I think your wrong to compare Davies' actions with those of Deggy re Carlisle and Moysie re us.
Derek Shaw / Simmo were up front about the Carlisle staff they wanted, went throught he appropriate channels and paid an agreed amount of compensation. The same was true of Everton as far as I'm aware,.
Derby County and Davies did not formally ask to take our people, most of them took 3 weeks paid holiday at the expense of our club and then left after one days training. Others, from the academy, 'appear' to have told lies to leave the club and then turned up next day at Derby. If fact someone said that he turned up in time to catch the flight for Derbys pre season tour.
I believe that Davies is fundamentally insecure in that he believes that having stumbled upon a successful team he has an inability to build another one. Hence his need to take every man jack of them. Has anyone ever heard of a similar thing happening? SEVEN backroom staff? Balderstone ?
No Alby, by all means point out that this stuff happens, that staff follow managers, but not on this scale and not in this way. And don't suggest that it was the same as what we did !
