I’m optimistic we’ll keep him, and we’ve given ourselves the best opportunity of keeping him (and other key players) at the club.
There’s a buzz around the club and with a good young side, which is presumably fearless given the bottle they had in the playoffs... We could possibly do well in L1. All the promoted teams from last season did well, only Donny were in the bottom half, whilst Plymouth and Portsmouth narrowly missed on playoffs themselves!
Again, we need add the right pieces to the squad and increase depth because I think we’d have struggled a bit more with the injuries we had this season if we were in L1.
The amount of money we get from flogging Bayliss.
I think a bid from Derby might be to much of a pull on Tom Bayliss, as I said yesterday we seen how Ben Stevenson mind wasn’t in it anymore and was a shadow of the player we seen.
I think 2.5 Million and add ons is a fair leverage to both us and Derby.
Don’t get me wrong I’d love him to stay but what Derby can offer with the exciting appointment of lampard for them and he won’t be far off being in there match day squad in a few months adjustment

bangs head against desk
Are you going to spend all summer believing every single internet rumour?
Plus while Bayliss is promising he's npot yet or likely to be soon anywhere near as good as they already have
Everything you say is true but id still be amazed if we keep hold of him. Very happy to be proved wrong though of course.I don’t see any sense in him leaving, he’s in a promotion winning team with a reasonable chance of the club making good progress next season.
George Thomas left too early and IMO It would have been more beneficial for him to have stayed at the club for a couple more seasons. Maddison has made amazing progress and his decision to move has clearly paid off, could Bayliss do the same?

They had a firm offer rejected in January, are you gonna spend the whole summer living in a bubble? It’s not internet rumours.
The kids got a lot of talent, higher suitors are circulating.
While we can offer first team football they can all offer financial security for him to set himself up for life in a 4 year deal, that might be the swinger for him

The context is different though, Stevenson wasn’t getting first team football. Bayliss is getting first team football and is guaranteed to start in L1, so career-wise, unless Derby are going to offer first team football in the Championship, then it’s logical for him to stay one way or the other (be it a loan-back or we just don’t sell).
If his contract has been allegedly extended to 2020 (a poster said MR confirmed it in an interview). We gain a bit more leverage in any negotiations. Also, if we’re to sell him, and not even get a loan back, it goes against the rhetoric of ‘going for it [promotion]’ because we’ll need all our best players to perform well on a consistent, weekly basis to get anywhere near auto/playoffs.
Premiership teams will likely be waiting to see how he gets on L1 before making moves for him, so I think if he goes this season, it’ll be more likely to be in January.
I could be wrong, I’m just trying to be optimistic!
FFS Steve it is just a rumour, it was fucking Leicester yesterday and they are 1 league below us.
We got promoted this week mate so enjoy that and stop reacting to all the rumours mate.
I await you posting about his "move" to some other club in a couple days

Sush, don't talk sense people want to panic about something the saw someone else post online
You not seriously think that Derby are not interested ? If he’s not priced out of what they deem suitable to pay for a exciting talent he will likely go. That’s football.
I fear no one leaving this club this summer, as long as it’s early summer they depart.

There's a difference between looking at and buying mate
Chance for Bayliss to work with alampard would be difficult for the lad to turn down.
I’m resigned to Bayliss leaving this summer but do hope/think we can keep McNulty!
I think it comes down to one or the other unfortunately.
No point us keep having this same discussion as we are not going to agree on it. Bayliss is a stand out talent and we are a club that relies on players sales to keep us afloat. I cannot see that we have a chance in hell of keeping hold of him this summer. I would love you to be right and Bayliss to stay with Cov so if that should happen i will take your "i told you so" with good grace.Why? Evidence please or are you just going to spend the summer going on about us selling our best players
Given players coming back from Injury ,systems played etc, do we see Bayliss getting significant game time here next year?
I think he should but am doubtful on that.

FFS no more than you have any evidence he's going to stay. Its an opinion, just not the same as yours.So no evidence then, just enjoy getting promoted and stop derping about
I think he should be main right sided midfield player going into the season, Jones lost his place through injury and Bayliss stepped up and performed, in my eyes, the position is now bayliss' to lose.

You do know Jones can play on the left? The wingers will most likely be interchanging system if Bayliss and Jones play.
You lose the most dangerous part of his play on the left, cutting in a taking a shot. Shipley has done well enough to not lose his position either.
Which is why they’d swap around. Jones operates well on either wing, in 1-2 of our goals of the season he got an assist on the left. Same with Exeter (H) he forced an OG and got an assist from the left.
A fully fit Jodi Jones gets into that team comfortably. If it meant dropping Kelly to accommodate JJ, Bayliss and Shipley, so be it. Personally, I think the Kelly and Doyle partnership is crucial to our style of play because Kelly is a leadership figure (to a lesser extent to Doyle) and he presses and tackles well. On Monday, Kelly and Doyle were all over any loose ball or player in front of them and their work isn’t flashy, but effective and important to our style.
