Any club merchandise sold at preseason matches?

Oh, the irony!

The control-freakery and paranoia at the club must be toxic. Makes you long for the days of Waggott. Things, as is being proved, can always get worse.

Fair enough. It’s pretty obvious what’s going on and I understand your reluctance to comment further.

Because it's not fact, or at least you don't know the truth. I doubt he tried to give Batth an new extension at the time he left.

If they don’t start well they’ll sack him and bring someone far better in. They won’t fuck about. As for their squad, they’ll be more than competitive when the season kicks off.

That’s why they are best judged at the end of this window but you are right of the season were to start this week o reckon they could struggle but I think they will do more business

Always thought djiksteele was a solid rb when I saw him , tbh I’d rather strengthen in more key areas like striker, right wing, don’t think it’s great to have rb as our best player. Need game changers

Agree to disagree...Just take a look at their squad...They may have money but they need to invest in it properly. They then need a decent manager...Phil Parkinson is not that man, you have to agree with me there...I don't think he lasts till Xmas...Then it will take more than Disney to employ the right man to take them forward.

Perhaps not, mismanagement up until now really weaken our hand. It was more about the choice of replacement. We have to find better than that which will involve paying a fee.

17 goals last season in League 2, looks quick on his YT highlights. More Ohashi than Gueye. 2 years left on his contract.

They need a whole need starting 11. If they bring a lot more players in then they have a chance, but their current squad and manager don't stand a chance.

Yawn

Ooer! Thanks for that delightful internal representation burned into my mind now.. 🤣 I couldn't care less about JE. I think he is a good manager, but I have no idea what he is like as a person. Same for VI - to be fair, certain Scottish historical figures apart, it isn't possible to break into management without having something about you, and a modicum of credibility. Have we made progress this close season? Errrr.... VENKYS OUT!

This season is absolutely massive for them this window will determine how their season will play out hardie and windass two good signings feel they need more though

Sounds about right. What is the standard in Ligue 2 like? Very decent stats for last season on the face of it - 17 goals from 31 games.

Sure as a player wants to leave i dont see any benefit in keeping him , it rarely ends well. We can’t afford to not cash in and him leaving for nothing next year

Cheers I had assumed so. Has it gone through iterations already? Or are they coming to you to make more changes and agree on them?

Second tier European leagues are common targets for us of late, so I certainly wouldn't rule it out. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with that. There are certainly gems to be found.

Seems to be currently injured.

You'd be massively out of pocket. They won't come close to going down. I'd say they're more likely to go up than down (to be clear I don't think they're very likely to go up either). I can practically guarantee that within 3 years they'll be finishing higher in the league than us, if not this season.

Hard to argue with that. A meeting took place and minutes were sent to the club. There shouldnt be a delay from there unless they are trying to mislead.

Timothee Nkada linked from Ligue 2 but two other clubs also mentioned so take it with a pinch of salt.

These meetings feel far too secretive from my perspective and it comes across like club censorship and a lack of transparency. If the club are happy to drag this out every time then I don’t see why the agreement for those that attend not to comment beforehand is torn up.
