    Be interesting what we do if we fail to land any of our midfield targets.
    We’ve already signed one.

    Am sure if Dobbo was really keen to come back and Jones was really keen to have him then it would happen.

    If it doesn’t then one of those must not be true and we move on.

    My source said Dobson would love to come back but realises he offers nothing that Connor Coventry can't do much better as a player and that Connor is also a much better human being.

    So George has turned down our improved offer and is heading for pastures new.

    I find it hard to believe that the Hungarians have allowed this situation to unfold without “some kind” of compensation.
    If my suspicions are correct, there’s only one source this would come from…..namely us?
    As such that might have been done with an agreement from George to re-sign.
    I realise there’s a few “if’s and maybe’s” in my thought process…..does anyone think this might be the case?

    All depends on what was in his contract. As it's been said many times, they're not as sound a financial position as they thought they would be and have changed manager recently, so maybe Dobson has done them a favour here

    When I heard that the deal had collapsed, my immediate reaction was that he was coming back to us, no question. Mainly because of what Jones has said since January on the subject. I even thought that it may have been ongoing dialogue between us and Dobbo that made the deal collapse. When you think of the restructuring and Scott being demoted, it's almost like it was done to accommodate a Dobbo return.

    Oh well

    @Addick_8 - When you say he ain't coming back, are you 100% certain?
    Of course he’s not

    Probably living in cuckoo land, but maybe Dobbo gets announced with the new kit reveal? I dunno… 🤷 one can dream…

    By who? 
    Wasn't anyone in the club. 
    His wife?
    Bloke in the pet shop his wife buys food from for the tropical fish. Apparently.
    It was one of the pet shop boys 
    The plot thickens 

    It's a sin..............him not coming back.

    @Vjacheslav may not be aware of this new thread and may have something  he can share about Dobbo‘s likely next move (although he too may have to keep some things P&C)
  • Given the league situation he came into and the squad he had available at the time, I can absolutely understand NJ keeping Dobson around until the end of the season................ and what a great job he did for us too.
    Does he want him next year? We'll find out I guess.
    If he does go elsewhere I hope it all works out for him and his family........ and it will be interesting to see where it is.

    Think it would be a decent move for him. Probably they could at least match his wage too if money really was the issue and he'd get a fair  amount of playing time most likely.

    I seem to remember we turned down a bid from Wrexham last year? Likely continued their interest in Dobbo.

    George's agent is the ex Walsall player Darren Wrack. For interest if we are keen in Ted Bishop, they both have the same agent.

    For the bizarre move to Hungary alone George should sack Wrack.

    With Terry Taylor now fit and Fraser back from loan do we really need Dobson back?

    Once you've had Wrack, you never go back
