More breaking news! Copps is getting off the bus!

[RobTheRover]

Gutting as it is that our longest serving player is leaving us (albeit on loan) we have to look at the bigger picture. And Dean isn't going to start wrecking the team if he doesn't have replacements lined up already. Expect a busy evening of activity,  and if it doesn't all get finalised tonight I'm sure we will see quality players coming in once the loan window reopens.

[Wellred]

Yes but if we were under budget with copps as we were told, does this now mean we can bring a few in and not just Copps replacement?

If he was on say 4/5k a week which is approx 240k a year should be able to give us more leeway to getting players in

You are way out mate.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Yes he's on more than that.

[DRFC MYERS]

I thought he was one of top earners at around 8-9k am I right by saying that?

[pubteam]

Yes he's on more than that.

How much do we reckon? I always thought Sharp was our highest paid player on £10k p/w, so surely it's less than that? 8k p/w?

[Wellred]

Considerably more !!

[Wellred]

between 7 and 9

I'm guessing (honest) but you won't be far wrong at that. Don't forget all footballers have very lucrative extras in their contracts too.

What I posted wasn't a rumour.

Just to add, you don't think transfers are handled in service stations do you?

[DonnyOsmond]

What you say comes from the CEO and a guy who works in the media department says he's still on the coach. This is getting a bit confusing. Both sources are believable.

Well don't you think that the VSC getting the news as it breaks is a good thing?

Yes, very often the first contact is made there

[DonnyOsmond]

Yeah, I wasn't moaning? I was just pointing out its confusing if two sources are saying different things.

[Mr1Croft]

Exactly he is the Press Officer, he might be under instruction to try and rubbish this story? The club might want to seal it up quick before anyone else comes in and give us enough time to find a replacement.

[RobTheRover]

Or the toilets,  a la McIndoe.

[Alan_Rovers]

Do the press even travel with the players?

[Mr1Croft]

Well as it is usually just Ahemd and Uttley, probably yes.

Probably not now that Willie has left our employment.

I'm sure back in 98 we had to get volunteers from them

It won't be that Lee, just that the deals are being done at the Keepmoat which is where I got my news from. People on the coach won't have the up to date info.

[dickos1]

So the deal is being done but coppinger is still travelling down? The press officer said he is sat with copps now in the service station??

Thanks s_m

To be honest I dont know why people are trying to doubt you when you have never told us wrong

[Katesby]

cops doesn't have to leave today, it's a loan deal

[DRFC MYERS]

cops doesn't have to leave today, it's a loan deal

That's a very good point  he can be sorted another day and get those players in ASAP!!!

[wilts rover]

By my reckoning, that just leaves Sulli as the last link to the Big Day Out at Wembley 

Martin Woods was an unused sub that day.

The BBC have also reported the Copps move, plus its been all over the Forest forums for the last few hours.

I checked that earlier when Mark said that and he wasn't, our unused subs were Ben Smith and Gareth Taylor.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Watch any video and you'll see him lining up with players in his grey tracky top and going up to collect his medal.

[wilts rover]

Yep, just checked and I make you right - make that, Martin Woods was an unused member of the squad that day...
