He's playing in a crap team, the service to the forwards was non existent in the 1st half. Even Lionel Messi would look Shyte in our team.Personally I would have Jerry Yates in the starting 11, been saying it all season.Quote:

(The bloke sponsors players to the tune of £25k a season) confirmed what the girl had said. The players all knew them both and as I say, she said Blackstock was her partner's best mate. This took place no more than 5 yards away from us so I could hear all the banter. Didn't Blackstock originate from Oxford?Quote:

It should have been until the end of the season, with options on both sides, based upon performances and a relegation wage drop. A three year deal at that cost is suicide - especially for someone on the unwanted listQuote:

Well that sounds very true & genuine to me pete, TS & the board must be sanctioning such deals its embarrassing they could be so gullible to players agents, had their legs lifted big big time.
Breaks my heart to see my club used like this think we need a streetwise wheeler dealer to help broker deals & advise the board, not to scout or select players to buy.. think ronnie mostly[streetwise scouser] lol & brecks maybe involved might be good, perhaps they could be involved in coaching too alongside younger manager, dual roles as it were like club ambassadors.
Tell Blackstock straight , he aint part of the first team picture anymore and played his last game , he's also to train with the development lads and free to leave to join another club .
Even the most brassed faced footballer wouldn't want that at his age .

Time warp.....season start screwed up by NW saying yes / no / yes / no...Stubbs late start.....
Agents trying to rob us - mediocre players going for stupid money
Bradshaw - had him - several stories of cock-ups - out bid - AS saying not worth money ( I've heard price went to nearly £800k ??? )
Blackstock came for free....
I'm not protecting anyone but at the time of purchase it looked a good deal - still might.....but he needs to get down and dirty.....and show he's got some !
PS: Not a major fan of young Yates but he did some good stuff when he came on.... controlled aggression and a few tricks.....keep it up - train with Blackstock to show what youthful exuberance can do.
PS: Just seen Izzy set up Huddersfields first goal.....enjoyed him while it lasted
lolly set up payne for the first. izzy wasnt on the pitch when they scored the other 3
...heard yesterday that DB was starting his next job, he's now Henri Lansbury's agent..............
.......had some good advice watching his own agent setting his own deal up.....
