    That is correct. Very well respected in the club too.

    Any news on Stewart he looked happy enough on the training pics but seems to have gone quiet on a new contract

    Derby have a lot of work to do this summer but they still should be very competitive in L1 next year. A few decent signings today…

    I was speaking to a scout at a European club the other day and he was saying that transfers across Europe are taken so much longer to get done this summer compared to previous years

    I wasn’t convinced when he signed, thought he was poor and out of his depth. He proved me wrong and I was over the moon for the kid because he’s a really good pro and a good character. I think the championship will be a step too far for him. If I was Derby or Shef Wed I would be trying to get him in

    Anyone who believes playing for Luton is a more ambitious than a club like us doesn’t deserve to be here.

    Agreed, I dont think he is good enough to step up with us. I hope he gets sold but goes to a good team in League 1 as he seems a great lad

    Agreed. Rather than a negative, you could see our location as a way of filtering out lack of ambition.

    Big difference between Ipswich last year and Derby this year… Ipswich already had a sizeable squad, Derby don’t. They’re desperate for players to come in

    Was more meaning they just went for anyone, agree Derby are desperate for players through the door even just to stabilise, they need to make sure they get a squad of the right ones though or they will be in more financial bother when they try to get the right ones in.

    Having said that, Wigan were in admin (i think when they arrived in L1?) soon as they could also appeared to be going for everyone & it worked. That also highlighted how ****e of a job we made of getting out of L1 with those who had no clue until KLD came in.

    Still think Ross would have took us up if we hadnt messed on with that daft cup....i have a feeling letting the board know he wasnt interested & would be fielding kids to the end was not an option. I know we playes kids during great deal of run

    See Maguire is looking for a new club, Clockerty is having a chuckle at the Lincoln fans reactions on Twitter as we speak.

    There is a player I could never warm to. Had undoubted talent, but showed it once in a blue moon. Attitude issues in my opinion. I wonder how many of his ex clubs remember him fondly?

    Scored 4 league goals for Lincoln last season, 3 of them against Lee Johnson to prove a point.

    When he has fire in his belly, he’s handy at league one level. However he clearly could not be arsed the other 45 games of the season and did feck all.

    So sad. In his pomp he had ability in abundance. Probably good enough for a top championship club. But he’d have to play 8 out of 10 at that ability level. He played 1 in 20!! If that. Sad waste of talent. Not missed at all by anyone other than my parents!!

    Did'nt go down too well on here a while back when I spoke up about "The King", as it seemed to fire the t**t up, and he scored 3 in the next game, Deja Vu <laugh>.
