It does all seem a bit fishy that rumours have been around so long. I can't remember who or where, but I was told around the end of last season that he'd already agreed with them.

Surely he could sign for us if he wished. If he has signed a contract with Huddersfield what can they do, the contract is not worth the paper its written on because it was signed when he still was under contract therfore if Huddersfield were to bring up the matter it would confirm that they had made an illegal approach and who knows maybe an illegal payment,

All hypothetical of course because Clubs don't make illegal approaches do they - well only us.

Right Ive had a cold shower as per TRB's instructions and have recovered from my doom and gloom mode, my new feelings are as follows....ehem...

1 if deal isnt done its up to JK,DB and the BOD if he plays, protecting whatever is best in our intrests at this point.
2. If he plays I really believe he will play well as his natural instinct is to try and win.
3. Sod Shudds.........never liked em....never will!
4. Pint please for Chissit for his demolition of their numptys on their board, respect mate!
5. Stuff every sod that thinks we will ever lie down or roll over, not going to happen, now, this year, or ever, were the club every sod belittles, but we are group of people big enough and strong enough, and smart enough, to come back and bite great big chunks out of your buttocks every single time! best fans, best forum, best spirit = best club!

See you on sunday boys, db or no db!!!

And you never know we may have Brough and cooke playing together gain, till the end of the season anyway

dont know, dont care mate, hope it happens but it aint gonna stop me getting drip wet through in the dump that is belle vue to find out!!!!

in in dunkirk mode, sod em all!!

go now you greedy sod and stop making our club look bloody stupid. plenty of boos for sunday

that me or broughy?????

Slightly contradicting

broughy.

no my dear ponner it isnt, im referring only to myself in this post, i had a downer ill admit but then i thought, hang on, perspective old bean, so i was apologising merely for my own loss of focus.

you seem to be one of the good ones on your forums, so respect for that, but booooooooooooooy have you got a couple of star numptys on there in giantjo and danril!

combined iq of less than a budgies weight in tons!

to be honest mopsey i thought it was me!!!!

Should have been too for some of my early posts one here!
sort of realised these days we are all fighting the same corner, you and others at grass roots level, me in another way which may, or may not become useful at some point, who knows?

You've mellowed with age haven't you Ponner?

Jeez!

I think I'll go and hae a cold shower as well!

Not very conducive.

Can some tell me if Mr (I didn't take the minibus, this time) Brough has gone yet? Here in Peterborough you tend not to get RL coverage and with there being so many people in the know on here I thought someone could answer my question

Apparantly not. Trinity wanted too much for Brough for the Farts liking, Huddersfield player involved in potential swap does want to come to Belle Vue. Stalemate.

At least that’s what I read into the various threads on this subject.

Exactly what i have been lead to believe.

What we should do IMO is let DB discuss terms with who ever he wants, on the basis he honors his contract with us, that way he/his agent can start the bidding war they want in order to get the big pay day they need, we have time to search for the replacement we want and other clubs wont upset their own dressing rooms by pushing players into transfers they don't want.

Everybody wins.

great for all 3 teams involved with the uncertainty

..is broughy going to perform to his best if he is still playing for us knowing there is more money elsewhere and we won't let him go because not enough money is on the table? do shudds need a half back for "other" reasons ? what about hull kr and cookie? and mid season tap up's? surely confuses me all this !

In Scotland and dont have time to read 25 pages but Brough is still a Wakey player Cooke still not signed JK not yet England coach


Is that about right

Seams a fairly accurate assesment of the current situation.

yes.

We really don't have time on our hands re getting a pay off for Danny,the pay off we get will be a simple equation i'd guess.Time left on Dannys contract ,8 months of 12 months (at the beginning of this season)so 2/3's left,X's a months pay,assuming he's on £90,000 that would equate to £60,000 we'd get for him,every month it stalls that will be reduced until we get to the end of his contract,he goes and we get no pay off!I'd say if we have to cash in then time is of the essence.
A bit long winded but we got there!

You have to factor in to that the value to us, regardless of contract money
and the potential value if we let other clubs bid for him too. That is why Hudds get to pay more to have first crack!
