If it is true that's quite eye opening in terms of transfer business. He's saying we had agreed to sell him to Bournemouth before he even signed for us. I think Mick was just trying to make a point to the lad? |  |

Just rubbish on a number of levels - Mings didn’t join Bournemouth until the 2015-16 season (2 years after Brown left us) for a start and Mings played left back here. Lovely story though |  |

I suspect Mick told him he could have followed the same path, but probably didn't mean it quite as literally as he took it. |  | |  |

Do you think it's true he was offered a deal at all? We weren't exactly flush in those days and if all he'd done was make one appearance and demonstrate questionable professionalism, it doesn't exactly sound like the sort of thing Mick would have thrown a three-year contract at. |  | |  |

I looked it up on our archive and I reported that he was expected to stay, which I assume was because I'd heard we'd offered or planned to offer terms to him. A three-year deal could work out as cheaper per season than a one or two-year deal so not beyond the realms of possibility, and he had been very highly rated. Having said that, Mick wasn't one to keep someone if they were a pain in the backside. That summer he got rid of JET and Chopra. |  | |  |

I’ve no idea why, but when you mentioned your archive, I pictured the filing cabinet from Hong King Phooey… https://nostalgiacentral.com/television/tv-by-decade/tv-shows-1970s/hong-kong-ph [Post edited 11 Apr 2022 12:59]
