I think we need to wake up a little. Burton a bad career move with nothing going for them? They’ve been far more successful than we have over the last ten years and were in the championship not long ago.

It hurts to say it, but right now they’re a fair bit ahead of us, unfortunately.

Quoted from Mikey_345
Holloway says club think they have a very strong legal case. Having listened to Him I’m now of the opinion if Vernam wants to go then go, Holloway obviously wants to put players in our shirt that want to play for it......


Knowing none of the facts, I'm inclined to agree. He has only been out of contract for a few days. Sounds like they made up their mind before he was out of contract and have agreed to sign for another club when we still had the option available.

I'm not sure how much of a loss it is. He was phenomenal for a few games, then became Roy of the Rovers and tried to do the same things every time he got the ball, often wasting good opportunities. He was injury prone, but clearly had something and was unplayable when he was on song. Shame to see him go, but hopefully we get somebody who can do something for a full season

He's a lower league pro footballer-one of the least safe occupations in sport thanks to Covid-19 who has the chance to better himself. I cannot find it in my heart to criticise him for it. I bet Hess wishes he was in Vernam's position...

Burton Albion apparently.


As long as it’s not Lincoln it is what it is. Considering we have no idea when we’ll get playing again and thus earn any income then I completely understand why we’re not making signings.

Before I condemn the club, player or any individual I think I’d prefer to understand the facts, if we ever will.

As for what IH says as much as I love him and think he’s just what we need he sometimes talks in riddles.

They’ll be a simple parameter to lower league transfers for a good while - get higher earners out and bring in people who we can pay less.

Exactly, using the EFL as an excuse sounds a bit of a cop out to me, i am sure we would have offered the extension without hesitation normally but with income being tight and future revenue stream unknown i imagine the club took a business decision and decided not to offer an extension for now until there was a clearer  picture to avoid paying out unnecessarily.

Way too early to say whether or not this is a good or bad thing for us overall, football WILL be completely different to what we knew so one player walking away from us could lead to others players walking in under very similar circumstances.

That particular formula often results in relegation.

Yes but nearly every team in the League will have the same problems.  But we would all love to think that the Ollie influence could bring some class players to the team.

Not every team can be relegated!
