Ex-Player Thread Stanley Mills

If ( and I hope doesn’t ) Mills goes I hope it’s not to PNE, ok they maybe a Championship club but they’re a big standard mid table at best club, I also have to say that’s the aspiration we should have aimed for in the championship once there then plan the next part of the journey ( and yes I hate the use of the word journey ) but that’s ambition alas at the money the hierarchy at our club don’t have any ambition.

Looking at the current Preston squad it actually looks like to pretty poor squad to me, only 21 players as well.

But there's a suggestion here that contracted professionals have acted, well... unprofessionally.

Which is a pretty serious accusation to make and requires more than hearsay and speculation to back up.

Not in football it isn’t, it’s pretty common behaviour even as far up as the premier league’s most expensive transfer in history last year. Shamefully, I will add.

At the moment it’s all optics but it doesn’t look great for a seemingly fit-to-train player is yet to play a minute of warm up football. I’m not seeing much that suggests he’s absolutely fine.

BDK had that operation due to the medical advice given to him and the long term risks he faced if he didn’t have it, that along with the pain then I think most players would have had the op.
As for ‘not wanting to play’, not once this summer has he refused to play or ‘downed tools’.

Where is he then?

I thought the embargo was in place because we had not provided proof that we had the readies to cover our proposed budget rather than for exceeding the allowable spend.

That implies that the club have drawn up and submitted figures that are below that redline 65% figure - would certainly fit with the "we don't need to sell anyone" noise.

Efl bight idea was you had to but in your money in upfront and double it for the pleasure from my understanding et didn't like that and just continued putting the money every month which the efl was absolutely happy with for the past 4 years while that hasn't cleared the short fall yet the mills money might just do it i dont know

Doubt if he is fully fit, who knows what goes on in training. My bet is he will be with us until Xmas at least. He has come back from injury and hasn’t played pre season . Think the last time he played was Leicester away so not sure who’s going to take a punt on him now. Maybe if he gets into our team and plays well he will attract interest in January

whitemans transfer was confirmed two days ago.
most likely changed burgzorg to a loan for the exact reason to target better players on a perm

How about being a proper Championship club and paying the f*****g right amount for him. If this was any big club, theyd have got him by now.

You’re stating your opinion as fact. You happen to be wrong but hey ho, that’s the beauty of the forum I guess 🫠

Now THAT'S a club that can overspend on all sorts of chaff.

Mills will do fine there - bob around in the Champ doing bits, before a few years in Hungary or Holland to finish up. Short stint selling Herbalife, some coaching at Rotherham, and then a lovely retirement.
 
Monday announcement? Hope not, but there you go.
 
Steve Gilbert said:
No Willy waving at all, I posted that BDK isn’t unhappy and hasn’t ’downed tools’. I’m not really bothered if people believe that or not, I just don’t agree that a player’s reputation gets tarnished by false accusations.

It isn’t looking good for you here, Steve. What’s the excuse this time?

It looks worse that he’s trained throughout, not better. He hasn’t played a minute yet and this today is still in the class of ‘semi competitive’ where I’d have thought showing some solidarity on the bench and giving us 10-15 mins if required is more than a fair expectation for a player that “isn’t unhappy”.

I don’t know who is shovelling s**t info your way but get them in the bin. This has all the hallmarks of a want-away player. It happens, we all expected him to go anyway, but the denial is extraordinary.

Well that’s Mills and BDK gone a decent starting line up but the bench in all for youngsters having a go but 5 on the bench, no more depth on our squad.
I wish Willis and Dusaan just f**k off

Mills was gone as soon as his Dad started liking Preston - would be funny if Preston were gazumped though lol

All this talk about how invested in the club he was - the only player who comes close to that is Cam - Mills is a pro and will play where is best for him

As will BDK - we will be lucky if its juat those 2 who go

But they are pro footballers who have to look after self interests - the true villains of this piece are the Board from top to bottom
