I miss that bloke.

Different aspirations at Barnsley. Hope he does really well. 

Play offs 2 season running they'll be expecting promotion. 

A big & important job in his career to date mate, struggled at times in league 1 as a manager so will be interesting to see how he does with a team going for & expecting promotion 👍🏻

Can't see them having as good a start as last season 🤣

Not going to lie, it’s quite a nice feeling us outmuscling clubs from a higher division. Just seems a good statement of intent and landing someone like Curtis won’t hurt in appealing to other potential signings now.

It's difficult to know whether we beat teams on wages, or matched them + the security of a 3 year deal.

I reckon Curtis will still have been living in and around Portsmouth whilst playing for Wimbledon, and had been there for a big chunk of time.

Not sure if he has a family or not, but can imagine as a lower league footballer, if you are moving house it might as well be for a decent chunk of time.

True, the main thing I’d take from it is DM and Matt Hancock weren’t lying when they talked about us being competitive at least. It’s a good sign things are changing for us post-Flitcroft I’d say.

I bet their fans are gutted.  Sad loss for them.

I bet they are.  It was credit to DC that they had a sniff of staying up late in the season after their start.

It'll be interesting to see him in a job where there is big expectation.

All the best to him, still love him.

Will be looking at the fixture list when it comes out and their opponents pre-season prep.

Has anyone else heard any more rumours about Dipo Akinyemi...??  My mate at Vale says we're making a strong interest in him.

Its only a rumour I've been told.

Oh we’ve heard mate 😆 he knows where the net is albeit in the lower divisions

Yes it was on here yesterday. York fans were getting their knickers in a twist but their chairman has seemingly rebuked it on social media. So who knows?

Got some attitude on him, aint he...??  Quite like that.

Looks like York City paid £300k for him less than a year ago
