Derby offered a deal rising to £1million and were prepared to loan back Bayliss to Coventry for the rest of the season, but the League Two club turned down the offer.

I heard it was £50k up front and £950k when we build a new stadium

I think even Robins is surprised by how well he’s doing and the consistent performances he’s putting in every week. After the Cheltenham game, Robins said he won’t be able to play every week but atm he’s undroppable. Form speaks for itself since he’s came in - 8 wins out of 10

Someone draw up a 10 year contract and fold it up so it looks like a small bit of paper then ask for his autograph. Sorted.

“But, when it’s something else and there’s a bid just coming out of the blue, at the end of the day it was easy to reject them. Ben was subject to one and Tom Bayliss was subject another – Tom has played twelve games, just got in the team and is playing well; he just need to keep his head down and work.

“He’s a very level-headed lad. He’s really impressive and he will be focused on his job. Now he has an understanding on how things unfold and how things happen during a melee of a transfer window.”

We have an Acadamy a thriving one at that producing talent now worth many times what we received for them for other teams. After Christie, Thomas, Wilson, Maddison there will be Baylis in the summer possibly Shipley, Willis and Ponticelli too. Add to that the likes of young McCann shipped off to Manchester United at 15 for a quarter of a million, there could be others I know of two likely ones who knows. All being replaced by journeymen types the manager hopes will do a job. Those who do such as McNulty will be sold off too. Now you can’t stop young players bettering themselves and you can’t stop players chasing better contracts elsewhere but where will it end, non league that’s where clubs know this and are forever monitoring our Acadamy to nick prodigys on the cheap, loan them out for a season and bingo. Sepalla has sussed this puts nothing in sits back and every 6 months in comes another half a million quid or more with a few add ins as a bonus she can’t lose can she.

I think you give Joy too much credit, I am sure that she is unaware of anything outside of court dates.
We have a quality academy and you think that's the reason for our descent?

He's almost certainly been offered a new contract already
I'd guess his advisors are involved in the discussions. If the terms are right they will advise him to sign or what his other options are
It's common sense for the lad
As Rio Ferdinand mentioned him when making the cup draw it gives us a clue
Rio owns the company that represent Tom

Yes, right. No other club in the world is in the same boat are they. did you see that Alexis Sanchez left Arsenal and Aub Left Dortmund last week.? I'm not sure that it was to line the clubs pockets. Have a think at to why they left, then, think about a lower league club trying to break even and you might find that 2+2=4 and not 5.
If a decent offer comes in and the club need the money then its only going to end one way. Its not always been like that though. Remember Ian Wallace, Stuart Pearce, Dublin, Boateng? We weren't a selling club then either. Nothings changed since the 70's and 80's so I really cant see what your issue is.

Your usual half baked conspiracy nonsense. So what? The academy is probably keeping the club going or at least limiting the amount of money SISU puts in (which is a good thing, no point them loading any more interest bearing debt / control on the club). Can you please explain to me why this is a bad thing? What is the alternative model?

Also, I counter your claim that academy players are being replaced by journeymen. They're being replaced by more academy players Wilson, Maddison and Bayliss for example have never appeared on the pitch together. Likewise Christie, Thomas and Shipley.

And don't forget we take players from lower division clubs ourselves. Jones and Stokes both joined in the last few years from clubs below us in the pyramid

Yes, the difference is that we're now a 3rd / 4th tier club not a top flight one.

We're also in a different world football-wise where wealth is increasingly concentrated amongst the 'elite' clubs (a reflection of wider society really)

Hang on, a minute ago the argument was “it’s always been like this”, now it’s “it’s a brand new world and things are different”.

Which is it?

It's always been like this yes but our position in that pyramid has also changed. It isn't that difficult.

Apparantly according to Mr Fisher we are now cash flow positive, how much do you reckon of the millions received for those players has found itself to the manager for realistic team building ?

Do you know what cash flow positive means? It means we have actual money to be running the club and not running the club on credit. It doesn't mean we're swimming in profit or that Joy is ordering a new handbag

He was hardly ‘shipped off’ was he? That implies he didn’t want to go or was forced out when our academy manager said United was the only club he wanted to leave Cov for

This is great. Young lads favourite player is Bayliss, it’s his birthday and they’re flying out somewhere. Bayliss meets them in the airport and gives him a signed shirt

Great gesture but I'd rather he was signing a contract than a shirt. Almost resigned to losing him already.

After that, did Tom Bayliss skateboard away to the back of McDonald's to deal some dope with his homies?
