As much as it would be ideal, Peterborough are notoriously difficult to deal with in the transfer market. They think all their players are Premiership quality and would more than likely want all his wages paid and a fee to boot.

Why, oh why, would anyone even begin to imagine that Bobby Olejnik would come back here? We were a club who had just reached the League 2 play-off final and he was without a club, when he signed for us.

Now we languish just above mid-table as a penniless non-league club and he has a team.

Next people will be saying that a recently sacked Premier League manager - Neil Warnock - should be sought to help us. Oh, hang on...

It would be a really really good statement of intent from the board, great signing and would hopefully boost the players. But, £3k a week is £2,900 more than we can afford.

We can't even afford to pay the players we have now.

I only suggested it in case 66 year old Warnock may finally like to have a quieter life in an area where he has property and settle back here and put something back into football ala Steve Perryman !!

Just put it out there for discussion. I know it will never happen. :'( :'(

:lol:

Not quite but i had quite a shock upon hearing this! :O

No offence to my fellow Yorkies but he's far too good for York and far too good for league 2 IMO. I don't quite know what happened at Posh. I know they used to go gung ho every week and leave gaping holes all over the shop at the back on a regular basis and i remember watching Posh highlights regularly and he would be really overworked and exposed time and time again due to bad defending. Still pulled off some awesome saves though. I just think he was partly made a scapegoat for this.

I want to see Bobby rediscover his immense Torquay form whether it be for York or whoever because he's such a great bloke, a hard working pro and of course he is Austrian. ;-)

Well, football is indeed a funny old game.
Strangely enough it was Pope Gregory the 9th inviting me for drinks aboard his steam yacht, the saucy sue currently wintering in montego bay with the England cricket team and the Balanese Goddess of plenty.

Yes I agree Andy-really thought joining the Posh could have been the stepping -stone to a Premiership move for him.
Can't be attitude or commitment surely,as during his time with us he worked his socks off to improve his game.
No disrespect to the Minstermen,but this is a real step backwards at this point in his career.
Hopefully he will do well,prove a few people wrong and get his career back on track.
Great signing by York though-fancied them to stay up anyway,but even more confident they will do so now.
Is Jarvis still playing?

Jarvo is still at the club but hasn't featured much at all since he was stupidly sent off for a two footed challenge in the home game with Shrewsbury in October. Russ Wilcox's debut may i add, not the best way to please the boss.

Until then he had been a fairly regular starter under Worthington although he never looked like scoring. His work rate was ok. He is not even on the bench nowadays and as i haven't read anywhere that he is injured i would have to suspect that Wilcox wants rid when his contract runs out in the summer.

On a similar theme based on this thread Billy Kee who moved to Scunthorpe at the same time as Bobby has gone out on loan to Mansfield.
