    Can’t see anybody wanting to sign a contract with us until we appoint a proper manager

    "Hi Reece, you have great potential and are already an establish component of the first team. As such we will be looking for around a million pounds plus add ons if Huddersfield Town come calling. Given that you recently committed your future to the club, we feel this is the minimum amount we could accept."

    "Oh. Because this is a good opportunity for me to move to a Championship club, and I honestly wouldn't mind the pay increase? I mean, it's okay if not, I will always hold Bradford City dear to my heart for giving me my break - honestly, if you choose to not sell me, I will be focussed 100 % on playing for this club."

    "Well, you've got us bent over a barrel good and proper, kid. Look, just tell Town that if they give us £20k plus add ons, we'll take it."

    "But..."

    "All right, scrap the add ons. Can they at least loan us a kid?"

    I like the idea of Doyle coming back. I think he can still offer something at this level. However, I've been impressed by Hornby and I reckon he deserves the shot he's been desperate for. We will need to sign a 'keeper though.

    Is Hornby the lad that came in with quite a solid recommendation? He was very close to displacing another good keeper or something?

    Either way, he needs a deputy.

    Couldn't get past Brown at Port Vale so came to us for a chance of first team footie , Brown is a decent keeper to be fair .
    Good luck to him might even earn a new deal if he impresses

    He could only sign a pre contract agreement if he leaves for a non English club.

    I get his ambition but i was lead to believe by a club source thats what happened - and an ex player.

    The guy was a serial cheater. Well publicised on social media by his GF. No morals and a shitty human being.

    That last sentence is some statement for someone who didn't actually know him. All because of someone telling tales behind his back and a grumpy ex bird on social media?

    Imagine if we're now only signing players that have never cheated on a girlfriend? "Mr Giggs, I'm sorry but you don't fit in with the morality code at the club, there's no way we could offer you a contact. And please could you pass the message on to Mr Lampard on the way out". :joy::joy::poop:

    Due to his age, we merely need to offer him marginally better terms. If he decides to move elsewhere, we’ll be due compensation.

    I thought compo was only due to clubs for players 23 and under? Wood turns 25 in July.

    We’d be foolish to let it get to that stage if he is keen to sign.

    I meant I think it’s eligible for any player 24 or under and not 23?

    Luke Steele former Notts Forest goalkeeper begging for offers from clubs. He's now 36 but could be good back up for the rest of the season whilst O'Donnell's out injured.

    Looking at the EFL Rules page it looks like it's up to 24, so 23 and under. There's a boat load of sections that mention compensation for players, but this seems to be the one. Looks like all the contractual compo rules go to 'normal' once a player turns 24.

    https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/section-6---players/
    70.1 A Player aged 24 years or over as at 30 June is entitled (subject to Regulation 43 to sign for any Club of his choice without restriction on the expiry of his contract on or after that date without payment of any Compensation Fee.

    Wood is one of the bigger earners, he’s unlikely to be getting a better deal than his current one from any league two clubs.

    Is he the guy in goal for Northampton when we won 3-0 at Wembley?
