I expect Pears to move on cos he wants to number 1 or will get a move to PL as back up keeper I think JRC and Buckley need to move on for their own career and start playing somewhere regular based on what? If you look at the stats he had good season and better than previous season. More than a decent keeper at this level for mid table club

I can't agree that Kent, I don't see the point of re-signing him when he need to play football and develop. He had his chances here and was never good enough Good spot that. I think you are right that Pears will move on and I think its probably right to do so and we will at least get over 1m for more than decent keeper for championship or PL team who wants a number 2 keeper as a back up

Like I have said that its isn't a surprise that Sheffield United new owners want to now start changing things and bring in their own head coach choice which is most likely after a change of ownership, very rare it doesn't after a change of ownership. I don't know alot what king data lead approach they want to bring or whether they done this at other sports clubs if they owned any or other businesses. based on what? Sellas kept them up and that was the aim when they were bottom of the league when he took charge of his first game and in the dug out. I think Hull should have build on what they were doing under Sellas, instead Hull owner went his own way and he did it previously with Rosenier sacking and last season was mess for them When we went into an embargo under Bowyer we could only sign free agent under 10k and loan players in but no loan fee could be paid. I think Rovers should be looking to sign Anthony Musaba from Sheffield Wednesday who we could probably get cheap around 1m for the right wing signing we need

You would expect 3 games moved from the Saturday to Boxing day for PL teams, 12.30, 5pm and 8pm kick off. So its looks like Rovers will be away first game. Wouldn't mind Derby away or Stoke away. Expect Southampton or Charlton away I wouldn't mind Leicester or Wrexham at home first game at all.

Plus what you haven't factored in new owners and that tend to lead to a change in the dugout most times plus they want a data lead approach in recruitment. Didn't realise you were big Chris Wilder. I stand my comments about the Cleverley sacking at Watford. Hope he does well at Plymouth. Chance for him to build something there

He was appointed on Friday but did not take charge of the Saturday game at home to Rovers, they lost. When he took official charge of his first game they were 24th in the leagues. Those are facts Matty 👌👍

when he took over for his first game which was 1-1 Championship - Overview: Matchday 20 24/25 | Transfermarkt

I think Rob Edwards to Boro isn't a strange appointment. Gerhard Struber going to Bristol City, is a move I don't get. Deffo think they could have done much better Sellas to Sheffield United is a surprise move but The Sheffield United owners want to move to data lead recruitment approac. I surprised they are sacking Wilder to be honest Sellas took over at Hull with them rock bottom of the championship and he kept them up. Did a good job there shame Hull owner didn't stick by him.

no idea but just posting what he said Its standard stuff that you will have different lists for different positions you want to bring in, Every club is the same when buying players.

I sort off agree there but Tuchel was short term appointment. I don't expect to see hm here after the World Cup, he will want back into Club Football

It appears that Derby haven't offered Batth a 2 year contract offer given Nicko's comments today.

We also want players with pace and Tronstad was good signing from the Dutch market. We have always look into the foreign Market whether its was Henning Berg or MGP or Roque Santa Cruz then Tronstad and Ohashi I agree that we should have some championship experience players in the squad and I'm sure we will but we are looking for some pacey players so its no surprise we are looking overseas for that. Karbgo being one with pace. Our team has lacked that number of years

Official Football shirts are all around that price or higher yet plenty of fans buy them. The England Football shirt is now £65 pounds after being reduced from £85 PNE home shirt last season was £60 Man City home shirt for 25/26 season is £85 why was the Pink horrific Rev? It was very popular buy in the club shop and plenty of fans bought it.

Tuchel has come in for us to win the world cup, that what he was hired for, that's his target

Looks like Chris Wilder will be sack by Sheffield United owners who took charge of the club in December. They are bringing in Ruben Sellas from reports. Middlesbrough are set to appoint Rob Edwards as Michael Carrick's replacement. Bristol City are set to appoint Gerhard Struber as Liam Manning's replacement

Why would you have scouts who have good knowledge of the European market and not allow them to used that to find players? Also given that type of player we want for the wide position we want it's clear you would be looking in the French and Belgium markets? You wouldn't be looking to Spanish or Italian market for that type of player?

no

Will he? given that most of the scouting especially overseas will be done by watching Videos of games and using Wyscout to find players which alot of clubs used to find players. Ismael has been clear what he wants in terms of players qualities and attributes like Pace. Yes we are looking overseas for what we want cos the market is cheap in terms transfer fees and wages. I'm sure we will be looking domestic for players but how many good pacey players can we get for our budget here. How much would a Tyler Goodham cost us this summer or Sirki Dembele cost?

Southgate record was semi final at world cup 2018 and 4th Euro 2020 runner-up World cup 2022 knock out by finalist France in a very even game that could have gone either way Euro 2024 runner up Do you think Tuchel can get us to the last 8 and I'm not sure he knows what tactical set up he wants or his starting 11 should be? I can name my starting 11, can you?

didn't realise you were such an expert on recruitment and whether someone is suitable for that role or not, good to know hope you taken a stand against buying a ST given your viewpoint on ST policies being piss poor and he talked a load of shit trying to justify it

Is Gestede doing the scouting or is people like Michael Cairney and Piotr Sadowski doing the actually scouting of players?

Depends where he moves to. As Peterborough have find out this with Jones and possibly Poku moving to non English clubs meaning they don't not much of any fee. Which you haven't thought off what quote? I have said what I recall Nicko saying on Radio Lancs over a week ago Rovers willing to offer a 3 year contract is what was reported. All in the wording
