As football has developed, the MK Dons owner (don't remember his name right now) seems to be one of the top 10 best and cleanest owners in the EFL.
They need to drop the "Dons" part though.
Good luck to Tom.

Wouldn’t read too much into Rushworth not being in the squad today. We took 31 players so 7 including Rushworth, Igor, Adam Webster, Jack Hinshelwood and Mats Wieffer aren’t involved today. They probably all feature on Sunday.

We have several U21 GKs this season - perhaps they could rotate the no.3 GK position? After all, no.3 GK's aren't called on to actually play very often.

I went to Harrogate Town v MK Dons on Tuesday night. Was in the area and decided to tick off a ground. I obviously went in the home end (can't be supporting that MK lot). Anyway was delighted to see Tom play and he looked very assured. Very good with his feet and made a save or two as his side ran out 5-1 winners. It was 3-0 at half time and Harrogate rallied at the start of the second half to make it 3-1 and for 15-20 mins Tom did have to make some good saves. Was also good to see him come and claim one of the many long balls into the box.
He also took a lot of abuse from the small home end in the first half and it didn't bother him at all. Mostly it was directed at his possible hair loss. Cheap banter.

New two year contract. Announced at same time as new Pope. Coincidence? I think not.

Perhaps that's the deal - he signs a new contract, gets a pay rise, but we can get a fee if we sell him (which I would think is the likeliest outcome).
Aged 25 and never played above League 2 level. On the face of it seems strange that we want to offer him a new deal.

Club rate him highly as a training keeper. Likely he can earn more in that role at a PL club than dropping down the leagues. So If he’s happy with that and it’s setting him up provide for his family then it makes sense to continue with the deal for both sides.
Likely to travel to most games as part of the match day squad too as we always take 3 keepers just in case one gets injured in the warm up (admittedly Rushworth is being used in that role now Jason Steele is fit).
Agree, maybe happy to take on no 3 role.

I must admit, I find the whole "training goalkeeper" thing pretty weird. I'm not sure how or why it even became a thing. Why do clubs even NEED training goalkeepers (seemingly at every level)?
As far as I know clubs don't have "training central defenders", "training midfielders", "training right-backs".
Got to have at least 3 keepers in the squad though in case of injury - with the likelihood that one of them never gets to play and by default becomes the ‘training keeper’. Sure there are multiple occasions during normal training where one of the first two keepers isn’t available for example…….Defenders, midfielders etc can all play out of position.I must admit, I find the whole "training goalkeeper" thing pretty weird.
