Plymouth are gash.
He'd probably make an impression there cos he is decent, but they would still be a poor side

They're better than us!

I?ll be honest, I?d never heard of him. How do you go from PE Teacher to where he is? Some thing that, fair play to him. Is he a Town fan?

I've played cricket against a Shuttleworth for Matlock i think it was but that could have been his brother.

He can sign one with a team outside of the English structure from
Jan 1st onwards. In terms of an English club I don?t think he can sign anything really binding as such he just can?t sign for us officially until his rovers contract expired.

Unless, we're the buying club in January.

Yes we can buy him in January but that wouldnt be a pre contract thing, pre contract would be ahead of him signing when his contract ended in the summer.

Pete packed his job in to be chief scout at Birmingham as he had been scouting for years as a hobby and got on from there and he is an Everton fan too

Never fall in love with loan players 😢

I agree with you there mate. We've had some cracking loan players over the years such as Sammy Clingan, Jamie McMaster, Thomas Hitzlsperger, Scott Griffiths and others and it's hurt to see them go back.
On the other side of things we've had some that you could never have fallen in love with and were only to pleased to see return to their parent clubs.
Some work out and some don't but like you say we should never fall in love with loan players.
I've learnt just to enjoy the good one's while we have them.

Two football clubs on the go - its a nightmare scenario.

Dilan has had about 4 below par performances in recent games,yesterday being one of them.we are lightweight compared to the team of giants we've come up against this season.I wish we'd get stuck in a bit harder instead of getting bullied off the ball,Naylor included. We are backtracking instead of

According to today's football league paper Markanday wants to go back to Blackburn and in his words "be a big player there". It does state that he is out of contract next summer so wether they recall him in January remains to be seen.

If that's accurate could it mean that he's proved what he can do and now wants to go back ?

Former Tottenham player sold for decent cash wants to get back to level 2. No surprise is it?

[SpireRam]

Good player is Markanday but Championship ready right now? No chance.
