    Surprise that.

    Tilt was terrible in the playoff game, but you don't axe players for one bad game.

    Age is against him, but pressure is on now for a top drawer signing given we should have money.

    Or it could be as simple Burton making an enquiry about his availability and the club/Tilt himself seeing it as an opportunity neither could turn down. We get a fee and the opportunity to upgrade a year earlier than anticipated, Tilt gets a new 2 year deal at nearly 35 years old. It's a no brainer.

    Just seen this. Interesting. Looks like we've learnt from letting Power go before securing his replacement.

    It sounded like Alexander didn't want him to go but he wanted to be closer to family.

    Question about Curtis Tilt - did you have inkling?

    Alexander: "Agent spoke to David three weeks ago, offer from another club, closer to home.

    "We know we've got someone who will be announced shortly to replace Tilty."

    It's McCracken I feel sorry for. He's got a hell of a commute.

    So similar to Max Power but Power was berated for it.

    He has lived away from his family for 12 years. I don’t blame him moving closer when he probably realised he was going to be automatically chosen

    Not the best defender in the world but I hear say he still has Yousef Salech in his back pocket.

    Bloody hell another wanting to leave for location issues. Are we being moved to Timbuktu next season and no one’s told us?

    Makes you laugh doesnt it. Both Tilt and Power happy to sign 2 year contracts last summer. You would assume they knew where Bradford was.

    There's knowing where Bradford is..... and then there's the experience of driving through it on a daily basis! I'd be asking for a move too :D

    And they were happy to do the travelling until a more attractive offer came in that gives them an extra 12 months income and closer to home.
