Which posters? Maybe I've missed something then. All I saw was Tog say he had no inside info and Ted subsequently turn thst into fact. As I say... I still don't see it as being hugely relevant. He's gone... It's what comes next that counts. I think it's relevant in that it would show that the sale was really out of the club's hands. Re sources, the best source on here is Maynard Blue. He's called everything right from transfers to line-ups, injuries and other bits and bobs of info. After a couple of seasons of doing this with 100% accuracy he's gained the trust of many regular posters. There are certain other posters who pick up tidbits of info that can be relied on but Maynard is extremely solid, as is Tog.

For sale of stock you receive 2m OR take a chance Which is pretty impressive considering it used to be £50.

Let's not have any bleeding heart responses to this posting about the Board know Best Rhodes. Pilkington. Norwood Hunt Clayton Pelts now Coady Seven yes 7 players who would have us in the play off positions combined with the rest of our team. How can the average fan ever believe we can get out of this league other than by going down? FACT. It's simply impossible to build a good team when you sell all your best players Think this website is such doom and gloom at times and I know from experience how some seem to thrive and enjoy that environment. But really? Come on guys. We talking relagation before we've even kicked a ball this season? As pointed out Rhodes didn't want to be with us. Neither did Hunt. Both players thought they were better than Town. Norwood was great business as in my opinion we didn't miss him. Same could be said for Clayton. How do we know they'd all play well enough together to get us into play off position and under who? Chris Powell? All if and buts. I get a lot of grumblings over Coady going. I was a huge fan of his and rated him highly. But if we make a great deal of money from him and then maybe (?) bring in a decent loan or player to replace him I don't see what difference it will make to our over all season because let's face it it's a difficult league to get promoted from. Remember that. In my opinion. You're wasted on us lot... far too sensible.

Clubs with real ambition DO NOT keep selling their better players.
As usual, we are going into yet another Championship season on a "wing and a prayer" and no doubt we'll be flirting with relegation for most of it and hoping like hell that this is not the one, when our luck finally runs out.
Happy Days! Blaàaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

To the extent that it explains the decision making process then I buy that there is some relevance. But in real terms, I still think it's far from being the important point. If he had to go he had to go - the rest is merely noise. The most important bit by far is what comes next.

Coady's contract had a clause that was triggered by Wolves - FACT So give it a rest drama queens and trust in Dean. What does he have to do to earn it with some people?Take a leaf out of Steve Gibson's book at Boro.

If he had to go he had to go - the rest is merely noise. The most important bit by far is what comes next. I have a gut feeling, and forgive me for going out on a limb possibly, but I reckon there may be an element of him not being convinced he'd be a regular starter. 3 in midfield, Butterfield is a given, Hogg and Whitehead stake a place and then 4 into 3 doesn't go. Of course money speaks volumes and Wolves have ambition, 2 main factors, but I'm not convinced that wasn't in the back of his mind too. At the end of the day you don't want to be keeping players whose eyes are elsewhere anyway.

Still... its all academic.

How do we make Progress? 1. Increase attendances. 2. Get shut of players who don't want to play for the club. 3. Financially do what we can to counteract point 1 and keep our head above water. Not sure I can agree with all that. No.2 I think you should work to keep your best players at the club.... you give up on them once they are gone, not before.

Haha bullshit no one else will go Bullshit dogshit or horseshit doesnt matter because Wells will go, if this deal of Coady's is anything to go by every player can potentially go if the price is right ....Burnley want him they will get him Haha ok then ?

Doesn't stop it being full of morons.We're not morons - just realists, as opposed to being dreamers like the remainder. So the realists believe that we should keep all our best players, to do so we would have to offer them the same wage that another club would be willing go pay them or let them go on a free. The dreamers understand the way the club must operate financially and generally have a positive feeling to the way we do our buisness. Does that actually sound right to you? I bet theres a few posters in this thread that cant tie their own shoe laces.

Fact - Coady has gone. Whether there was a release clause, whether he wanted out etc etc is all a waste of time arguing over. Time to move on.

6 or 7 years ago we wouldn't have got £2million for our entire first XI. Just sold one guy for that price and we have a few better players than him in the squad already. How do we progress? Now I understand Let's all swap the BMW for a Lada Swap the semi for a caravan Swap the caravan for a Tent More to the point who the hell would want a BMW anyway? Higher your sights lad

I believe we are making progress, just think back to the first season back in the championship we could have been relegated so easily. Since then there has been a gradual improvement in the squad and looking at the team now I believe we will be able to compete at this level.
I was a little disappointed to see Coady leave as I think he had a lot of potential to be a very effective championship player. What is important now is to replace him with another young talent as soon as possible . I was upset to see Coady leave but I have to concede it was a great piece of business . I would like to see another C.B. and another midfielder signed and hopefully the rest of the squad will remain.

Now I understand Let's all swap the BMW for a Lada Swap the semi for a caravan Swap the caravan for a Tent [/quote Think you are missing an important fact, HTFC can only afford to buy Lada / caravan / tent. WWFC can afford to buy BMW / Semi / Caravan. However, because we have Dean Hoyle when we buy a Lada he keeps managing to sell it on for the price of a BMW and (slowly) we keep making progress and if your still unclear think back about 15 years when we were buying BMWs, great for a while but at what cost ? Dropping back into Div 4 and hours away from going into oblivion. It was always going to end in tears, no different to somebody on minimum wage (HTFC) looking at a big earner (WWFC), feeling jealous and taking a loan from Wonga or Sunny or Peachy etc etc at 1000, 1500 or 2000% to buy goodies from the same shops. I've been a TOWN fan for 40 years now and as a school kid I remember being upset when in the dark days of Div 4 in the 1970s we sold my then favourite and one of our best players, Kevin Johnson, for £10k to Halifax. We always have and always will sell players, it's fortunate that now when we sell Coady (who we could only buy in the first place thanks to Dean) we will replace him with the next one and so it continues. if any of that is still beyond some on here you could always wish for a new chairman, we've had so many really good ones as a club after all ( that's sarcasm if you're unsure) and maybe we can go back to Malvinas Kamara on a free to help sell season tickets.

He's gone... It's what comes next that counts. I can not see any justifiable reason, as to why anyone would want to fabricate a story about Conor Coady having a release clause in his contract I cannot see any justifiable reason why lots of things get fabricated that do. That said, I don't think I said it was fabricated. More that it was reported with a little more certainty each and every time until it slowly became fact. Do I really care? Not especially.
