Certainly grew as a player for us. Its likely to be another tough start; 'Daddies boy' tag, team playing awful, results and form dire, and he comes in to add something creative. If that doesnt reap immeadiate rewards its likely to add extra pressue to Simpson Snr too.

I reject the suggestion he got hassle because he was the manager's son. He just was not very good. Young player of the year? Who was he up against? And who picked (or rather, didn't pick) the young players? Nope, sorry. Good riddance and it didn't take a genius (after all, Pricey thought of it ) that he was going to end up at Stockport

Dave, he most definitley had to win over support to loose any idea he was here for anything other than favouritism/nepotism. He wasnt great and had an awful start, then months off before coming back into favour.(Probably still a better bet than L Neal) If Bradshaw had of been introduced 3 weeks before voting was cast Jake wouldnt have had a look in for young player. Paul Simpsons claim that it was a coaches decision to bring him in, and not influenced by him was and is laughable.

I'm really quite suprised at this obssession with our ex manager and his family,
both the Simpson's were decent persons, and decent enough footballers, managers,
Young players, Joe Skarz, David Button, Jon Taylor, Danny Taylor, Tom Bradshaw, Steven Leslie, Will Richards, B VDB, Arestidou
I thought he'd end up with his dad also,
I'd much rather talk about positives from our ex-players this evening, i.e. Joe Hart

Jake was a decent player for us last season and showed some signs of real class. I wished we had managed to keep him as no doubt he will be one to look out for in the future.
I think he will do a great job there.

I don't think he is as bad as people make out, but there you go. Not all wingers are speedy tricksters and I thought that he had a decent delivery and a good work rate.
I think this signing has to be taken in the context of Stockports predicament. They're skint and I imagine that junior will be very cheap. He's played games at this level, he's young, wants to prove himself and at least Simpson senior knows what he's getting.
Good luck junior and senior, they're both going to need it.
