On paper mansfield have had the easiest ever christmas matches. Both at home against out of form grimsby and doncaster. We have had two away battles at barrow and on to bradford. Whilst we are having our toughest run of fixtures over Xmas/NY. If we are top 3 come end of January we’ll go up.

Bailey back to them much more likely now, as much as I hate to say it. Really hope we’ve got a deal signed already. Any deal for Bailey would surely have been sorted ages ago, I can’t imagine the manager would have that much of a say

Would a new manager force someone to stay who is out of contract in the Summer and wants away, turning down cash in the process. Not likely. Exactly, all Bailey has to say is “sorry boss there’s not a cat in hells chance I am signing a new contract in the summer and I’d rather be somewhere else now than wait 6 months” and his decision is made pretty easy. I still think Salford will try have us over the barrel on the fee but we will get the deal over the line on deadline day.

I don’t think it means Bailey going back is certain, but you’d have to be very optimistic to not accept that a change of manager makes it more likely. If their new appointment doesn’t take time to look at Bailey and look at where they are and consider whether a change in approach that makes use of him would improve their situation, then you’d have to ask questions of that new appointment.

Bailey is still their player, they are in freefall and would be in the bottom two if sutton and forrest green were not as poor as they are. They would lose a lot more being relegated than what they,ll ever get for bailey. If he did go back and shows no interest its not going to help him finding a new club in the summer as nobody will be that keen signing a player who has a bad attitude no matter what he can do on the pitch.

How much wood would Neil Wood chuck if Neil Wood could chuck wood? Sorry, too much chocolate the last couple of days. Need a little lie down in the dark.

I still think Salford will try have us over the barrel on the fee but we will get the deal over the line on deadline day. The rumour doing the rounds is that they have an option to extend it by a year. It's also the case on this year's FM which is usually pretty accurate with these things. Edit: This has just been confirmed by Sam Byrne on Twitter as well.

Ultimately it’s down to Odin though. He could force the move through if he was that way inclined.

But that £50k could become £100k if they've now got a player with 18 months left on his deal rather than 6.

Not saying he would, but plenty have done it before to force a move.

If you are purposely f*cking about in training to cause distribution and force a manager to let you move they won’t keep you for 18 months paying you week in week out. Just won’t happen. Ask Jon Parkin he goes on about when he did it incessantly . As it is I don’t think Odin is that type and some veiled threats from his agent might do the job. As much as a player doesn’t want to waste 12-18 months of his career, neither does a club want to pay one who has no interest. Players get paid up or moved on all the time in this scenario.
