Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we place him on the transfer list it's essentially an invitation that anyone can take him for nothing? That's how other retained lists seem to work...
Said it for years but an evening with Rob and Phil discussing BTS of footballing world would be a great event (providing its common knowledge in industry).
I wasn't aware that Rob Esteva and Phil Parkinson were experts on South Korean boy bands.
Should we be worried you know the name of a South Korean boy band?
You mean to tell me that The Retrobeats don't cover any of their songs, complete with the accompanying dance routines..?

The short termism of some posters on here is nuts. It’s not about which manager might get us a few more points in the next ten games. It’s about a manager who buys into what the club is doing and where it’s going. The club is on an upward trajectory and a run of 20 poor results with a few shockingly bad performances doesn’t change that. There have been a whole heap of extenuating circumstances. What we learn now is how good is Parky at turning round a disheartened dressing room? So far not great it he did it when he first arrived, albeit by clearing the decks and starting again so may not be so easy this summer depending on who is on long term deals.
For my money keep Parky is still in the no brainer category. You don’t make 5 year decisions of the back of two months experience and ignore the other three years!
In the short term just tell them to put there foot through it when it’s in our area. All 4 first half goals yesterday followed us having possession in our own box and making poor decisions on what to do with it. Don’t piss about back there clear the thing properly.
As I recall, he joined Alty from Morecambe in late November/early December 1976 at the same time that we signed Jeff Johnson from Hyde United.
The rumoured respective transfer fees back then were £1,500 for Webber and £500 for Johnson.
If I'm not mistaken, both players scored on their debut in a 4-1 defeat of Gainsborough Trinity in an NPL fixture at Moss Lane on Saturday, 4th December 1976.
I can't really pinpoint quite why such a player of Webber's proven pedigree didn't proceed to have a successful career with the Robins. Was he plagued by injuries? Can anyone out there enlighten me?!
The statistics in my possession record his Alty career (1976/77 & 1977/78 seasons) as comprising a total of 30 (+4 as sub) appearances in all competitions, during which he scored a tally of five goals.
Condolences to his family and friends.
I didn't make it to Tow Law Town, but I certainly recall the York game. I only had a t-shirt on (above the waist that day) and was subjected to a lengthy conversation with Yorkshire constabulary about whether i was under the influence of drugs (I wasn't) or alcohol (possibly).
I didn't find Ryhope that cold, but I am surprised no-one has mentioned our first visit to Cammell Laird which was a bit chilly
