No it's not, but that's not what Warne said is it. You seem to be arguing with yourself. 😄

I suppose we weren't in the Prem. 😄 My answer related to this point made earlier in the thread. As for who makes the decision about picking a player for the first team that is down to the manager isn't it?

You should know as you avoided answering my question. "...bringing through Academy players, you tell me, ay."

Do I disagree that Brown looks a good player, no.

And as I said, didn't the manager say he sees going out on loan to play 'men's football' as the first step.

About bringing through Academy players, you tell me, ay.

That was then, this is now. I think that there have been comments from Warne along the lines of needing to go out on loan and play mens football?

How many make a profit? Football has always been somewhere to spend too much money. Maybe let them spend what they like but somehow make 'the Club' secure from going under as an entity?

And it's not like they'd be picked for the first team without having gone on loan first to be kicked in the lower leagues?

Really like who?

"Derby County have signed Australia left-back Callum Elder on a three-year deal following his Hull City departure. The 28-year-old, who played more than 130 games for the Tigers in four years, will move to Pride Park when his Hull contract expires at the end of June."

If he achieves Championship stability in 4 years then Clowes would probably be happy. Whether he'll give him as long as Clough Jnr got, who knows. He had the Club stable didn't he? Perhaps it might be dependent on financial support and new input?

Massive. Everywhere we go.

Maybe they were still thinking he might be 2nd choice, it seemed that way when Vickers came in before getting injured?

Is it cheap in this country post-covid?

Somewhere hot, foreign and cheap (I'm hoping for holiday ideas here too! 😄 )...

Where do you want, and where do you reckon?
