Rotherhams new manager

[Grumpy King of the West]

In this instance RUFC, and TS, are not in the wrong. In fact nobody is really in the wrong (perhaps Exeter jumping the gun yesterday morning with their tweet). The issue is that the goalkeeping coach that Taylor wants to bring with him is dual registered as a coach and a player with Exeter. If/when he leaves to join us Exeter lose a goalkeeper and, because the transfer window is shut, could struggle to bring in a replacement. With us he will only be a coach, not a player. So dispensation needs to be sought from the EFL to allow for an emergency signing in order to protect the integrity of the competition (league 1).

It's admin/red tape stuff. It has nothing at all to do with Wilder (although the timing was brilliant). It has nothing to do with agreeing wages, or compensation. Believe it or not, even RUFC can double Taylor's current wage (probably triple it) - and the compo we received from Derby was, shall we say, "healthy".

Yeah I saw the gk coach situation mentioned by an Exeter fan and assumed that was it. Was fun seeing all the theories though.

And I read somewhere £800k compensation from Derby but no idea if that’s right. Would seem about fair though without knowing the contract details.
