Dearden wants a big name club

Last updated : 24 September 2003 By Craig Simmons
With big names such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea coming into the draw for the third round the Notts boss is hoping for a money-spinning tie for the club.

"I don't mind who we get to be honest, as long as it is a good draw for us financially speaking," he told the Nottingham Evening Post

"It would be nice to get one of the big names, preferably at home, so that we can get a bit more money in the coffers."

"With respect to them, we don't want to be going to Blackpool or Huddersfield - any more than they will want to be playing us."

"With the situation the club is in financially, it is fairly obvious how important it could be for us to get a decent tie in the next round."

"I thought the lads were superb. Every player out there did well for us. The only criticism you would have is that they could have scored more. We had enough chances."


Although a tie with a big club would be great, a game I personally would love to see is a local derby wth our friends from the other side of the Trent. Now what a scalp that would be!
