    Bright and Robins

    It was even worse than that He went out to train wearing his jewellery on his very first day back Which is against the rules at virtually every club Those who knew him from his first stint said it was obvious he hadn't changed his attitude one iota

    U23's vs Barnsley

    I was told this by Karl Robinson when I was talking to him at an U23 game a few years back I think the stats refer to lads who've come through the Academy and become regulars in their U23 teams - like Johnny Ngandu for example

    U23's vs Barnsley

    Spurs did some research on U23 games during Tim Sherwood's time Apparently virtually no players who play more than 19 U23 games while in the eligible age group end up having a career as a pro footballer

    Bright and Robins

    It's the best thing for all concerned I'm not sure there are true mental health issues. I'd be the first to sympathise if there were Let's see what happens In India he was earning 3 times what he was with us but the club had to pull out of the league after losing their backer They have now...

    The company would still have to follow a process though Even more so with fixed term contracts

    Jones travelled so I guess we want more defensive options today?

    Bright and Robins

    From what I heard he was disruptive at Ryton and was told to train at the Higgs a few weeks back Don't know if he's actually been there since though Only the club management will know I guess

    Bright and Robins

    I really doubt there is tbh But only the club and Bright's agent will have full details Most agents wouldn't accept such a clause Clubs take a chance and rely on using Gross Misconduct if the player's behaviour is untenable

    Bright and Robins

    Footballer's contracts are completely different from employment contracts Cancelling a contract arbitrarily is very difficult indeed Richard Keogh won £2.3m when Derby tried it

    U23 Vs Swansea

    Good to see I guess the line up gives us a clue who will be on the bench at Hull With such a long journey it's unlikely anyone featuring in this game will travel to Hull Also good to see Josh Pask getting a game again Don't really know what his latest injury was Does anyone else have an idea?

    I had to smile at the thought of Robins picking any player for charitable reasons He's a ruthless bugger which is all part of why he's such a good manager Jones hasn't had many chances to get on because of the form and resilience of O'Hare, who has somehow stayed free of injury And the fact that...
