    I don’t honestly know, non of us do tbh. I believe he allowed him to talk to Harrogate with the full knowledge that Clayton was his replacement?

    True none of us know. But if Clayton is brought in to be a starter then he isn't really a replacement for ubersub Sutton.

    I'll be honest I like Sutton despite his technical frailties and I think he'll be missed when we are trying to see games out, especially when the legs of the 2 slowest DMs in the league start to tire

    According to Weaver, the deal only happened because one of their loan players got recalled late in the day and they had to bring someone in quick. They contacted Sutton's agent and Levi was actually with him in his car - Levi at that point had offers from 2 other league 2 clubs on the table but once he found out about Harrogate's interest, they drove straight there. Weaver seemed to think the fact that Levi lives fairly local in Wetherby is what swung it in their favour.

    Exactly as I suggested on the day….It meant he wouldn’t have to move.

    Let’s face it though, NON of it would have transpired if MH hadn’t permitted it to happen .

    Not for me, I have been consistent in my opinion . I loved his heart , but that wasn’t sufficient to see him as a starter.. If we want promotion we need 18 “starters” .

    No it was Marc McNulty I believe the lad McCall brought in who did nothing with us but scored bucket loads at Coventry.

    No it wasn’t him Dave , someone post a video with the name. Not a well known player.
    Boy was it a great slam dunk. I don’t know why the ref didn’t give a pen , because let’s face it …Twas a foul.

    Listened to that earlier. Whilst it isn't ideal that he can't train every day, if it keeps him injury free and fit for match days then so be it.

    Ref. was right on the spot,and had a broad smile on his face.To be fair to Souter,he just got on with it.If that had happened today,you would get the whole team screaming at the ref.

    I believe Aston Villa allowed Paul McGrath to do similar to protect his knees.

    The concerning thing is that I'm sure their clubs all had top medical teams. We don't have a great record of managing injuries.

    He wasn’t too shabby Dave. Remember him at VP (that night?) He had a great game. He never gave us a sniff.
