This has Small time Jeff written all over it. I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff drove him to Pride Park himself.
We only sent him on loan to Derby, but forgot about the deal ending......
I asked this question on the u18s/u23s thread last week.. didn’t get a response but unless you know friends or family, at that level decisions are made and you rightly don’t know as it’s young lads we’re talking about and it doesn’t need to be public
I have given you one like as a deposit and there will be another on completion.

Agreed. Also look at the amount of players s snapped up by the big clubs to never kick a ball and fall back through the leagues.There are a good number of top class PL players who were dropped by their academies as youth players and made it via other clubs picking them up. Some have gone on to have decent careers…
Rashford playing for City and Mbappe at Chelsea - these things nearly happened
Kylian Mbappe once had a trial at Premier League club Chelsea before he decided to join Monaco’s youth team. The 19-year-old decided the south of France instead of south west London was where…
It happens across football, other sports, and in other areas of business too. In the industry I worked in, I have friends who decided the company should pass on opportunities we had rights to develop, which other companies picked up and went on to earn billions developing. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t.
On a similar theme IBM must regret losing Bill Gates and allowing him to take his embryonic Windows software. Worst business decision ever?There are a good number of top class PL players who were dropped by their academies as youth players and made it via other clubs picking them up.

My shower started leaking this morning, that’s got Jeffs name all over it. I’m sending my imaginary season ticket back! I’ll not be part of this!!!!
Gerald Ratner?
I think that Derby have retained him “on loan” until the end of this season.
The imaginary season ticket is fast becoming a Mix staple along with the imaginary photos of Walsall's wife.
I did throw my raffle ticket book style season ticket during the hoddle season but it was last game of the season so it was a pretty rubbish demonstration really. I also completed two player of the season votes (one for long long departed Robbie Dennison who was my favourite player as a kid, the other was for “none of the ****ers”)
A reference to a particular poster on here....
Yep, to be fair Im not sure anyone was blaming the club, just genuine interest from myself and the OP I believe
That’s literally my view point. It was for me the worse period as a wolves fan just purely because the owners had give up, manager wasn’t bothered, players putting in average performances and a (understandably) bored fan base. It’s the closest I’ve ever been to packing it in.
I only ever miss games for genuine reasons and try and plan things round games. I vividly remember missing a midweek game towards the end of the season where I just couldn’t be bothered to rush back from work to drive up. Awful awful times.
Microsoft turnover according to latest figure for 12 months trading was $168 billion so a little more than Ratners but at a personal level for Gerald it could not have more damaging.
That never happened
LOL.
That's right. It was Bill Gates who refused IBM's offer as he saw the future of home computers and how he could license each one.
To which they replied, he retired years ago.......
they answer phone calls?
Not often! In fairness you may have been on hold from when Bully was playing!
You may well be right, my information came from a BBC business programme [radio] some time ago when Gates name cropped up and a journalist related the IBM story.
