Probably keeping them in bubbles to reduce infections.
Hopefully with Eccles back and some others recovered from COVID/injuries then we won't need him.
Probably keeping them in bubbles to reduce infections.Shipley will go. He's been in almost every since squad for the past 2 months and not once stepped on the pitch. What's worrying about this is, no matter what the score or the outcome of the match, MR doesn't use him but instead of bringing in a young u23s player for the experience or the step up, he keeps listing Shipley. Why is that? Do we not have a single u23 player who could step up in a crisis?
Sure, but it doesn´t even sound like they are going to try.
Well put LG - very objective and well argued. I guess that we will know if those conversations have taken place (and been agreed to) in the next couple of weeks. Although I'd be inclined to say they probably have - to no avail - as I'd think both Hilsner and Jobello would probably prefer moves back "home" and not sure if Window applies to where they may be looking to go??? (Lower league French/German divisions?)I'm sure you could give Shipley away to a L1 club for free. I think it's just playing semantics to say you can't when really what we're talking about is arranging a free transfer for a player who isn't wanted here, will want to play football and will be wanted at that level. If we're keeping him because of a last resort of COVID then it's a waste of resources as if he's gone we can call a game off for not having 14 players.
Hilsner and Jobello, again this is semantics. You can pay up a players contract and release them unilaterally. This may mean we make no savings but there will be secondary costs aroun insurance, training etc. that we save on if we aren't going to use them anyway. If we were to offer them a mutual termination on 90% salary I'm sure we'd get acceptance as they can then pick up a new club where they can play.
"What would you do if your employer said that you were going to have your contract cancelled - for no reason- and had nothing lined up?"
That is a false equivalence. What is more like reality is being on a 12 month contract somewhere and after 9 months them telling you they don't need you, paying you 3 months instead of notice and then letting you get on a find another job.
MR has said repeatedly that he's trying to move Pask, Jobello & Hilßner on, not sure where the notion we're not has come from.
We might be able to pay up Jobello (worst case scenario) but with Hilßner he still has 18 months left on his contract, that will be a hefty settlement for us to payout when there's a chance somebody could take him for nothing & it's not going to add to our budget is it?
In terms of potential incomings, I initially fancied we would add a couple of quality PL loanees but must admit I'm not even hopeful of that now. With the current climate PL clubs will be reluctant to let their best young players go as they may be needed in the first team. In fact look at Wolves, recalling the likes of Ryan Giles & Dion Sanderson, actually weakening other teams in the Championship.
This is a load of bollocks . Millwall in financial mire.Millwall.... 1.5 mill!??
Didn't we take a "covid" loan offered by the EFL??
Definitely used furlough- pretty sure I read Boddy said we'd taken an EFL loan too.I dont think many clubs were impressed by the financial assistance package of efl...was just a loan that I dontvthink we used.
But I'm sure we used the furlough government scheme for players and staff.
He's one of our own hope he gets himself a club soon scored some big goals to get us to where we are nowShipley I would think is our only decent player that would have a queue of league 1 clubs after him. He scored alot of goals in league 1.
It's a matter if he can agree terms better or similar to here. To balance off moving out the area potentially. I dont even think hes ever been out on loan.
Think we are close to coming to an agreement with jobello , Hilßner is a different case he has a longer contract as you say and is on a decent wage , Pask I think is also close to finding a clubMR has said repeatedly that he's trying to move Pask, Jobello & Hilßner on, not sure where the notion we're not has come from.

From what I remember he'd been on trial/training with us for a while as well hadn't he?The Hilssner deal is baffling. You could see in his first game (the rangers friendly) he was useless. Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot. Whoever scouted him should be embarrassed
Makes it even worseFrom what I remember he'd been on trial/training with us for a while as well hadn't he?
It was the same bloke who said kastaneer was a coupThe Hilssner deal is baffling. You could see in his first game (the rangers friendly) he was useless. Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot. Whoever scouted him should be embarrassed
He continues to train at ryton with the first team , he is recovering from injury and covid if we got an offer then yes I think he will goWhat about Dacosta?
Same person who scouted Hamer , McCallum , O’hare etcThe Hilssner deal is baffling. You could see in his first game (the rangers friendly) he was useless. Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot. Whoever scouted him should be embarrassed
Hamer probably, O'hare no chanceSame person who scouted Hamer , McCallum , O’hare etc
Why not ?Hamer probably, O'hare no chance

Always very well informed @Skybluebeliever so imagine this must be close to happening. I'm still musing on your recent comments about how it could be an interesting couple of months if certain things materialise... Can you shed any further light on this? Presumably this relates to off field things?Think we are close to coming to an agreement with jobello , Hilßner is a different case he has a longer contract as you say and is on a decent wage , Pask I think is also close to finding a club
So our European scout has found one good player who cost us a million and 4 duds

European scout ?
We have 2 full time people in recruitment
Think it’s the same people that scout all the players whether in Europe or the UK

Loan offered to us by Villa , so I'm guessing a different procedureWhy not ?
Did the club follow a different process to bring in O’hare ?
