I don't think we should criticise DK for privately discussing matters with supporters who work closely with the club. He took a lot of flak and was probably trigger happy even then but didn't go running to the Argus for obvious reasons.
LB, When speaking to Harty did you speculate on a...
Right, from a sound source and apparently direct from an ex player. Dick Knight and the entire Board lost confidence in Deans Wilkins during the January transfer window.
Dick was involved in negotiations for new signings and more specifically was hoping to extend the contracts of several...
Since leaving us he's managed 210 league games in the top two divisions and won 74, lost 72, drawn 64. A championship promotion and a respectable fight against premiership relegation at Leicester should be considered a success.
At Coventry he had a mediocre spell but has anyone fared better...
I think Dean handles the press very well and is absolutely right not to hype individual players. To steal a phrase from reservoir dogs, "let's not start sucking eachothers dicks quite yet"
Very happy with the incoming signings and the fee's secured for the Elder, Revell and Hammond exceeded my expectations. Hammond and Elder would have been off for nothing so to recoup most of Murrays fee for them is great business. Saying that Losing Hammond will be a huge blow as he was...
I know Wilkins wants to avoid this scenario and thrashed out this point with DK when taking the job. I think these near miss storys played a big part in fans turning on Magoo.
Leven deal looking unlikely unless he's down here already as we wanted a thorough look at his knee during the medical. Not heard any more on Cox but seems likely Charlton will be back in with a bid after enquiring on his availability last night. I'd guess £500k + add ons would be a fair offer.
My understanding was the clause would allow him to talk to any higher division club that offers a set amount, they certainly won't let him walk for free.
Personally I'd be amazed if the offer is over the 200k they offered at the start of the month, surely a buyers market given his contract...
Been told we have a medical tentatively scheduled today for a Bournemouth player... no idea who.
Might also see some movement on Dean Cox's transfer status as Reid to Sunderland a done deal and Charlton have made enquiries VERY recently.
Hammond is expected to leave today, wants a relagation...
Done some on digging and the offer was 150k but we have a sell on due which adds some complexity. Also told our targets include Simon Cox, Stuart Elliot and Leven from Chesterfield.
I personally wouldn't sell, he's an effective option playing wide right and i think he's still improving as a...
As others have said he was the best player on the pitch against Leeds and hasn't had a particualry bad game for us, even when played out wide.
I think as he gains experience he will continue to improve, technically he's sound, a good competitor and uses the ball intelligently. Well worth a...
