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.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c939rnrk54qo.amp Lancashire spokesperson talks like this is a one off? It’s not!

There is a delay as must be obvious. I'd rather not comment at this stage otherwise.

Stoke do this every year and every year they flatter to deceive

I knew I should have added the words "as a comfort blanket".

Irrespective of who Wrexham bring in, I'd put big money on them going down - Especially with their current manager.

Just a box ticking exercise from the Club's point of view. The longer the release of the minutes is delayed the greater the chance that anything vaguely unpopular and controversial will either have been partly forgotten about and yesterday's chip shop paper or superceded by events and fairly irrelevant.

Duru & Leonard started for U21s who lost 2-1 to Oldham's first team Doherty with our goal

Ash Phillips has rejoined Stoke and their fans are buzzing. This will take him to 2 and a half years of (almost certainly) regular first team football so will leave him in really good stead. Wrexham are starting to get busy. They have signed Hardie and now Windass who both will give them added goals. They signed a Kiwi left back, Thomason as a squad player from Bolton and still seem strong on chasing O'Brien.

Its obviously not a linear comparison for De Neve to replace anyone. You could argue that Ribeiro replaced Beck. He came in when Beck got injured. De Neve will play where Hedges played with Hedges where Dolan was so I suppose thats the closest comparison. Tyjon is currently in the place of Weimann. Either way, if Tyjon gives the output that Dolan or Weimann gave us then its an excellent breakthrough season. (And I suspect only season) But a huge ask.

Just like my wife then.

I know you said early this week, so clearly there is a hold up. Given the feedback on social media, I am jumping to the conclusion that the club, are not happy with something and that’s caused a delay. I know you are caught between a rock and a hard place here, but have you any comment to make at this stage?

If you were an opponent you wouldn’t clatter him, you’d want him to stay on and get another card.

Interesting take. Weaker at LB then imo. Tyjon COULD be sensational. But do you think he'll feature enough to be considered a Dolan replacement? If he does, might be an inspired move.

De Neve replaces Beck. Tyjon replaces Dolan as a ten.

I dont know but they probably take their plastic snake to bed with them every night.

"Perhaps we are discovering the limits of Wiegman’s staunch loyalty to her class of 2022, her stubborn persistence with players and patterns that have long since been decrypted by the rest of Europe." Some truth in that and for large parts of games we have been dull. But it has made for great cliffhangers. Agree that we cannot possibly ride our luck for a third time....can we? And I'm likely to throw something at the TV/radio if I hear another pundit say : "But they found a way through."
