I didn’t see their playoff game. But the pitch didn’t stop us beating them! Norwood’s injury time winner arguably a big turning point in our promotion season.
Having a medical today ahead of a move to Peterborough, according to one journo.Chris Conn-Clarke would be a fantastic signing
I guess if someone has scored close to 20 goals in the NL and is in contract then those sorts of fees are out of our range these days.Having a medical today ahead of a move to Peterborough, according to one journo.
They will get him on a long contract, be interesting to see how he gets on with the step up.Having a medical today ahead of a move to Peterborough, according to one journo.
Also a 3 year deal with an option on a 4th! Big commitment that. Portsmouth and Ipswich also supposedly interestedFee rumoured to be around £350k!
Yes, interesting to see how he does. Posh have a good record of getting value from non league but this looks a bit more than just a punt.
I remember Danny Lloyd going from Stockport to Posh albeit on a free i think he jumped at up at least two divisions.Fee rumoured to be around £350k!

He is the Director of Football there.Pretty sure it was Barry Fry’s arrival at Posh that got them seriously scouting and recruiting from non league, quite a few years ago now. He knows that scene inside out. Think he’s still involved with the club too.
They’ve had a couple of fairly short-lived spells in the Championship alongside longer periods in L1. Certainly a lot better than Rovers recently and I don't disagree with your broader point about it being a relative success. Do wonder if someone other than Ferguson managing could make more of the present set-up though.I don’t know, it could be argued that being a yo-yo club between Championship and L1 represents good progress under MacAnthony as, barring a brief flirtation with the second tier in the 90s, they’ve always been a lower division club.
Might even be their ceiling. I wouldn’t bet against them getting back into the Championship sooner than later, but consolidating and establishing themselves at Championship level looks a tall order these days with so many bigger and wealthier clubs in it. Certainly a much taller order than when we were last at that level.
I’d agree with that. He’s never particularly struck me as a top L1 manager, and certainly not a Championship manager-in-waiting.Do wonder if someone other than Ferguson managing could make more of the present set-up though.
