    It's purely a guess on my part, but it might be influenced by our marketing department wanting to link new signings to a push for a few more season ticket sales.

    Derby Sanction

    It'll be interesting to see how this plays out for Derby. Once their revised formatted accounts are submitted and a final decision made on the punishment or otherwise. This will hit them during the next few weeks, as they will struggle to recruit and renegotiate contracts AND the consortium...

    James gone to Brizzle

    You would be the first to moan if we paid £20k a week on a three year contract & he injured his knee and was out for the season. Trust MR to do the best for the club with the money available

    Not a transfer, but a manager moving between Championship clubs. It’s being reported that Ismael from Barnsley is being lined up for the West Brom job. Itll be interesting to see what impact that has on both clubs recruitment
