Quoted from MrFisherman
The club took advice on Vernams contract extension from the EFL and they gave Town and because of that we lost Vernam


But what did "advice on his contract" actually mean? It's the first time that I've heard that a club asks the people who run the league about a players contract. The FA possibly, the PFA maybe, the lawyers definitely but the EFL? I'm not sure why unless the question was "how likely is it that this season will actually start"? As many of us suspect Runaway, Fenty and Day didn't expect this season to go ahead so they thought we can off load Chas with minimal immediate impact.

But that is the problem isn't it?

They should not need to be taking "advice" also known as what is the least we can get away with?

He was a valued employee, employed to play and enjoy his football with us. He was playing well, would have been a real asset but we aren't bothered about building the club or looking after its assets, all we are bothered about is the bottom line.

The same people on here hammering the board for Vernam was at the time defending the club to let Vernam go, I remember when Phillip Day come on the radio to explain it many fans were saying how it is the totally the correct decision and how the club is dealing with Covid really well.

I never thought that, it was sheer incompetence, that and the Covid clauses and furloughing groundsman and being last to come back to pre season. absolute incompetence.

As I remember it most people were unhappy with the board about Vernams departure, yes there were a few saying blah blah let's be prudent, but far from the majority. Don't think anything has changed in relation to Vernam specifically.

Exactly this, it was perfectly obvious the club was sleepwalking into a disaster and fans widely praised Day for his decisions so he carried on making them.

Utterly frustrating seeing the same names now saying it was a bad idea, wish they’d said that in the summer instead of shouting everyone down.

Vernam can do one. Isn’t he a local lad? If things aren’t going great at Burton he should be desperate to get back here and help save us

Scunny now irrelevant as they have broken clear of the relegation scrap.
We should hope they win every game v bottom half teams from now.

Well...with the club also claiming "they followed EFL guidance and advice " regards our Covid case handling ...for which we subsequently got fined for  , then I think it's safe to say that they have form when it comes to claiming the  EFL  advice was taken and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

It was, and always has been a purely financial decision. The EFL probably advised us that a contract is a contract and if the season was halted it would still stand as a contract to which we do know the club then inserted covid clauses which meant that any  contract to Vernam was a lesser offer thus failing to trigger the extension clause.
He therefore felt aggrieved enough to leave, bag himself a club higher up the pyramid, on a longer contract and probably on more cash.
It was always a gamble inserting those clauses and we know that our board very much hedge their bets when it comes to finances so they gambled on spending less in the hope the season wouldnt go through.  So far.....it looks like a losing gambit.
