A shame it won't be the end of Darby.

I have a gut feeling that Darbs will leave in the summer.

Unfortunately it's very unlikely. He is on League1 wages but nobody above the Conference will touch him. Unless we can do a deal where we continue to pay a good deal of his wages next season follwing a move he'll still be at the club and he will sit out the remainder of his contract. It's a crying shame because we could get two very good players in for what we're paying him. It's a source of great frustration to the management and directors but thanks to Quinn we're stuck with him.

It was an incredible decision to sign him on a 3 year deal.
Can anyone remember the last player over 25 we signed on anything more than a 2 year deal?

Does anyone know exactly how much we are paying him. Ive heard many rumours from £800 all the way up to £2000 pw. Does anyone actually know how much he is on? If he is getting payed the latter the theres no way we can afford to pay him off.

He's on around £1800 a week and there is no way we can pay him off so, in all probability, we're stuck with him for another season.
We got promoted despite Quinn not because of him!

Any decent manager with the huge budget and squad resources given to Quinn last season should have won the league, the fact that we finished such a very poor 3rd speaks volumes about Quinn's ability as a manager.

Totally agree! Last season, Graham Turner managed a squad of 18-19 players, had no money to bring anyone in, they were all on small wages and he managed to get them second with 91 points. Shrewsbury, under Quinn probably had more money than anyone else in the conference (apart from telford but we know what happened to them). Anyone he wanted the board seemed to give him, yet he only managed to finish 20 points behind this Hereford side.
In conclusion: Quinn = cr@p!

Anyone have a vision of a fully fit Derby who becomes the 20 goal a season striker we all agree we need?

I reckon the board should have given the Jag to the Aldershot player who missed the open header in the dying minutes.

If it is £1800 a week it has to be sorted. The club cannot afford to be paying him that for another season. Fair enough if it was a very good league two quality striker who was getting regular goals. But it isnt its donkey darby who has played four games this season and when he was fit in the conference wasnt scoring enough for the wages he was on!

£1800 could be a figure which includes appearance and bonus money.
It doesn't sound ridiculous to me. Remember we were buying a player from a club which had been paying ridiculous wages itself (Ru$hden) and also bidding against a league one club (Peterborough).
Compare our wage bill last season in the Conference compared to the previous season when we were in the league - I bet it was way higher.

Whilst in the Conference we were signing experienced League1 players (O'Connor,Darby) and experienced League2 players (Howie,Cramb,Tinson). None of those came cheap and particularly not Darby!

look at the players Quinn brought in.
the defense was solid one of the best in the conference.
Plenty of manager could have fudged up.
Yes we were lucky, but
Quinn had the forsight to plan for penalties, as well as the forsight to bring in a truley top class lower league goalkeeper, as well as a provern league central defensive partership.
We shouldnt have signed Darby on the lengh of contract or the wages we did, however he scored some vital goals, and last time i checked it was the chairman the a) negotiated the transfer fee and b) did the contract negotiations.
The same goes for paying off players.

No, it's negotiated by the manager who then makes recommendations to the board.
