I personally think it's the end for Raglan, and that Maguire has to go out on loan. Our reserve league standard is not pushing him enough.

I don't that is necessarily the case? Is Raglan, Evatt, Hird and A N Other too many CBs to have around the club. Maguire doesn't seem to be on the radar and who knows what Evatt will be like after a long layoff. Is he even clear of his injury, he says so but there have so many misdiagnosis of his injury I'd be cautious

Difference being all the Walsall players that have left have chosen to leave despite being offered new contracts rather than being flogged off with the Exception of Bradshaw and Henry.


And, what would we have been saying if our prized assets had walked away for nothing?

This is a team that made the play-offs, failed miserably, and subsequently lost half the team - only difference I see there compared to us, the previous season, is that their lot walked for next to nowt.

If any of our prized assets, such as Morsy, turned down a new contract offer it was the club's fault, the CEO's fault, Morsy really wanted to stay etc - but it's ok if it happens elsewhere such as Walsall!!!!!!

I can think of about 8 million reasons why Walsall are better ran than us.

Edit: But I tend to agree with your post.

Yes, AN Other would replace the CB we had on loan last season, unless he is returning and I've missed it.

Seems it could be Nathaniel Knight-Percival that Wilson was talking about when he said he wanted a left sided centre back..

A few tweets also suggesting that it's between ourselves and Southend -

Ryan Hillback ‏@RyanHillback 40m40 minutes ago Codsall, England
#Salop defender Knight-Percival looks likely to leave with #Southend and #Chesterfield leading the race

Chris Phillips ‏@CJPhillips1982 17h17 hours ago Basildon, East
Nathaniel Knight-Percival is one of the defenders Blues have talked to. Sounds like he could be going elsewhere. Chesterfield linked to him.

Signed for BRADFORD.

Hang on, now. Isn't the Walsall CEO the perfect type for CFC according to a number of contributors to this board?


Unless I'm mistaken Walsall have posted profits rather than losses despite seeing far lower receipts than Town, 'dtp'.

Indeed I'm led to believe they were used as a model by a well respected Town fan, merely seeking to assist CFC, to suggest to our CEO and Chairman how things might be improved at the Proact.

I'll leave 'Bob's Board' members to decide if the free advice offered was either understood or appreciated.

I don't know enough about the comparative costs/expenses associated with either club to comment on their profits/losses and to what extent these are down to either CEO, Chris.

What I do know, though, is that if half our "play-off team" had walked away for next to nothing at the end of their contracts there would have been plenty moaning about that very fact on these boards.

By the way, any clues about the potential new left-sided CB?

You can't force players to sign a new contract just like we couldn't force Morsy to. The difference is Walsall gambled on going up rather than cashing in in January in the hope that playing in the championship would have persuaded them to say. Their gamble backfired and they lost the, all for nothing. It happens. They lost whereas we cashed in on ours.

Did they turn down any realistic offers in January?

Just "one" then?

"One" for their leading scorer, over more than "one" season. An offer that would have been even further belittled if we had accepted such an amount for Doyle who, literally, had only done it for half a season.

And, in fact, we got to the play-offs having sold Doyle and picked up a better average number of points per game when he'd gone.

At the end of that season we sold, for good money Darikwa and Clucas, got a fee for Roberts, whilst Walsall's prized assets walked for nothing - I maintain we would have been even more disappointed if that had happened to us.

Just one for us as well in January, but we did the opposite, I wonder why?

I believe 'Freelander' posted comparative figures proving Walsall's superior finances some months ago, my friend.

And I understand the point you're making which, at face value, is a perfectly valid one.

However the simple truth is that the huge and, as yet, unexplained losses overseen by Turner despite record receipts led to an intention to sell, sell, and sell again on Dave Allen's part. Infact the only player to leave CFC having seen his contract expire was Jimmy Ryan. On the other hand it would seem Walsall hung on to their players in the hope of promotion. Would Town fans have welcomed a statement from the Chairman insisting we'd do the same? One last January stating we'd rather allow Sam Morsy to leave for free than jeopardise our L1 status, relegation costing far more than the two hundred grand realised?

I believe so.

EDIT: I'm told Bradford did us on wages in terms of this Knight-Percival bloke.

Couple of other snippets, too.

Apparently it's Billy Dearden who's been doing Danny Wilson's scouting, but he's off to Bolton to do the same job for them. It appears the treatment of Ernie and other well publicised off-field issues were a major factor in that decision.

There's also a story that Diego DeGirolamo is trialling at Bristol Rovers after Town's interest cooled.

With the signing of the Chelsea lad perhaps Diego isn't needed - IF Ariyibi is staying
