He loves a Pen according to this 😂

It’s just a hunch and not aligned with what the club or manager has said. I just feel someone will come and test our resolve for him. Plays every game, very consistent, just called up for Scotland….

I don’t think we target players or clubs who do that. I don’t know for sure….just looking at the way our transfers seem to pan out.

Busy morning for Nicko..

Nicko saying Blackburn move for Dutch striker. 22 year old 6ft3 striker with 3 goals in 20 odd appearances last season.

Alan Nixon Blackburn Rovers are in talks to sign Dutch striker Milan Smit from Go Ahead Eagles.

No my point, maybe I wasn't clear enough is they have got rid of players he doesn't want Garnacho and Rashford. He wanted players like Cunha and they back him. I would give him till November but how many reset can you have

.

That's the stupid thing about it, added to the fact he's now put one of their best players out of position making him far less effective (Bruno) to accommodate them. No way he lasts till Christmas, he'll be extremely lucky to see Halloween in fact, unless they apply Chaddy logic and lie in their bed 🤣 Not ideal timing to be playing the twats up the road like, they'll fancy a draw at least against United now 😕

Hyam won’t be leaving this window

Never seen them before but now they're there constantly. Understand the need for revenue but highly irritating and as said new to me. Hope they go away.

Think he said Rovers bid is around 2/2.5m which appear to the higher. Im sure they are other offers out there

Where have you seen that? Or just a guess?

Its not like the players signed are specific to his system. In fact, theyd be probably better in a different system.

Surely even we wouldnt be stupid to allow Hyam, a crucial player to go. And then stick just with Miller who is a right back so will be also needed there, Carter who is made of glass, Wharton just back from very serious injury and then just McLoughlin.

Well we have got close recently with various models and with a little more backing could have made it (but then it would seem there is a gateaway to the Rao's that doesn't even ask for said backing). Looks like we are now all lined up (!) to try the method you say above. History does not make me confident.

100% the next few days will be the same agents firing names of their players out and journalists linking them to clubs who might need to fill that position

How much time do you give him? He has gained less points (28) than PL games he's been in charge for (29). Now you're saying the club have signed players he doesn't want, probably best all round if he left now.

Soumano isn't happening at £5m, not sure why he's desperately trying to push that it might. He was like this with Kapaudi, even carrying on for a good week after we had signed McLoughlin when it was clear he was the alternative. Didn't have a clue with Morishita, was still trying to push Afolayan was an option yesterday. As for Browne, they aren't signing a 30 year old for any kind of cash, and Sunderland will no doubt want ris of him permanently with who they have bought in.

Waiting to see if Hamrun Spartans draw Palace. First time ever a Maltese club has made it to European Group stages.

I believe he had an op in Switzerland, the deal was done when it was known the op was a success and he might be available after the international break.

Not really, it would make my wife very gloomy. What I was tryng to suggest is that the trinity are on to a good thing and can spin it either way. So, if we do well under the new model, then cost reduction justified. If we don't, then they have ready made excuses. I'm beginning to see JBiz's point (on another thread) re the conundrum of the best way to get rid of the Venkys.

I think a lot of people who work or have worked there until recently in both a football and non football capacity would agree. Don't think it's a coincidence either that a more corporate administration soulless approach has set in since that other Rao fella was stuck onto the board of directors.

Alan Browne will not be coming here, don't be silly.

The Browne link just seems like Nixon being mischievous. He's not as daft as he looks, he knows that would wind Preston fans up so he's thrown the grenade and ran. It gets people talking, it makes him relevant.....
