One of the loanees is being signed.

Our biggest issue for some time has been lack of goals throughout the team. I am not convinced that Rogers has the composure to add very many.

Was having a decent season at Ipswich, but out injured since November.

Might be a good signing for someone at L1 level, his last contract was 2019 and is likely coming to an end either this season or next, so there could probably be some sort of agreement over wages, but I'm not sure that his injury record or attitude are right for us.
 
Why would we be offering contracts when we don’t have a manager. The new guy might be a total football Type who doesn’t want a lumbering centre half.
 
Bowler obviously isn’t coming back, Patino is unrealistic, so I’d take Poveda or Rogers - the rest I wouldn’t bother with

He would certainly be a huge help in getting us back to the Championship. Not going to happen of course.

We need muscle to get out of League One. Rotherham will attest to that

Would Plymouth attest to that? Rotherham is a particular type of team. What about us 2 years ago?
 
In other transfer news I've heard we're after a certain Irishman who may or may not play for Wigan.

I believe the signing will go down worse than the Appleton manager news.

Never thought about it before, but do clubs have insurance to cover injuries?

As far as I know, clubs themselves dont/can’t insure against injuries: it would be very difficult to unpick the liability between opposition players, coaching staff, the player themselves (everyone had accidents), and things like training and gym intensity. It it’s hard to blame it’s usually hard to insure.

The players, on the other hand, will almost certainly have sports professional insurance (Google it, it’s fascinating), which covers their own earnings, and looks after them if a career-ender happens in their work.

I always thought, or it used to be, insurance was for career ending injuries rather than run of the mill. I'm sure you could get insurance but the premiums would be horrendous.

I seem to recall we got a payout for Bobby Tynan, who played 10 mins for us pre-season at PNE. Career over after that. Think he was signed for over 100K

From the few sportspeople I know they also insure against things like loss of their appearance fees, or squad bonuses if they don’t hit the minimum number of games etc.

The Bobby Tynan one is new to me. I wonder if you can insure new signings as a backstop for missing something in their medical or similar. Of course you can insure against the sun rising in the morning if you’re willing to pay the premium! I guess for clubs it’s cost:benefit.
 
The was some kerfuffle recently as the national league tried to change the rules so that clubs were only liable to pay full wages for a short injury period - from memory, it was around 6 weeks. I can't recall how it turned out.

As of June 1, there is a 12 week sick pay period whereby a player is paid in full. After 12 weeks he goes onto SSP (Statutory Sick Pay) of £99.35 up to 28 weeks. Not sure after this period. Also basically if a player can't play for 4 months he can be sacked off.*
