Re: Rumour Mill
You have to back yourself as a player and take opportunities, odd timing with AAH with Ipswich going straight up but he's had his pay rise, he's had a promotion, he's played at a variety of places in the Prem and he's now on loan to West Brom, I'm not sure he's pining for AFC Wimbledon or our bench.
Re: Match Day Thread: Barnsley
Well that's depressing.
I hope our last memory of him isn't that brilliant run through the Cobblers. If he is off it's a shame we didn't play him from the start - we might have two more points.
Re: Match Day Thread: Barnsley
If he does leave this window, I wish him all the best and what a wonderful 12 months he's had in the quarters. I'll be sad and hope it doesn't derail our promotion bid.
Hopefully we will get someone in on loan for the rest of the season as a makeweight, much like Sonny. Who thought we'd get a replacement for Callum Taylor a few weeks ago.
Not so long ago, any bid over £150-250k we would have had to take to balance the books/keep us afloat and most of us would have been delighted (I'm not saying that for Kone today). Football has accelerated again beyond all recognition. £6M for Kone is absurd really, in fact it's pretty disgusting given how many people are living in poverty etc etc.
Football seems to run in a completely different world to the one we live in.
Re: Rumour Mill
Danny Devito now 4/1 for the Wycombe job after mention on the Gasroom.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Don’t know about that. I heard about a manager recently who left the automatic promotion slots for a team facing a relegation battle. 😉
Re: Rumour Mill
There are a number of factors we do not know about and some we do.
A loan was rejected - we know this.
Did we bid and get turned down - unknown.
Did we ask for asking price, found out it was way beyond our valuation and decided not to bid - unknown
Did Bolton say he's going nowhere when we made the loan offer - unknown
Evatt said publicly the loan did exactly what they wanted, perhaps through gritted teeth but that he was not going anywhere - known.
Morley was excellent for us, he may still get bought at the end of the window but I think it is highly unlikely due to Bolton not having a manager.
I would add if we do sign him, then well done Dan Rice and team, as it would clearly be a difficult one to get over the line.
