Can hear the 'Cod Army' roar from his back garden
The rumour is back again today with £3M being quoted. Would our board turn that kind of money down ?

The agent seems to be stirring things up - it looks like improve the deal or Ward's off to me.
I'm not sure who to believe here. Agents will say anything, but then we've seen players say that Blackwell isn't entirely honest with them, so perhaps a review of Ward's contract was promised.
Whether or not he was promised a review within 12 months is irrelevent to me, give him a new contract!
Culbertson issued a statement yesterday, saying: "We have no desire or intention of entering into a 'slanging match' nor trade 'cheap shots' as we take this matter very seriously.
"Though I did find the comments in terms of 'struggling for money', bearing in mind the club's position, rather amusing.
"I am disappointed that he is trying to turn this matter into an agent v club issue, which it is clearly not. But it is, of course, always an easy option for clubs to use.
"Jamie Ward is very happy at the club and has great respect for both the club and the fans and wants nothing more than to be treated fairly as agreed," he added.
"This matter is about honouring an agreement to renegotiate a player's contract terms
"I do think it is possible that someone is playing games but, perhaps, the club need to look a little nearer to home and no doubt I am sure the fans themselves will make up their own minds on the matter."
