Well done to him, good publicity even if the journalist thinks we're the Shrimpers

More good press from a Shrimps legend and probably our 2nd greatest Manager.

Just think if we could have the same budget as he had, taking into account 17 years of inflation

I very much doubt whether the Mirror has any more idea than we have. 10 million might be their guess of a figure that would cover buying it and maintaining it over the next few years.

An absolute Shrimps legend indeed. Very well said.

Disappointing to still see him being called “Stabby” on the associated Facebook post though.

Where we would be with Sir Sammy’s contribution to the cause.
