whoopee, Burton have now signed abut 12 players, the most experienced being Jayson Shara, the guy who couldn't get into hursts team, they even paid money for him yes they signed a player today, Dylan Williams , a kid on loan from Chelsea ( no surprise their new manager was his manager last season ) he has 2 league starts to his name, for derby county when they only had kids to pick from when in admin in the championship he was also part of the derby side that got humiliated by Chorley in the fa cup I mean yeah, what could have been , I mean if Burton didn't have new owners they wouldn't have signed any players at all this season lets stop comparing to Burton before we have anything to comapre with so far what we have is those owners had the chance to buy us but couldn't pay the going rate, the swedes didn't meet our demands, they just messed us about trying to get us on the cheap ( exactly what the moaners wrongly accused out club of doing with Dan Udoh, ) the swedes are the losers here, they could have had a nice club in a pretty historic town, instead they have Burton Albion, lets stop being nice about them First paragraph,first deliberate error.I would say that Dominic Orsi from Crawley is more experienced than Sraha and that's just for starters but hey wouldn't want to spoil the effect I was impressed with him in the play off semi but I believe league 2 is the highest level he has played at Team Apps (Gls) 2013–2015 Cockfosters 20 (0) 2018 East Thurrock United 8 (2) 2018–2019 Hungerford Town 31 (9) 2019–2020 Hampton & Richmond Borough 32 (12) 2020–2021 Maidenhead United 39 (19) 2021–2022 Harrogate Town 10 (1) 2022 → Boreham Wood (loan) 24 (2) 2022–2023 Grimsby Town 24 (2) 2023–2024 Crawley Town 45 (19)

Probably gone for a few hundred quid a week more....but strung us along for 12 mths🤷🤷🤦 A few hundred quid a week more, so over a year £15k more. And the same probably over 3 years. I certainly wouldn't say no to that added to my salary! Even more so when you consider the likely prospects of both teams over that three year period. I don’t doubt he loved being here but it was a complete no brainer for him.

But if it helps you get through things by all means keep believing he’s crap. And if you’re judging purely on scoring record, what must you think of his replacement Lloyd?

And if you’re judging purely on scoring record, what must you think of his replacement Lloyd? just for fun I asked chat GPT the follow question Name for a person who's demands are met but then asks for more A person whose demands are met but then asks for more can be described as insatiable or greedy. Other terms that might fit include unappeasable, demanding, or never satisfied. In certain contexts, such a person could also be labeled as a taker or entitled.

A person in a short and precarious career takes the opportunity to cash in while he can and this shocks some people.
As for the ‘loving the club’ nonsense that all players trot out, if you believe any of it I have a beautiful bridge in London I can sell to you.

Would imagine if you put "football player's agent" into chat GPT you would get the same outcome, it's their percentage they are after.

Will still only be witnessed by 3.5/4k each week. Wycombe is not a football mad town.

Sounds like a good agent in my opinion, advised him not to commit too early, and has found him a better deal. If Udoh had signed the contract we offered him back in August he’d 100% have buyers remorse right now, would probably be requesting a transfer and probably would’ve sacked his agent!

Was the offer made in August to increase his wage to £3k a week and a 3 year contract or was that the final offer we made? Was the offer to increase it from then or the end of his contract?

I knew someone would ask that as soon as someone tried to defend the club bashing And sure as day I knew you’d be along to do that 😂 it comes natural and is very easy seeing as its the club I support hey chat GPT, what does support mean as in supporting a football club ? Supporting a football club means being a fan or follower of that team. It involves cheering for the team, attending their games, wearing their merchandise, and generally showing loyalty and enthusiasm for the club’s success. Supporters often engage in activities such as watching matches, discussing the team with others, participating in fan events, and sometimes even traveling to support the team at away games. The term implies a sense of emotional investment and dedication to the club.
cue someone steeling my joke and running with it ;-)

No issue with Nolan coming in if he’s looking good, so long as he’s not being seen initially as a key piece to the puzzle. Extra bodies are always handy so even if he gets 15 appearances it will help us out with squad depth. Id worry though if he’s seen as a major contributor for us. Surely not based on MM comments about injuries last season etc

He's putting his money in to protect his own asset. It's hardly 'investment'. if you seriously think he will get any of that £2m back then you need to have a re think, as for calling it an investment he would have been better investing £2m in tulipmania How much will he get if he sells the club?

Jon Nolan IS training with Shrewsbury & looking impressive I’ve been told Christ I hope not. He's barely played for several years and last season was in regional leagues (and still got released). Cannot believe for a second his body is upto league football anymore

Cannot believe for a second his body is upto league football anymore It would be ironic if we didn't sign Jack Price because of fitness concerns and instead signed Nolan who is the same age as Price and has made 13 games appearances across the last 3 seasons, the last of which was the same level as Telford. There was a bit of a debate earlier in the thread whether you'd prefer Rodman or Shipley. At this rate we may get to see Rodman again this season.

Put it this way when the club had a rumoured £12m tag on it a couple of years ago , the chairman has since put in £2m of his own cash and recently he couldn't even tempt delves to buy the club for £8m I predict he won't put any more money into the club, will Borrow instead this means the debt will build up , and value go down , it will then attract asset strippers who will turn up milk the club dry and scarper That's why I said he'd be better off selling them himself now

And he needs to face the fact that the longer he holds on, that value is only going to decrease due to the managed decline he’s put the club on.

I thought the story was it fell apart because they wanted exclusivity rights for 12 months? It's amazing all this fake news isn't it? you are talking about the last time they appeared , they have been here 4 times in total wasting our time So they had approached the club 3 times previously and then on the 4th occasion wanted exclusivity rights? Maybe it's just me but that doesn't quite add up, I would have thought that anyone who wanted exclusivity rights would have done so from the outset, not on the 4th time of asking.
