NothernRam Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Fair enough. Never looks like he will be playing again. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucknall Ram Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Chris Riggott's contract with Derby County has been cancelled by mutual consent. With the season approaching the halfway stage, and after consideration from both parties, it has been amicably agreed to cancel the defender's one-year contract by mutual agreement from 1st January 2012. The 31-year-old re-joined the Rams in August 2011 after recovering from a long-term injury layoff. He featured on a handful of occasions for the reserves in the Central League Central Division, as well as the Reserve Cup and Derbyshire Senior Cup, but failed to register a first-team appearance in his second spell with the club. Riggott progressed through the youth system at Derby and made his debut for the first team in May 2000. He made 100 appearances Rams colours before departing for Middlesbrough in 2003. After a brief spell on loan at Stoke City and a short stint with Cardiff City last season, Riggott re-joined Derby in the summer. Chris leaves Derby County with everyone's best wishes for his future career. http://www.dcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10270~2553352,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rams1884 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Cant have been pay-per-play then. Wonder how much that cost us all in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake n Bake Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Poor Riggot. Hope a lower league club takes a gamble on him when he's fit again - if he gets fit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothernRam Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Cant have been pay-per-play then. Wonder how much that cost us all in all. The 31-year-old Derby-born defender signed a one-year deal based on appearances in August and said it would be a dream to run out in a Derby shirt at Pride Park again.

Rams1884 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 He must have been on some type of retainer too though. If not why cancel the contract instead of just letting it run its course.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saunders89 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 It was just a gamble that never paid off imo, we had Barker and Buxton with long term injuries, Nigel though if he could get him fit he'd be good cover that's all, he's a Derby lad through and through, it's a shame and no big deal.

ianm Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 You spoke to the player and he told you what he earns? It is common knowledge he was on a basic wage and if he had of played (which was never likely), he would have got a much bigger wage. I did point that out on these forums early season highlighting the wasted resources along with Kilbane (who will have cost us 200-250k for his loan spell) but many fell for this pay as you play illusion. Good luck to Chris in whatever he does in the future, a top lad by all accounts and before all the injuries one of the best players to ever come out of this city.

Gary Teale Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 You spoke to the player and he told you what he earns? Well as ive been his mate for 20odd years and I play football with his two brothers every week its not that difficult to be honest. Im not suprised its been cancelled, he has settled with a new partner and just had his first child, if he isnt going to play there is no point for either party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 This seems stupid to me. We haven't even waited half a season for his return. Surely we knew recoveries with players like this takes time? This is poor. This is just not good enough at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I assume is all just part of the clearing of the decks which is happening. (And will happen further in the summer.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Clough must have spent somewhere around £60k (?) hoping he’d get a very good and very experienced player on the cheap to act as cover. It was a gamble, and if Clough had a bit more in his kitty he’d probably have chosen differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
