I think the truth at the time was that Dublin was happy to go and the club were happy for him to go if the money was right. Financially we were a mess at the time.Moldovan ….at the same time as Dublin .
I remember going to St James Park & Dublin played centre half that day & marked Alan Shearer !
We came away with a 0 - 0 draw ……if only he didn’t get greedy , he could have become a great No 5
Just read this on the Stoke forum:
Stoke haven't beat us in Stoke since 2006

Not sure that's true, we broke our transfer record 3 times in less than 2 years after selling him

The one that confidently states, "we are a better team than Coventry" too... interesting to know what that is based on as clearly not league position, current form, manager, playing squad. Not sure what that leaves? I'd probably only take about 3 or 4 of their players in our whole matchday squad.

Dublin was a free agent. He could have chosen what side he went to and commanded a huge signing on fee. But he signed a new contract with us. The problem was Richardson then started to pimp him around before the ink was even dry.
Seriously?! Ha!
They've lost almost twice as many games as us this season, scored just 60% of the goals we have, have finished 14th the last two seasons in the league - we're 5th and 12th. What planet is that person on?!
I've just read they're thinking of jettisoning Schumacher as well, although I think it's wild speculation on the NewsNow site.
Not sure that was all the clubs money though. Wasn't it the directors buying the players and pocketing the profit from sales. Defo for Keane and Bellamy anyway!
Considering we had to resort to the likes of Burroughs, Howley, Maguire, Dabo and so on last season… we’re so much stronger this season.
I’m glad MR was on the radio this morning saying he needs to rotate players this next few games. The whole adage of ‘never change a winning team’ or ‘always play your best team’ is well and good until fatigue kicks.
One of the reasons Man City tend to dominate in the final half of a league season is because their squad management is the best.
In the summer, Robins will be working towards having strong 1-2 strong options in every position.

Gonna be tough as they won and that will have released pressure
We should be good enough but who knows
Yep, but it was a scrape past QPR. Something for them to build on but not the most convincing.
Mark Robins should put this up in the dressing room before the game on Saturday.

If we perform vaguely near our best we really ought to be winning. But tiredness and our tendency to give away poor goals make it harder to call.
Managed to bag a couple in the Stoke end.
Not difficult, they have more empty seats these days than we did in the League 1 days.
Didnt he miss a sitter away to Sheff U in the cup, can remeber him getting a lot of stick from fans. Scored against england too when they beat us in the world cup.
I remember him getting emergency centre half duty at Leicester and scoring twoMoldovan ….at the same time as Dublin .

The way Stoke are playing we could possibly play poorly and they would win it for us
