    Signing someone you have no intention of playing sounds fairly stupid to me.

    He already has been playing, with the development squad. Can't see any harm with giving him a year to prove himself.

    Well done James, not reason not to sign him.

    He has probably signed him so that he develops and maybe gets a career in League 1/2. I think Nigel was more thinking as a parent then a football manager.

    Sort of like Steve Bruce did with Alex

    I have actually wondered if there's a clause in Alex Bruce's contract that says if his dad goes, then he goes.

    For the record, I think no manager should ever sign his own son.

    Especially when the son is nothing special. Either they need to be very good player or stay well clear. You would have been best of sticking clear of Alex Bruce like we probably are with James Pearson

    Yes but the difference is, is that Bruce is playing his son and Alex is playing very,very well.
