Completely forgot we've (re)signed Forshaw 😅 can't see him getting much game time tbh, probably be loaned out or released at Christmas

Playing for derby in division 1 next season

These official leaving interviews are so bizare and cruel! Don't recall us or any other club doing them before Shit move for him from a footballing/career pov. Hope he's at least making a good life changing amount of money from it. As others have said.... He's got all the technical ability to be a very good championship midfielder but he's never been able to pull it all together consistently

Looks like another likable personality that will easily become a fan favorite if he's even half decent Some real characters in the first team squad this year, I can't remember us having such a mixed bag of foreigners... Maybe under Allardyce was the last time

Has he gone to Derby yet😄 Read their number one could be on his way out to Brentford

Is this the beginning of the end of the quarterly brfcs meltown?

Could they really be trying to claim that the small chants of 'pasha out' was 'p#k&s out'!?

Seems like keanesque bs to make the fans look bad The running of the club really does appear to have deteriorated enormously, right back to how it was in the kean/Anderson/pasha days Pasha the parasite out.

Oh boo hoo travis did you not like the manager being honest with the fans/press What bolloxs. travis and his slimey reps will have been conspiring in secret with eustace and his cronies about getting him to derby for months Ismael is clearly similar to jdt in that it's his way or the highway and just says it how it is... And I actually like that(even if it does upset prima-madonnas like travis) to a point (which i dont feel Ismael has crossed. Souness was the same! Only Souness did end up crossing that line towards the end of his tenure her hahaha

Aren't they all.... Until they get sniff of a better deal elsewhere. Like brittain he had a good purple patch last season but for most of his time here he's mostly been mediocre ability wise and has a habbit of disappearing in games when things aren't going well That said. He will be missed massively in other ways

Thought it was a bit naive of the manager to start so many new in experienced(in the championship) players tbh, ok fair enough he didn't have many options but still... Most managers would have introduced the newbies gradually in the 2nd half to get them a bit of game time

Feel like the manager, recruitment team and board are all on the same page for the first time in a loooooong time!

I think whst we saw of brittain in the final couple of months is the best he's gonna get (a reliable rw back nothing more nothing less) Millar allresdy looks as good as brittain if he can adapt to the championship and has the potential to be a better more versatile player than brittain. Who knows, just get some players signed 😅😅

True dat. I agree it does often seem more like pure petulant stubbornness than good buisnesses negotiations

The one (and probably only) thing you can credit the venky ownership for over the years is that they're never a pushover when it comes to selling players for the price they value them at

The dolan situation reminds me a lot of the nyame situation.... Player thinks he's better and worth more than he actually is. But if that was the case then a decent club would have snapped him up immediately. Can see his career nose diving and him becoming another player that doesn't realise how good he's had it here

He got a lot of stick on here in the past (mostly aimed at his apearance and demeanor 😅) but seemed a good loyal popular member of staff. Be gutted if d Johnson gets pushed out too

Sorry not as sure it's been mentioned anywhere else and didn't want to create a new thread.... But it's been pretty much confirmed that david lowe has left the club

Britain shouldn't be for sale to another championship club. And anything less than 10mill should be laughed at. But hexsim0ly shouldn't be sold

Weren't one of the venks lining one of there sons up to one day take control a few years back?

I know it's still early days.... But has anybody been impressed by a single thing that Ismael has done(or even said) yet?

Also tbf😣 as cretinous as they are you could argue Pasha & waggot have a decent track record of hiring good managers (just sadly in regards to the last 2 they've quickly jumped ship)

Wonder how long it will take before John Park is again re hired following the new manager then parts way (again) in six months

Agree on every assessment. If that really was the list then it would be 💯 best just to leave it until the summer when there will be more managers available or until someone more promising comes forward

That's why I've been thinking that maybe Gerrard could work even though I'm not really a fan of him overall... But he could have the personality and determination (bit souey esque) to just push us over the line and he can just let the current coaching team keep things as they are for now without any major or changes
