  1. If it works like it does in FM (I know...), once a player is within the final 6 months of his contract, he's free to discuss terms on a pre-agreement. The owning club doesn't have a say in this, at that stage. Once a deal is agreed, the transfer takes place upon expiry of the contract. The onus for the owning club is to tie a contract up before you get to the final 6 months.
  2. Additionally, how many times have we fallen foul of the 'weaker' sides? Like Iceland, under Woy. In any case, we beat Germany in a knockout phase in the last couple of tournaments - and, without checking, I'm sure we've beaten some Croatia-level sides also. You don't get to choose who you play; the trick is beating them and progressing.
  3. To be fair and to use the full sentence on that, he described it as moving from a 'massive club' to 'another massive' club, which he felt extremely lucky to have represented both. He worked hard in the games he did play for us, so no complaints from me.
  4. Have a feeling, based on absolutely nothing factual, that Batth will stay and it's already been agreed - but the club are planting the seeds of doubt in the local media. So when the new contract is announced, they can spin it as a huge achievement.
  5. A proper captain and a proper man. To think we picked him up on a free. Sparky's scouting setup knew their stuff.
  6. It's a 4-2-3-1. But I find the inclusion of Jordan Henderson the most baffling aspect.
  7. Our best GK in recent times (Kaminski) spoke really highly of Benson, during his time here. Not sure why so many people seem to have such a low opinion of him, to be honest.
  8. He is, but not a very good/reliable one. As long as anyone who reads his red-top gossip guff understands that it is exactly that. By default, he'll get one right every so often, but even in those cases, he's usually covered all bases and caveated.
  9. Absolutely my attitude. If he's adamant on leaving, then let's move on and wish him luck. For his sake, lets hope it's not another Nyambe situation.
  10. Nah, surely that'd be on par with winning the Auto Windscreens Trophy, or whatever it's called now? A major domestic trophy would be the top division, FA Cup or League Cup, in my opinion.
  11. I was surprised when I heard this. Probably take success for granted, seeing Rovers' rich history across the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. But blew my mind a little than a fairly prominent club like Palace had never won a proper trophy in their history until today.
  12. I don't believe for a second that the owners even know that we have a women's football team, never mind making a decision on whether to fund it. Look closer in the direction of those who may have a vested interest in reducing costs. Possibly benefitting by way of annual revenue targets / personal 'performance' bonuses. Think large sums straight into their pension pots, for a competely random example.
  13. Yes, everyone with a different opinion to you must be an employee of the club... He's generally not done much at all when he's played for us, but every now and then (Newcastle at home in the cup, for example), he shows that there's a player in there. If you can't see it, fair enough.
  14. I'm not sure, I think Markanday could do the vast majority of what Dolan offered.
