More you would say a conduit between the head scout manager communicates what he needs relays the message and dof works with scouting team to sign a player who fits the remit allowing the manager to focus on coaching the team. I think for most clubs gone are the days where the manager does all the leg work.

It all depends on if they trust him enough to implement his vision in my opinion a dof should oversee the football vision of the club this should be down to choosing a manager which it would seem he's not going to. But moving forward he has to be able too that way if we loose a manager we are not yo yoing from one which plays football to another who say wants to go long there in theory should be a shortlist there in place of who we want to carry on with implementing the vision. Of course we all know how this club runs and we will have 5 or 6 people holding interviews from different rooms with different people and who ever gets the owners ear will get their choice.

If we take that as true then I'd assume the 15m Armstrong deal is not all upfront

Correct me if I'm wrong but the £7m we spent was an out going in 2018 anything we have coming in would be an incoming in 2022 the financial cycles last 3 years so the 7m loss is off the books this year but the possible 15m going in would be on.

But we are getting the 7m back plus the rest on top there's nothing to say we can't reinvest the original cash. If I own my house and sell my house for more than I bought it for I have the original outlay+ the profit to spend no?

Why minus 7m the 20% would be off any profit made on the sale if there is a sell on so at £15m would leave 13/14m not 6m. Tho I do agree we would see fa of it tbf.

Tbf Dilan will be at the club beyond the end of the season and the players you mentioned are hardly banging them in.

He was hobbling at one point towards the end and at one point when the ball was out of play you could see him trying to stretch his hammys

The first and only time those will cross

Tbf I think the break will do a world of good for buckley

Blow for us and the lad if it's a bad one with his contract being up

He's basically signed it committed to the deal on his 17th birthday just like the club are committed to their end say he got a bad injury.

We should have brought in a forward of course but hopefully Giles can create more chances for us than we have been and let's face it this run has been built on the back of clean sheets keep them going and we have a great chance.

Played the other week looked their best player

Tbf I could not care if he gets a reducer in training that cocks up the rest of his career

So I trust we will not be paying the snake

Have to take that point with all the players missing

No the reality is we are paying his wages there is no excuse to refuse to play ( if indeed he has) if we go down the route you are describing then players should be paid based on appearance not weekly.

If its Brentford I can kind of understand it (although it does make me agree with Ivan Tonys fuck brentford) I do not condone refusing to play as we are paying him so I'd still hold out for at least 5m

No then it's all good and he stays. If he's pushing for a move and is suddenly injured then it's snake like.

No I'm sorry he signed a contract if we turn down a bid I'm sorry he just has to get on with it refusing to play is a snakes behavior if he fit injured in an accident tonight he would expect us to pay him for the remainder of his contract so why can't we expect him to do the job he's paid for.

Tbh this might be cutting my nose off to spite my face but if he's refused to play I'd fine him a month's wages. Then I would not allow him to train with the rest of the team and make him come in at awkward times of the day for fitness training well away from the rest of the first team squad.

Tbf we are so are his lot there's nothing wrong with being aggressive on the pitch as long as you are not violent. We fight and scratch for the points we might not have the expensive quality of some but we out work most over 90 mins

While we have a whole load of young players they fight for everything and battle like men to a man.

Gally took that goal so well
