Robin wrote: ↑20 May 2022, 14:03 It's probably come from someone within the club rather than Duff himself, apparently compensation would be minimal (as it only covers his notice period).

I thought they had to pay up the whole contract? That would be even more of a kicker if it was only a month or 2

HamTown

When did the club make a statement? There's nothing on Twitter or the website. I have no reason at all to disbelieve JP, but all of the reporting on this has come from him and backed up by some local Barnsley journos. "Statement" was a bit strong but the journos are clearly being fed by i...

As far as I've seen Duff is the only one who hasn't made a statement about the approach, Barnsley and Cheltenham have

HamTown

Shorter end of season with World cup this year too

HamTown

Shame he hasn't signed that new contract already for the extra compensation

Sadly I think he'll go even if the location isn't ideal

All I saw was a tweet on Saturday from JP that said he was "set to sign."
Just sayin' like.....

Same. Looks like I might have jumped the gun on this one!

HamTown

Signs an extension

Overall pleased with that but I guess Rovers didn't come in for him

HamTown

Does he pay rent to live inside your head?

We can't be bitter about players leaving for more money

HamTown

I am disappointed to see Colkett go. Looked useful and different to what we have. Hardly a surprise though, only made a handful of appearances in his 3-4 months and was bloody awful in is last start (he wasn’t alone there, mind) when he should have been making a claim for a contract. Also if I reme...

HamTown

Really thought Sercombe was nailed on to be going but think it's wise to try and keep him

Shame to see Felix Miles go, with all these trials he's having wondering if he's got a little too ambitious and refused a contract offer

HamTown

Maybe I've unfairly got it cemented in my brain but I've felt more of our issues in defence have come to the left of CB (Pollock) and left of LCB (Boyle) rather than Raglan/Long's side - shame we don't have the stats to see it I'm hoping we'd be in with a good chance of getting Dan N'lundulu back ne...

HamTown

Surprised by that to be honest but congratulations nonetheless

Wonder if Duff would try and bring him back?

HamTown

Great goal by Sam Smith but positioning from Boyle non existent

HamTown

Can't see Barkers being offered a contract when we've got young alternatives already playing regular first team football (Bonds, Chapman, Colkett)

I wonder if we'll see any of Felix Miles beyond the whatever its called cup this season, he seems to have a bit of the x factor about him

HamTown

Squeaky bum time for them. I'll be cheering on Morecambe for sure

Scary in my eyes. Staying up next season will be just as hard as finishing mid table in my opinion

HamTown

Flare and a mini pitch invasion for a Bolton goal at the end of the season with nothing to play for, bizarre

HamTown

Shade wrote: ↑18 Apr 2022, 15:37 Anyone think Hutchinson is good enough back up for Ben Williams? I don't think he is, personally. League 2 player at best from what I have seen over the last couple of months.

With our budget maybe that is good enough. I've thought the same about Freestone

HamTown

Shade wrote: ↑18 Apr 2022, 15:30 Get Colkett off ffs. Absolutely nowhere near good enough today.

Looks pretty rusty, if this was his chance to earn a contract he'd have been better staying on the coach today

HamTown

Was worried about the midfield personnel and shape. Looks like it's going to be a long afternoon already

HamTown

By "free" I mean we'll be losing important players without getting a fee, sure they're loans but will need to be replaced regardless

HamTown

We will be losing our better players for free though so it very much could happen

HamTown

Sky bet has the top 4 odds of

Chris wilder 2/1
Wayne Rooney 2/1
Sam allardyce 5/1
Michael duff 16/1

If I was Burnley, duff would be the one for next season if in the championship but as foreign owners I expect them to go for a "name"

HamTown

Seems crazy to have such a low budget after some of those historic massive transfers:

Alf wrote: ↑09 Apr 2022, 20:07 Well balanced side we had out today. Excellent performance and result.

Missed the game but was pleased to see that starting 11 for the reason you say

HamTown

Whether Horlick has a grudge or not he raises good points. Anyone who watched the game on Saturday who thought the tactics and/or personnel were right must be bonkers

HamTown

Even if we sell for £750k our issue will be wages, we apparently don't pay more than £2000 a week in a league where the average player is on around £2400 and proven scorers are rumored to be earning double that. That’s why we have no interest in selling Alfie unless for big money (£2.5m+). We can’t...

HamTown

Think Charlie Brown and Dan N'lundulu may be a good partnership if they were to stay fit

HamTown

Bizarre to get a point

HamTown

Think getting Blair more involved would get us on the front foot

HamTown

Another game that shows Wright and Ramsey don't work together

HamTown

Alf wrote: ↑02 Apr 2022, 14:52 Not a big fan of Freestone, he’s always got an error in him.

Agreed. Can give him a bit of blame for both goals

HamTown

Fantastic finish from May

HamTown

Our left side of defence is looking very weak. Wright and Ramsey pretty quiet too. Evans positive though

HamTown

Motherwell didn't pay a transfer this season and the all time record for an Indian transfer is 200k so not even worth thinking about

I fear that we had to put in a lowish minimum fee release clause to make up for our lack of wage budget (this is based on nothing but a hunch)
