Thing is big clubs spend far more on just as unproven promise as Clough. He's only need to be at Man U/Chelsea/Arsenal for 2 seconds to get an England cap - that's how it works...
clearly not in Clough's case!! I am sure if they had come in and bid £10mill - we'd have taken it... so presumably they haven't.
Going off past form, we'd have turned it down and accept far less a bit later!

We went and nicked a young prospect off a club that was in meltdown?

I'm aghast.

We didn't. He terminated his contract early to help the club out. Then we signed him.

That went to the lad's agent. I'm fairly sure we'd have had a word to help his decision to help Rangers...

D'yer mean Gregg Wylde? He now plays for Plymouth, so he's either got over his homesickness or he signed without consulting a map.

Wylde was also the man subbed off for Bolton loanee Oscar Threlkeld to make his Argyle debut. Which is interesting, considering Wylde's a left-winger and Threlkeld usually plays right-back.

Gary Fraser. He went on loan to Partick Thistle where he was banned for kicking an opponent 'repeatedly on the head and body'.

Wasn't it the lad from Saints who was homesick? Andy Robinson iirc.

Bruce, if he (ED) got the adulation & praise for funding our European nights and rightly so, he is equally accountable & responsible for the demise and shambolic situation the club is now in. He has every right to walk away and stop pumping money in whenever he chooses, but to just turn the tap off without an alternative financial plan in place & then just stand back and let the club implode is unforgiveable in my book.

Again everyone is entitled to an opinion in regards to ED (& PG) and it doesn't mean anyone is right or wrong - but I'm in
the Pru camp in regards to both ED & PG

What's the saying that a manager is only as good as his last result? It's gonna be the case with Eddie for some fans too. Can't blame fans for getting pissed off with him considering what a shambles the club is in.

In other news, Nixon says a Championship club is interested in Pratley. He's a player I wouldn't be arsed about leaving. No idea who is going to replace all these players like ...

Saw him scoring for Colchester yesterday. Maybe he really does perform better down south.

Maybe. His first goal for the third-tier club was in Sheffield, but four of the other five have been at home (the exception being at Wealdstone).

Andy Robinson from Southampton? Had a season-long loan, signed permanently, promptly left.

Not sure Greggy Wylde was homesick, just not very good.

Threlkeld has been playing in Midfield for Plymouth on loan...

Wylde we chased for ages, took him on but weren't allowed to play him but then, once we were he was never picked. I don't think he got as much as a second for us.

Didn't we loan him to Bury ?

... & yes, the Southampton lad who expected to be a first teamed as soon as he signed. Left to a southern non-league club I think.

... & Sordell will forever be a mystery.
