Sheffield United are under a transfer embargo.
If we've decided that Ethan is a saleable asset,,we need him to go to a club that will pay now,,,not a deferred deal. |  | |  |

Looks like we might be p*ssed on again......why are there no other suitors for a very talented lad?
No doubt we are waiting on this deal to go through so we can buy another load of tossers to add to what we already have. |  | | |

At least we got Eastwood as a sweetener - he's totally turned our form around. |  |

It could be that he is trialing to see if they want him, and a deal may go through in the summer after an agreement of fee ect | | | |

"agreement of fee ect"
It wouldn't come as a shock |  |

If that's the case then he should be on trial in the summer, not when we're fighting relegation without one of our best players. | | | |

Agree but it could be that they want first dibs on him and are looking at him early, or if they sign him with deferred payment he is loaned back until end of season [Post edited 26 Jan 2023 13:53]

loaned back having missed a whole bunch of games for us, many of them against our relegation rivals?
And what does first dibs do for the prospective transfer fee….we need an open competition fot the lad. Not preferred bidder statement for one team. | | | |

In Bentley’s interview he spoke about what a good opportunity it was for Brierley, but what exactly are we getting out of having a potential first team player at another club? |  |

No comment on how long this trial has been taking place for either. What date did the trial start? How many first team games against our relegation rivals has he missed as a result of this trial? Why is he even on trial surely Sheff U have an excellent scouting network?
I’m sorry but this is one of the strangest things I’ve ever known. A first team player being whored out on trial, whilst under contract for an additional 18 months, in the midst of a run of games against relegation rivals. Played 8, lost 5, drawn 2, won 1. Ludicrous. | | | |

Couldn't agree more. We're (supposedly) a professional club with a contracted player and having our pants pulled down with this. If they want him, scout him and then make a bid. We can't afford to have one of our better players missing at a crucial time.
It's also frustrating that it's taken this coming out via a journalist on twitter for it to be mentioned to fans via Bentley's interview. |  | | |

Sheff Utd should be told that Dale want him on match days unless a club signs him....
Simple as that as he is Dale player after all.... |  |

Not that we’ll ever know, but the agent’s role here will be interesting. He will be keen to maximise the return for himself on a client sale whilst a L2 rather than NL player. However the lad is under contract at Dale. Is he being held hostage or will Dale see some hard cash? Rather than the return if an injured ex-triallist rejoining a dispirited bunch? |  | | |

It does make you wonder just who is pulling the strings like we all know and keep on saying he is a Dale player and a damn good one who is needed.... | |

I have just read an interview by one of the Yorkshire papers with the Sheffield United Manager. He confirms that he has Ethan with them on trial and had a lad from Chesterfield too. He is keen to recruit but the club is under an EFL transfer embargo as they have failed to pay previous transfer fees to other clubs.
So we seem to have a young creative midfielder away on trial at a club that can't bid for him, and even if they did, there is no guarantee that we would get paid upfront or as expected. And if we are playing Eastwood as part of the deal then it is even more shocking given his poor quality and kicking. We are fighting a relegation battle FFS [Post edited 29 Jan 2023 9:18]

The latest EBG interview would suggest that the loan signing of Eastwood is precisely that.....surely there must be a clause in the loan deal whereas Eastwood has to play......beggars belief!! :( | | | |

When Bentley is asked about Brierley in interviews he goes into "its a great opportunity for the lad" mode. I am sure it is and I attach no blame whatsoever on the lad for pursuing it. However the fact is that given our present position it is outrageous that another club has the use of his services when it should be all hands to the pumps here. We are talking about the clubs league future here . Frankly one players career prospects, however likeable the lad is, set against that, is or should be, irrelevant. The only gloss I can put on it is that it was a desperate throw of the dice to gain funds for January recruitment and an embargo has put paid to that.
However I ask myself, why the initial secrecy surrounding his decamping to Sheffield and if no funds are forthcoming, why is he still there?
We might or might not owe our survival as a club to the present board, time will tell, but with the available facts we have, it appears, they sure as hell don,t understand the average football fans thought processes. Football is tribal, we are not a charity. Charity case maybe but try pleading that in the world of football.
Another example being this multi club ownership path. I would sooner be in the National League North and independant, than as a feeder club in any league being told which players we have to sign and when and if we can play them. Thin end of the wedge and I am concerned as to where this board is taking us. | | | |

I agreed with about 3/4 of your post until you got to the multi club ownership model.
There is such limited information about that presently it would be ridiculous to shut it down.
Wild example but imagine if say Borrusia Dortmund were interested in investing in an English club. Pumped money in to us, developed a training complex and everything else. Loaned us exciting European top talent to blood them in a physical mens environment.
Also the fact that your owned by a successful, corporate, football beast. That knows exactly what is required. Rather than an individual who potentially may have limited experience of football and could run the risk of overstepping the mark or get bored with his investment after a couple of seasons of mediocrity.
You’d rather us be in National League North than that? Maybe this sort of thing might actually interest the public in Rochdale also, because god knows we’ve tried all sorts in the past which hasn’t interested them.
I’ve watched a lot of non-league football and it’s not something I want to do with Rochdale. If you think the standards bad now, you’ve no idea how bad it will get. | | | |

Fully understand the attractions you describe and agree about the individual owner downside (you only have to look to Boundary Park) but no the scenario you describe is not for me. The proposition you outline I am sure would be an easy sell but personally give me free and independant.
Having spent the odd afternoon over at Ramsbottom I wholeheartedly agree that non league is not for the purist. On the plus side your coffee comes in a ceramic cup!!!! | | | |

Sounds great on the surface but what happens with our academy in those circumstances?
Fine if they want to invest in training facilities etc but surely we would want to use the new wealth to continue and improve producing local/ish talent, rather than baby sitting 17/18 year olds that may "learn their trade" here then a few years down the line score the winner in a WC semi-final shoot out!
Extreme example I know. Maybe somewhere in-between could work but I remain cautious until much more is known. | |
