He really was shite Bizarre signing. was exactly what we didn't want He wasn't, a bit of a champagne Charlie only with lambrini although I was at Luton last game of the season and he scored a hattrick I think! Football clubs are not normally renowned for their straight talking but Swindon Town appear to have summed him up nicely. Keith Scott"Scott was signed in a desperate attempt to give Swindon some firepower up front, after Fjørtoft's failure to score in the first half of the Premiership season in 1993/1994. A big targetman, Scott didn't bring a lot of pace to the side, and he always looked knackered." Also noticed that he literally had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus or I suppose on here should say more clubs than Tom Ince.

Think he got 1. Yep was at that as well. Pesch def scored and maybe Toddy, possibly Gleghorn. Yes pesch and toddy he got the winner beer is a great thing I'd of bet good money he got 3 turns out he only scored 3 goals in total for us. Think he got one the week before v Millwall but you'd be struggling after that. He was really odd. Would come into the player's lounge after the game and go and sit on his own in the corner. Certainly wasn't hassled by autograph hunters

Pesch nodded the ball pat their keeper late on to go round him and the lino flagged handball. Was a mad decision . Got quite naughty afterwards. I popped into an establishment for a quaff of cider and all hell broke loose. I didn't dare ask for Scampi Fries with it as way too dangerous. Think Bent cored for them in the replay.

You might want to save that post as a template, because I get the feeling you'll be saying this a lot this transfer window, which I think is the ultimate point here. We should be able to get a decent fee for one of the better midfielders in this league. The fact we can’t is shocking. I agree. We aren’t looking for the full £6 million, but we should have been able to get 2.5-3 for a player who is young enough, obviously performing where he is and has good resale value in the Championship, 12 months on a contract or not. At the very least, you’d hope we got a good loan fee, but we are probably paying them.

We loan out more players than Chelsea.
Does all this loaning out for amortisation reasons mean we potentially lose more money in the long run?

I don't really have a huge issue with loaning him out. We have way too many midfielders. Clucas, Powell, Allen, Cousins, Thompson, Oakley-Boothe, Woods, Etebo and Baodu; nine senior CMs under contract here, which is absurd. MON has said he wants to trim the squad and I'm pleased to see we're doing that
Doesn't really matter how good Woods is or isn't, or how good he might be under the right management. He is happy to be at Millwall and Rowett wants him, so let him go. Blunt reality of the situation is that we won't be finding many second division clubs who will be prepared to spend several millions of pounds on players in the current economic situation, so if Millwall are paying his wages that's fine.
The place to criticise the board is all the fees we spend on these sorts of players to begin with. I do think Woods is a tidy player and I'm sure he'd look decent in a forward-thinking system. But I also think second division-standard tidy little players who are decent in possession (but don't offer much dynamism in other areas) are a dime a dozen, which is why we are never going to recoup the inflated £6m we paid for him.

Lazy as in we can't force a club to buy him? 'Wreaks' ( I think you mean Reeks) of an agenda to me...another one. By acceptable see best and most sensible option in the current circumstances Lazy as in the transfer windown has been open a day and we've been fucked up the arse by another club taking the piss. Our bone hole is wide open for any club, rich or not, to sling one up us for the foreseeable, all down to our abysmal business over the past 3-4 years. The high levels of due diligence is all part of 'The Process'.

I'm pretty sure we signed Woods because Rowett wanted that type of mid fielder,and the "system" highlighted him as the best value. Then Clucus came available and we went all out to get him also,knowing he is twice the player.If Clucus had been available earlier we wouldn't of signed Woods.Our club were going all out for immediate promotion, cost almost irrelevant.Sadly we all know how that's turned out but I don't blame the board for trying to put things right.

No one can ever back this claim up with a reason though? He was backed to the hilt with a £50 million budget and we sold no one of any importance other than Shaqiri? Why was he so unhappy and wanting to quit before the season had barely begun?

Rumour has it he was on the receiving end of a slap off a senior player by greeting loan signing Ian Brightwell into the dressing room by saying “welcome to the worst club in the country” I think was a pre season game v Crewe. Think Scott scored and we won 2-0. He came in, sat on his own as far away from the rest of the players as he could which didn't go un-noticed and did that every game after. The one thing I remember about it the most was asking Toddy if he was ok as stood next to me at the bar and he went into an absolute rage about Macari who apparently hadn't turned up for the match. Was really sorry I spoke Was like a 5 minute tirade of abuse about him and hammering his beer bottle on the bar ...he made Hitler's speeches look like they lacked passion. I think he was supposed to have talks with him that day or something I can't remember but he did draw quite a lot of attention then stood at the bar alone with his head down for about 20 minutes. I kind of guessed using my detective skills that he was a bit unhappy and may move on.

That story can't be true can it?
I mean, fancy watching a manager like Gary Rowett walk out on you, before you panic and ring him whilst he's on his way home down the A50, and talking him back into the job by telling him you're paying 6M for Ryan Woods.
This is a professional football club here, not Fred Carno's circus!
