I noticed a Derby fan on their forum saying people weren’t complaining about the Pozzos etc x years ago when we made dodgy signings or sacked managers as it was working then .

But now it’s not successful they cry foul .

Derby fans know what happens when owners hire ex star footballers because they are a name and let them spend over budget and then fail

Jebbsion playing for Bournemouth tonight .

I presume it was the only way we could get him by allowing them to play him ?
 
Well maybe it will still happen but if they wanted him loaned out then why play him? Doesn't make much sense to me.
 
Paying 5 million for him was a sham in the first place tbh!

I suspect if we were a big club or in the PL we'd be in trouble more.

This is common practice now, how many times do Prem Clubs buy a lower league player and loan him back for the season or loan out to another lower league club

Man City own several teams in Europe and do the same thing openly and no-one questions it because Man City own the Premier League and several of the referees

Ai, but between two clubs with the same ownership? I guess it is somewhat common.

Also, what was the fee? Bet it was overly inflated. Just like the Kamara deal. That is the book cooking part.

Wrong really, it'll come back to bite us.

They did investigate that but nothing happened.

I mean the authorities seem happy to let us swap players - just not loan a whole load .
