost you 200,000 pieces of corn last year and the chance to make well over a million, as easy decision to make.
If COX had any ambition he'd go and have the chance play in front of 60,000 fans screaming 'hail hail'.

Morrison is the real prize in this package, Cox whilst producing some great performances is a work in progress. Morrison is class and will make the step up with ease. If cox is worth 2.5 million I rate Morrison at 4.

how about f-ing off and stop being arrogant, just because you are a so called fan of a so called big club. by the way, we proved today that we are thinking big and we have ambition by not giving in and letting our best talent go for peanuts. also cox want to play in the premier league, not play for the second best team in Glasgow against opposition who the top teams in our league would give a run for their money
Thankyou and goodbye

Secondly, will they get in the 1st team. I very much doubt it. So whats the point in going there and playing in the reserve.

So the two scots clubs should join the EPL. Try starting in the english non league & earning a place. All they want to do is scavenge at the table of English football. You know, where we have more than a 2 team race every season. 1.5m Sod off.
Everton, Blackburn and Leeds, where are they now ?
Everton and Blackburn aim for 5th or 6th each year and Leeds........well in the same league as .......mmmm STFC.
Let's face when the money goes, so will the talent.

Even if you offered the going rate for Coxy and Morrison (which your club obviously cant afford) they would be crazy to go up there and play in your tin pot league! Dont let your big crowds go to your head Jock, because there are only 2 clubs in Scotland so not much choice is there? Now pi$$ off home to the gorbals and dont come back unless you have something intelligent to say!

If we are gonna go back that far, how about paying us back for the damage you caused when you tried to invade Carlisle in the 14th century. As for administration, don't worry your little ginger head about that any more, we have more money than you now....fact!!!
