A winner leaving a sinking ship it seems. He joins a far bigger, more successful club, albeit in a much weaker league. His career will get the rewards it deserves. We wish him well.

Meanwhile we can only do loan deals when our midfield and defence seem to be in need of urgent restructuring.

Unfortunately I can remember when the future was bleaker than it is now, but that’s 45 years ago. DHW must be turning in his grave, let alone Peter.
