Did we readily buy players that we shouldn't have? I am of course not suggesting such a thing Perhaps more that, in various circles it's understood the so and so works with so and so and so and so gets to do this deal. I'm not suggesting a conflict of interest or corruption in any way I think I was more going towards what at one point was a bonus in getting players in through a route Rush was well connected to had become limiting when other options might have been preferable. Not corrupt, but just some deals getting done a lot easier than others. I regret my original comments lend themselves to such an interpretation and I should have phrased them better.

Philmycock Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Is he hissssssstory? Has Darren Bent's extra year, obviously against GR's wishes, and the Rush/Wasserman connections got something to do with all this? It all seems related and timed with MM's interview about finally giving a manager a free hand in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby blood Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 So Mr Rush is going? About time for me, I know Mr Rowett and Mr Clough get on, so has Gary said something to Mel on this issue, for me Mr Rush was just full of spin, Gary to be in charge of playing matters and Mel to be in charge of finance, sounds like a simply and straight forward idea, one we should have adopted years ago in my option.

Mostyn6 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 It's Mel's right to remove whoever he wishes, but it he's reading this, then I'm sorry, but any blame for this season falls at HIS feet and his only. Unless mistaken, pretty sure every dismissal has been a Morris decision, and whilst Clement and McClaren (2nd coming) were Rush decisions, Pearson was Mel's decision. This season was scuppered by Mel's decision making, not Rush's. The bit Rush did got us out of the relegation fight, by getting McClaren back. We were a class act a few seasons ago, we are now embarrassing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we readily buy players that we shouldn't have? We have to be careful not to stray into speculation or say anything that could be construed as liable, but radioactive is correct in that agents from other companies were complaining earlier in the season that they didn't have the same level of access to the club as Wasserman has had. We also have Ayrton Wassall who apparently also works for Wasserman and a number of our youth players signed up to Wasserman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
