If it's going to remain in its current guise, almost nobody I'd think. Take a read of this, 11 months old now & tell me what's actually changed since? Sky Blue Trust - Key Points from the Open Discussion at the Sky Blue Trust AGM, 15th July, 2019

The club will not (completely understandably) engage with a Trust which has sought to undermine them, actively worked against them & tried to force a takeover. As others have said, some of those people are still involved - Lionel Bird, Roger Ellis etc. They should disband & start again with ALL...

Exactly right. Wrongly reported elsewhere before they'd seen the conditions that need to be met: - the Player is returning from a curtailed division - the Transferee Club has not qualified to participate in a Play-Off Competition - without including the Player on the Team Sheet, the Transferor...

He can't be involved, even if they wanted him to.

Do people really have nothing better to do? :emoji_rolling_eyes:

Pretty clear they don't actually want change but want to appear as if they do.

He's been injured since October tbf.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, especially with Rose's injury situation.

No. That was Ben Stevenson who had his dad phone in sick for him.

He's on £17k per week at the minute, Hull had the option to extend but he'd get an automatic increase to £20k if triggered. Think he will probably want more than we would be looking to offer.

Exactly right, plus the likes of Pep like to rotate a lot. From that graph, would anybody in the world class Harry Maguire as a bigger success than Sterling or Mané!? :emoji_confused:

Nobody has a problem with Liverpool winning the league, one of the best teams in years but it's their plastic fans that rile people. And things like this:

I agree which is why I'd be very surprised if there's any truth in the Tom Clarke link too. More likely agents touting imo.

Can also be negotiating players out too. I'd imagine Sunderland's includes offloading some of their previous high earners. Still utter madness.

Wouldn't really fit the model imo, the experience & leadership would definitely be valuable but he's really poor on the ball.

Agree & also agree with SBD. He's not a bad player but not better than the 4 first team CBs we already have. Coming in as 5th choice would only stand in the way of developing Williams & Drysdale. If we bring in another CB he has to be to challenge the current established 3.

Exactly. Villa probably believe that what they offered previously is as much as they are prepared to offer & with him already refusing it they're prepared to allow him to leave with compensation.

Yes, so as I suspected by the wording, he was offered one previously but not offered again recently. So it only needs that previous offer to be at least as good as his current contract for them to be entitled to compensation.

I wonder if he's not been offered a new one recently having rejected others previously - so both are kind of correct? As you say, makes little sense not to try & get something for him.

Bailey Wright, Aussie international on loan from Bristol City - easily their best defender at the time. He's out of contract now & I think they'll be pursuing him on a permanent deal.
