If mills is as good as some are saying we can’t of been the only one in for him. I’m not having that players suddenly want to play for us. We just offered another £500 a week than x club.

It sounds like he does a lot of work behind the scenes that goes unnoticed... Past history gives enough reasons to feel the way a lot of people, me included, do about BO. But kudos to him if he was the instigator of bringing Mills to the club. Let's see him do it a few more times and we'll have a decent squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone truly knows of shite BO has done for the club, please feel free to share it. Personally I don't know of any. Please don't all yell Lee Hughes, everyone did enough of that whilst he was bagging for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 A full-back will never get me massively giddy as a signing but this seems a genuinely great bit of business. Three POTS awards at a club in our quartet of the league last season isn’t to be sniffed at. Well done to all involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Let’s hope Zak kicks on, BP has been a bit of a graveyard for several promising full backs....Joe Mills, Wilfred Moimbe, Rob Hunt, Cameron Dummigan, and even Connor Brown all looked decent players when they first arrived.

At the time signing Lee Hughes was bad enough for the club but to follow that with trying to sign Ched Evans, was a PR disaster.

BP has also been a great stepping stone for some also who have had fantastic careers..... with every negative there is also a positive, unless we are only allowed to look at the most recent times.

Although I think that’s a nice cherry on the cake. Or when you’ve been offered the same money by two different clubs, but he prefers our location as you say. I don’t think though that he turned down a grand a week elsewhere to sign for us for 800 a week because he likes Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukers1 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Just out of interest, who signed Mills, would he have been a target for Scholes because the new manager and coach wouldn’t have heard of him?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukers1 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I get that but Baxter on his second visit was way past his best. Mills wins 3 player of the year awards so he can’t be that bad!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable when you consider Everton where prepared to help him out through his troubles and then give him a contract to start playing again. He gave an interview in one of the broadsheets thanking Bill Kenwright and stating he was now clean. Taking all that into account and his exciting play for us first time around, he was definitely worth the gamble. Just a shame it didn't work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 It would have worked, he played well under Scholes. Just, understandably, was not willing to take a 50% pay cut. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Why would we have to wait half a season again? Will he be serving another black hole space time affected ban during his month off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
