    Next summer we will take Owen Bailey and Luke Molyneux off them for nowt. The least we can do.

    He's contracted until 2028 and one of Town''s highest earners (allegedly). Have Donny had a sudden windfall?

    The reports seem to be he's come to an agreement with Huddersfield to leaves they've probably agreed a pay off which helps Doncaster to afford him

    They're sponsoring rcbantams posts next year.

    After every lucky 2-1 win it will automatically post "City were MBanq today".

    Donny have a very rich owner who I believe, intends to retire soon but wants the leave the club in a good position before he does.

    That could be true and I don’t wish any harm on anyone.
    It is clear that Huddersfield have suffered financially massively every which way possible . Transfer fee, wages . They must be paying most of his salary for him to move to Doncaster for the next couple of seasons , otherwise he could just do a Vidaine Oliver.?

    I doubt it VV much , they won’t have paid for him and they won’t be paying his massive wages for two years ….guess who will?

    Doubtful. If he was on £10k a week then Donny probably offering him £7k a week and Town just paid him off the £3k difference over 2 years (£300k). Donny get him for £0, Town save £700k in wages (remainder of contract after pay off) and May still gets his £1m in wages.

    Speculation and an example btw. All seems pretty reasonable and everyone happy.

    I’d read somewhere , probably Hudds forum or a podcast he was on £12-15k a week . Remember he came straight from Birmingham who were paying CC wages and transfer fees at the time ( Stansfield) . He won’t go on reduced wages , 100% gauranteed . I suspect Town have had to bite the bullet to get him off the books. Your example of the process is likely fair , bar the numbers.

    It's neither. It's the summer and everyone is entitled to holidays and some time off to recharge the batteries.

    He's a great player, I'd have taken him in s heart beat. He'd have also fitted into our system perfectly with his work rate and press.

    Not for me Dave, just read their forum , mixed opinions to be fair . A “lazy winker” to “there’s a player in there somewhere “. The consensus seems to be good riddance to “our top wage earner” .

    Well after the big reveal of the new home shirt at the FA Cup final, we have to go one better to reveal the away one & the new signings. So I'm fully expecting this to take place prior to the World Cup Final, with Charlie leading out a team of NFL Cheerleaders, resplendent in the new blue shirt inspired by the 1996 Diamond Seal one. You heard it here first.... ;)

    The problems at town (or at least what we saw last season) run deeper than one player and they've had several scapegoats like the lad who went on loan to Wigan and now perhaps May. They need to do a bit of a clear out and get a clear way of playing and some more appropriate players in if they want to go up.

    I wouldn't of minded us going for Joe Gardner from forest who was at Mansfield on loan last season. Can play on either flank and at 21 room to improve. Looks like he may be going to Falkirk though.
