Im not a stickler for the regs and even I know it only applies if he were to move abroad.

"Please have your pitchforks at the ready"

I wonder if Cantwell's phantom injury will have cleared up in time for this one?

Agreed.

I didn't really rate Saxton tbh but 6th and 5th is still better than we've managed in the last 15 years. I was thinking more specifically of the Don Mackay era.

Ok but that assumes they're prepared to assume losses of tens of millions of pounds to pocket a few agent's fees. Im not against anything that can be proven that shows wrongdoing on the part of the owners Im trying to figure out how it stacks up. If that happened I think it comes under the envelope of Venky's being the real owners but being completely negligent and therefore the Club being ripped off, not for the first time imo.

It was my mistake to the extent I thought it was you who'd coined the phrase "witch hunt". Maybe it was chaddy? On checking you actually used the phrase "outright harassment" which imo is equally sensationalist. Why is it a crime to wonder why Forum minutes "appear" to have been edited or doctored or even embellished to make the Club look better? And In what sense does 02G not have the opportunity to comment or defend himself? Im sure he will once he returns from holiday.

Agree with that bit, still dont think they WANT relegation, which imo they're taking a hell of a risk on.

And "the Club" poorer. Just thinking Ira's theory through - hypothetically if the Club was really owned by agents then you'd have no need to transfer money outside the Club as you already own it. However if Venky's own it but have given unscrupulous types licence to run it on their behalf then you'd need to get money out of the Club to prosper and that's one pretty decent way, to needlessly appoint yourself as agent for the Club on any sale. IF any of the above occurred you'd expect the other appointed Club officials to step in and stop it.

I know t'was a joke, they're like Hinge and Bracket, but they'd be lost without each other. 🙂

To what end?

Im going to "do a chaddy" on this one if you dont mind and refrain from ploughing through those. It still seems odd to me that any Club would need to employ an agent when selling a player. Surely the CEO/Club Secretary etc should be capable of handling it? Is it standard practice within the game do we know?

It doesn't make me right or wrong. It's an opinion on a player.

You could always put him on ignore? 🙂

When the entire team has imploded in the 2nd half of the season maybe it's not quite that much of a badge of honour. Hyam won it a couple of years ago and I dont rate him either. Edit: Genuine question - why do you think Tronstad never seems to attract much outside interest? It doesn't surprise me but it must be a major surprise to everyone else who seem to rate him so highly?

Maybe, but if true we're unnecessarily paying another agent for no good reason whatsoever. Lining agent's pockets twice on the same deal.

Think that was the only time him and Dack played together. It was no coincidence imo we won.

Leicester 2 Wednesday 1 At least we haven't got to make up 3 points on Wednesday already.

(RB looks up Dunning - Kruger effect)

Without wishing to set everyone off on a rant about how I should never be allowed to darken the doors of a football stadium again because I dont rate Tronstad, I didn't see much different from him yesterday to how I perceive him in general. I just see him as a bit of a nothing player.

Sheff Wed down to ten men on 76. Barry Bannan (unluckily imo) given a second yellow for winning the ball first but catching his man with the follow through. Probably the right decision to the letter of the law now.

Not saying that what you're saying is wrong but why would we need an agent to represent us on the sale of a player.

I find yours and Kent's knowledge on this breathtaking. A lot of it's going straight over my head. Do we think anyone at the Club would have the faintest idea of what you're on about?

Leicester v Sheff Wed game 1-1.

Quote from him from the last FF in the "real" minutes I think. Anyone only has to watch him for a game or two to see that he's a more or less unique talent in that he knows who is going to pass to well before he receives the ball and pulls it off effortlessly. He doesn't need to slow play down by bringing the ball under control first or take a second or two to weigh up his options. Never seen a player quite like him in that respect. Nearest was Tugay. And sideways backwards never take a risk plodder Tyler Morton goes for £15m. If he'd come through Rovers Academy and not Liverpool's, no-one would even look at him twice
