And we're off!
Stockton to Salford rumoured this morning.
Hopefully get a small 6 figure fee and reinvest?

That could be a good move for all parties. Despite their struggles last season they aren't short of a few quid and it gets him a move back up north.
I'd certainly hold out for a fee though, he is still an asset despite flopping for us. £50k.

The more we get the better, Salford have lost a few big earners looking at their retained list so squeeze as much out of them as possible. That would make me feel a little better about him being a complete flop if we get six figures out of him.

Id still be happy to try and build a squad around him. Its not very often we have a regular goal scorer on our books

But if he doesn't want to be here, then no point holding him captive. The bloke who reported the story seems to tout Stockton out about ten times every transfer window, so we'll see what happens with it

According twitter the move looks likely to happen sooner rather than later...
But I do question who authorises this whilst we await news of a new manager or confirmation of the current one!?

Absolutely - a new manager would probably love to have Cole Stockton playing up front for him. It's all very odd. Just like January - we appear to making the exact same mistake again. Unless MP has said he doesn't want him and MP is staying. Would Cole Stockton want to play in THAT side? No, I'd be off like a shot too.

To be honest in my head Cole Stockton isn't even a Burton player anymore and i've completely written him off. If we can get a fee great but either way get rid. He wouldn't want to play for us even if Jurgen Klopp was appointed tomorrow so let's just cut our losses.

Never worked out here for whatever reason, and couldn't wait to get out of the door in January. Very likely the highest paid player we have, and if not certainly right up there. Our return on the outlay has been absolutely zero, not completely his fault with the poor management/tactics but that's a broken record. Salford being interested certainly increases our chances of a fee.

The same source also reports a deal has been agreed for Stockton to leave now also…
Good luck to Joe, bet he is being paid twice what we could offer to be part of a League One super team at Rotherham, would be stupid to stay put with us
Starting to get a little impatient now, the ship is slowly sinking and nothing (as far as we are aware) is happening about it

I don't think we are being unreasonable. But, I think once resolved, we will have time to catch up.

That will be a huge loss in my opinion, always rated Joe, especially when played in his favoured role as a more attacking player rather than sat in front of his defence?

It gets better. Obviously Joe isn’t a world beater by any stretch but surely one of our best players. To see him leave on a free is poor considering we have to replace him anyway. Are we going to replace him with better? I can’t see it. Can’t blame Joe though.

It really does feel like the rest of the football world is going on with us looking in from the outside. It's starting to get embarrassing now. Whether we would have kept Stockton or Powell anyway I don't know but surely next seasons manager should be sitting this pair down(and others), discussing next season and what our playing vision for the future is and trying to persuade them to stay and be part of it. This might be the case but I somehow doubt it.
The period between May and August is absolutely vital for all clubs preparations and we must be the most inactive club in the whole of the EFL when we should be one of the most proactive given how the season finished. It really feels like the club don't care. I'm sure that's not the case but as a PR exercise this has been nothing short of a disaster. They haven't even put out an advert trying to encourage fans to buy season tickets(just old shirts like we are having some sort of closing down sale). Can't even pay for anything on card as the machines broke/being changed.
So much was wrong at the end of last season and it's continued into the summer period and for me is an absolute disgrace. The current ownership has done so much for this club in the past but for me if this is how they intend to run things going forward then they should sell up to somebody who wants to run a club at our level in a professional manner.

We feel like a run down old shop in the town centre, with barely any stock on the shelves, with people expecting the closing down signs going up with each passing day.

It’s embarrassing to be Burton Albion supporter,due to the lack of information and the apparent reluctance of the club,to appear to be bothered about anything. Season Tickets can anyone buy one today? Is Paterson going to stay on? Pre season will it be the usual farce of not being up to speed like the rest of League One! Nobody knows and certainly the supporters don’t have a clue what’s going on,let’s hope those in charge know what they are doing. Actually a serious question who is in charge at the moment?
