it's not my knowledge

I am just deducing from what has actually happened.

Presumably we tried to get more but couldn't find anyone interested in him. Given our negotiations re Snoddy and Fer we don't seem in a mood to let players go cheap, but your hands are tied if there isn't much interest...

Regardless of what I think (and I don't actually dislike Pilks) he doesn't seem highly rated in the football world in general for some reason...

- Pilks had a better record than Snoddy and the same time remaining on his contract (NCFC) - King, Aug 13, 15:17:02

        no-one else in the world of football seems to agree with you (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 13, 15:55:03
        
        Sort of agree with you, although your logic implies it's impossible to sell a player too (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 13, 16:00:38

  - can anyone actually remember the last time he had a good game? (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 13, 15:16:11
    - Yep, too inconsistent and prone to injury, we should (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Aug 13, 15:21:52
      - n't have sold him to Cardiff though, if we are serious about challenging for promotion. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Aug 13, 15:23:30
        
        he is inconsistent, but no more so than, for example, Hoolahan, Surman or Redmond (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Aug 13, 15:27:33
        
        So you're saying he was shit then? seriously,we have 2 young wingers who will only improve (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Aug 13, 16:24:43

        I wouldn't be too bothered if they went either (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 13, 15:31:28
        
        well if he's inconsistent and injury prone he probably won't help them much (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 13, 15:25:15
        
        if he is inconsistent and injury prone then we should have sold him to Cardiff, I think or (NCFC) - lovely old job, Aug 13, 15:25:09
    - can't really remember the last time any of our players had a good game (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Aug 13, 15:17:08
