Do you know whether any previous manager has had such a clause in their contract?

I’m struggling to see any positives in being a Rovers fan right now. As bad as everything currently is, it’s almost certainly going to get worse. Every time you think we must’ve reached the nadir something happens to prove that we haven’t. I wish I could stop caring.

This means their goals don’t count right?

Or Hanlon’s?

Cliff Richard - Devil Woman

No, they’ve made that nice and simple 😁:

I guess how they’d handle the conversation with him would influence how he’d feel about the situation. Of course with our lot they’d almost certainly handle it badly. One final thing, showing empathy isn’t, and never will be, a weakness.

A permanent transfer requires a new work permit - I guess the benefit would lie in him not taking up an ESC slot of any prospective new club. This might be particularly helpful if he were to move to a L1 or L2 club as they only get up to 2 ESC players. It would also make it easier to loan him out as currently he’d count as an ESC player for both us and the club we sent him to.

Charge your battery!

I can’t see why not.

This clearly doesn’t affect your overall point but the E is Elite (Elite Significant Contribution).

I’d request a cut of his transfer fee but we all know he’d leave on a free.

LeAnn Rimes - How Do I Live

Yes I did read it - I think your points are very good - it’s just impossible to know from the regs whether the panel would think the same. Agree on your domestic youth player comment, I was just trying to work out their thinking regarding giving so many points for a debut.

An Autopass would be having played 60%+ minutes of the relevant international games* over the previous 24 months. * This excludes friendlies unless less than 30% of that countries games (over that period) were competitive ones.

Then cheer as he slots in the winner…

What makes this ‘journalist’ think Travis could sign a pre contract agreement with Derby in January?

Yep (for as long as we’re in The Championship). I guess the idea is to reward club’s for giving youth a chance - but you’d have thought they’d have set that chance a bit higher than a minute! Youth player for this season is anyone born on or before 1st January 2004.

Yes, I mentioned he’d be an exception panels case yesterday but omitted to do so this time - my mistake. I’m not sure whether he’d get through that way as the regulations are very subjective on this - all they say is it must be demonstrated that the player only failed to get to 15 points because of ‘exceptional circumstances’. There’s also the £5,000 + VAT fee the club would need to pay (up front) which needs to be considered - would Pasha sign off on that????

No, the points are only awarded for a league debut. Any minutes in the cup are irrelevant.

Our League One (17-18) turnover was £9 million with the following reductions vs the relegation (£14.9 million) year: £0.5 million match day income £4.8 million media income £0.6 million commercial and other income. Wage bill went from £22 million to £16.8 million.

One more thing about Elliott’s article: It’s irrelevant that Mafoumbi hasn’t made a debut with any other club. What matters is 1. he’s a youth player and 2. him making his Rover’s league debut.

Thank you. Do we think Elliott has been reading again or is it just a coincidence he’s just written this piece? I maintain he’s wrong about the Japanese player btw - I think he’d need to be an ESC but not because he played yesterday.

I agree with GBE expert that the debut needs to be in the league.
