I wondered that but also wondered if it was more the relationship between him and cook I suspect cook has told him should they get the right offer they won?t stand in his way of moving up.
What pleases me is that Armando, his family and those representing him have put a value on his continued development at our club.
When I heard that he had got a new agent, my first reaction was here we go again. Therefore it's pleasing to see that Dobs hasn't been hawked around every other football club just to get a transfer elsewhere.
In the Kirks, thankfully we have two brothers who not only think like fans but have the resources and foresight to get things done.
Call me old fashioned but things like this help to restore my faith in football.

Not having that last bit, no one makes money out of football other than agents, players and those with corrupt influences.
From the highest influences in the game nothing of note for fans is considered, it?s all about power, ego and influence.
God I hate this league.

Well done to Dobs and all those involved at the club.
That's made my day. Brilliant news.

Same. Well chuffed.
His work rate, commitment and flair are outstanding qualities.
A new hope.

Will he be the only one who we are looking to offer a new contract to?
I?d be surprised if more than a couple, if indeed any of our end of season out of contract players are offered anything for next season.
Maybe I read too much into it but his interview to me after the wallsal defeat suggested there?s players cool doesn?t feel he can trust to carry out his instructions consistently
A new hope.

Think it is fair to say that the Kirk Brothers commitment can't be questioned.They have my appreciation for what they have/are doing for our club.Long may it continue.COYB

I'd bet diamonds on it.

Me too. No issue at all with that. Presumably he's had a decent pay-rise on the understanding he stays unless we decide to sell and/or we get an offer than meets a pre-agreed level.

Most notable, and in contrast to others in a similar situation, is Dobra's game actually improved following his change of agent.
Nor can we ignore the lad's relationship with the manager who nurtured him at Ipswich before bringing him here.
Cook, Dobra and a Kirk run Chesterfield FC are on an upward journey...
Never underestimate the stupidity of people

Pic on Facebook taken from the boardroom with Dobs, ash Kirk and two other blokes one of which, light coloured cardigan, I thought was Davies on first look. Having checked again I think it?s just someone with a passing resemblance for him!

Howard is the ex Barnsley midfielder.
I guess he must be Dobs agent
