Been told to fuck off it seems. Looks like we all got it wrong on this one. Love how MH excels at signing shite or ancient forwards on great contracts, or finding out later they enjoy animal cruelty. If only he were that good at signing forwards who could actually score eh? His record on the pitch was decent and he scored from the bench a couple of times. He looked to me to have a fair bit of promise but apparently it was in training where he fell foul of Dame Margaret Hughes. I wish we could find a use and a place for these slightly more maverick players. Who was that lad that looked every inch a Scouse junkie but had you keeping half an eye on him all the time because you never knew what was coming next? Taylor? Give me one or two of those per squad and a manager that can handle them and I’m happy. Sadly the likes of Taylor are getting rarer and as they get older then seem to get more erratic and unprofessional - check out his post City 'career' - never stayed anywhere long. Bit like good old Billy Knott - the part of their character that makes them likeable and worth watching is also kind of their downfall. Likewise I thought that Harry McKirdy would do well in Scotland but he's been gash apparently.

Embarrassing Hughes more by the week.

Young’s scored more goals than our entire team.
I fucking hate Mark Hughes.

Recalled.
Smith has had ample league chances to nail down that second starting spot but hasn't done enough.
If we can't find room for a 20 goal striker at this stage of the season we may as well not bother and sell him straight on.

We're going to Eoin Doyle the fuck out of this.

Let's hope he doesn't hold a grudge.

Let's hope he doesn't hold a grudge. Biggest plus is that Hughes is out of the picture.

He's 100% being sold.

Slight ankle knock.
He's being sold. Wonderful.

If we’re selling him it’s an improvement on our usual tactic of recalling them, ruining them, then paying them to fuck off at the end of the season.

Does GA set up our play to get the most out of Young who scored 16 for someone else, or keep it going for Cook who's still here for another 2.5 years?
If he can get them working as a partnership that'd be bloody brilliant. But the reality is in about 30 years of watching us I think we've had 3-4 forward partnerships that have actually worked, so I don't have much hope for it.
IMO we're selling to a L1 club and lumping in various clauses such as sell-on and promotion.

We have a player who we can actually seek to sell for a fee
The fact that he's had to go elsewhere to prove his worth should be a source a concern and embarrassment to this club
It won't be though. We'll do the same with Pointon. Then hope, by some sheer fucking miracle, we find another. And so on and so on

Alexander says cryptically that he is not in charge of the player, bar contractually.
Hinting that he's pulled out, hoping for a move. Who can blame him.

I hope we sell sooner rather than when the window is about to close.
The club need some positive action in this window to try and push STs as at the moment patience is waning and they need a few decent signings. We all know however what the reality will likely be. More McDonalds and Derbyshries.

I hope we sell on deadline day for 50p and get a Tom Elliot esque loan replacement just for the meltdown.
We're doing nothing as a football club, we may as well get a laugh out of it.

Footballing giants Exeter and Port Vale linked.
Just to reiterate how lowly we register on the scale now.
Bin him off to Exeter, at least they have previous in developing and selling youth. Watkins, Ampadu, Williams etc
