Bristol Rovers refusing to suspend him. Granted him a few days off to "spend with his family" ironically.

Robins has already said he's looking for another centre mid. The one he's conceded defeat on is a 2nd LWB so looks like Reid will indeed be backup to Maatsen.

Always going to be the way because of his profile. Typical English media. Said it last season that he's under qualified for the role but Derby's problems are far, far bigger than him.

Would much rather have Cranie than Lees.

They didn't. That was the rumoured asking price so they took him on loan instead. No doubt still stumped up a substantial loan fee though.

That's a really positive move, hope it all works out for him.

They went to Spain with the first team.

Yes, I meant awful management at board level tbh. Although Thorn managing the team certainly didn't help with avoiding relegation either!

We then repeated the feat 11 years later to get relegated from the Championship too: King, Gunnarsson & Westwood all left on frees, Turner for a relatively modest fee & then, just to make sure, Jutkiewicz followed them in January. Just awful management.

Indeed, wasn't a great fit for us but still think he's a good player & has done well at Barnsley. Ipswich throwing some money around this summer to try & finally get back to the Championship.

Unusual one this but there's a rumour that Martin Cranie will be coming in as a trialist to make up the numbers for the upcoming friendlies this week. Whether there's any more to it than that remains to be seen. @better days @skybluebeast @Skybluebeliever Any of you heard this?

The Moore error isn't as horrendous as I feared when I read it on here. He could do better yes but the giveaway by Allen was far worse. These things happen a lot in pre-season friendlies though, calamitous gifts are almost the norm. As long as it's ironed out ready for 2 weeks time!

Gifted them the 2nd didn't he? I've always liked him though & was thrilled when we signed him (bet on us to win the league the day he signed! 😁). Think League One might be his level though.

Clarke-Salter? Yeah, been at Chelsea since U9s

Fair enough, wasn't trying to be condescending, it's just you said the other day you'd never heard of Ian Maatsen which I was surprised by. Well, even if Lees was to take a 50% pay cut he'd still be our highest earner... What attributes does he have to warrant that apart from "experience"...

I like him. Was excellent in his first spell at Brum & like @SBAndy I was a big advocate for us signing him. He struggled with injuries a bit last season & of course Brum had that clown Karanka in charge for the most part too. He's naturally left sided & very comfortable in possession, would...

In what way is he better than what we have or better than the likes of Clarke-Salter as an example? He's a proper throwback 80's style defender, head & kick everything but woeful in possession. Even then McFadz pisses all over him in pretty much every relevant statistic. Its pretty clear from...

Good god, I hope not, we have far more ambition than that.
