This always amazes me as they either came down by coach or they flew down whichever the coach came down from Blackburn or in our case go from Brighton why could they not put a couple of DS players on the coach just in case. It wouldnt cost anything other than another hotel room for board and...
Sorry I didnt put it very well but I know what I meant. That hada I been a casual scout just wtaching because of our offers I wouldnt have been impressed and gone out of my way to watch him again unless asked to by the manager. I thought that Murphy looked the part and was quite impressed...

Not for an interview but could influence his final choice of club, stay in his existing house or move down south spending a lot more money. Generally the drive from Manchester suburbs to Sheffield is very easy.
Depending obviously on where lives, presumably in the country and not in Blackburn he may not have to move house if he signs for Wednesday as the drive over Snakes Pass is quite good generally except when and if the snow comes.
