that could be a massive plus for Beattie in talking players into stopping on slightly longer than they might have done once over. He has been at the top and will have seen many players come and go that really should have stopped at a lower level for an extra season instead of moving before they were ready.

As a club we will never move onto the next level until we can keep players beyond that initial phase of "he's not bad". Linganzi is a great example. I've no doubt his phone will have been ringing from clubs at the top of league 2 or just promoted. If he chose to go now he could probably double his wages but may not play every week and his skill level may stagnate, and his career go no further. Alternatively he could carry on playing for us and pick up only a decent working wage but would be the star of the show and would get to shine all season and secure a better move than he could now. He needs to play more than a dozen games to really show what he can do. With luck he'll get a really good move with Beattie putting words in peoples ears towards the top end of the Football League and we benefit a fat transfer fee.
