Not really Blooms though is it; he has told his club owner & DoF who his targets are and they are the ones making the bids etc.
Re: Rumour Mill
Who would not want a winners medal, safe in the knowledge you will be playing Championship football next year either with us or someone who's paid a vast sum for your services? I think Kone will stay. I say again, the constant 'disappointment' in MB for trying to do the best job he can for his new employers I find as risible as Rice laughing diabolically when he sees the Luton number come up on his phone.
Re: Rumour Mill
@TheDancingYak the zebra crossing and the black and white poll with the orange bit on the top are different things. Everton mints and their wrappers are also notable for their being separate items. Is Richard Kone’s torso actually Oxford and Cambridge blue under that football shirt? That is as yet unknown.

Re: Caleb Taylor returns until end of season..... Discuss
Well, the rules say they can't, but this is Derby County we're talking about...
Re: Rumour Mill
This process with Luton suggests that there is no actual negotiation going on. It's simply a question of them suggesting a number and us saying no. If we were TRULY motivated to sell we would have fed back that number by now.
And also all these massive numbers are UP TO. So that is x up front plus. And who knows what the make up of that plus could be. Luton winning the Champions League? We can get excited about the big number but if it is £2.5 million thats the number, plenty of clubs get stiffed with add ons (including us).
And as for Matt's role in all of this he has said the board do the transfers. If you were in the sh1t and needed goals then it make sense to go after the hottest property you think you can afford. I am sure Matt is not sat there thinking how he can ruin my day. He probably feels a pang of discomfort I am sure. Saving Luton and seeing his team of 20 odd years get promoted in one season would be a joy for him. And if it happened I would happily put him on the open top Transit van as it drove past Stewart and Arnold as part of it's victory route.
Re: Rumour Mill
It is mad to think that only 18 months ago any one of our players could have probably had a £500k bid offered and we'd have sold up without question...
Not worried about Kone going to Luton. Genuinely believe he will stay with us if we go up, and if we don't he can have the pick of any Championship club (and Luton will be in L1 anyway). There will be a number of high flying Championship teams keeping very close tabs on the king between now and end of the season.
Re: Required points for promotion.
Definitely.
Wrexham are heavily built on their home record, and that loss last night will have really shaken them. Not like it was one of those games either, they conceded 3!
And now they've got an almighty away game backlog, 12 homes, 16 aways to go.
It's interesting see that Huddersfield have a similar imbalance, playing 15 at home and just 12 away.
