In league Express, Jones wants to leave as cannot settle due to the fact he lives in the north west... FC want a sizable transfer fee, wire interested..

Can’t settle, only about 60-70 miles away - could commute every day with the wage he will be on, stinks of a dodgy backhander this or is he jumping from a sinking ship.

With even Wire wanting a handout from the govt loan I would very much doubt they will be splashing money on signing anyone.

He’s only been commuting from the kitchen to the garden for the last six weeks!

Heard about the Josh Jones wanting to leave a couple of months ago from the Son of a former sponsor to Hull who is still in contact with AP who is actually quite open to his close contacts regarding the going ons within the club. Wants a big fee for his release otherwise it’s a no go.

Would any of the top teams have cap space?

Depends on how much Pearson/club needs the money. Our owner has been very vocal on how tough these times are, if he can get a high earner off the books (especially one who doesn't want to be here) then he will. Don't think it needs to be a huge fee.

To be honest it's a bit pathetic that he can't move to East Yorkshire or even West Yorkshire. We have overseas players moving their families 12,000 miles.

Can imagine that a sizeable transfer fee would be music to the (and any...) club's ears at the moment

Plus losing the liability of one of your biggest earners

So, months of negotiations to join, was moving to the area (or has moved), we've only played a handfull of matches since he joined.

All seems a little odd......

Can't beat a good rumour. Properly all bul

Too much press to be made up, be real shame, but if wants to go then id let him for the right fee.

If a deal can be agreed I'd let him go now and let someone pay his wages. I'd be looking at around 150k, I'd be tempted with 100k plus Livett.

Hasn’t he signed full time with the Dobbins or is it still a loan deal?

This may have surfaced a few months ago when some players apparently asked to leave because of the dire coaching? Maybe it is sorted and it’s old news?

Loan

oh well maybe not bul, shame that as i think hes a top player,

Difficult to tackle and can offload,the only thing he lacks is pace.
World class if he had the pace for a real running second row

I thought that was the overseas players. I could easily be wrong in that though.

Scott Taylor

still travelled to salford didnt he? got on with the job until he was free to join fc

So what? That doesn't invalidate my point. Anyway Taylor played out his two year contract for you.

have you ever known NSW to have a point?

NSW last seen scuttling off into the undergrowth.

Just sad I think, he would have been awesome in a normal season and with effective coaching, BUT we don't have either,

Can see the logic in letting him go, but this will weaken us & strengthen one of the true BIG clubs.

Just really hope this will be the end of it, would be gutted if other big names 'allowed' to walk. We will be back to where we were but with added issues of the flaming virus, no coach & many top players OOC. Really feel for AP as circumstances conspiring spectacularly against him, fingers crossed he can manoeuvre a way forward where the undoubted momentum created doesn't disappear.
