One thing Nixon says is JDT wants to coach the team and happy to transfers to his Director of Football to sort out.

Yes I know he wants out but was he good signing by them and who is going to buy or loan him?

Like I just posted that my opinion of how it will between Broughton and Tomasson. I'm sure before agreeing to come here Tomasson and Broughton would have talked about their working relationship and how it will work That's why the head coach has input who on the shortlist he would prefer. Plenty of clubs have made this structure work from this league and I will give you 2 examples Brentford and Norwich That;s why Tomasson will have input before we sign someone. Didn't Mowbray want Davenport or have I miss something or miss understood?

just my opinion how I see things working relationship between Broughton and Tomasson to work.

Clubs will look to get those players on the cheap. I would say its will tough challenge for Kompany and he needs a sporting director will him and good experience number 2 with championship experience with him

Tomasson will work closely with Broughton on recruitment but his main focus is coaching the team. Leaving Broughton to find the players and bring in more recruitment staff. Tomasson as head coach won't need to focus on that or sort out personal for the medical or sport science department as Broughton will sort that. for Example, Tomasson will say he needs a pacey striker with high work rate and can press from the front so its Broughton with recruitment staff to find players for that position and then him and Tomasson will pick who they want from a shortlist of 4 or 5 players.

Who they selling? who paying 40 mil for Pope? They are in huge financially mess due to the Loans taken out to buy the club. Vydra is in talks over a new deal but no deal agree yet so out of contract in 17 days time

You would have thought Burnley would have known about this problem with Kompany not having Pro licence so it being a problem gaining a work permit

How are they affording him? Firstly, Tomasson will be head coach not manager. He will work with Broughton on recruitment and he will have a say but most foreign head coaches like this structure and most clubs all over Europe have this structure in place. Its works and allow the head coach to focus on the training ground, tactics and match days stuff. Why it is a big risk?

I hope we go for Nimes's winger Niclas Eliasson. He was at Bristol City a couple of years ago.

I would imagine he will move to Manchester or Brockhall He seems a very experience coach and number 2 with championship experience would be Ideal for JDT

what a shocking leave by the Kiwi captain and Anderson hits Middle and off. 1 down already

England only 14 runs behind now. England have batted very well. Now the pitch is spinning and swinging cos there is cloud cover.

Agreed there and I'm sure Rovers would have sought advice of work permit expert to see how long it would take

Tomasson would need to acquire a work permit, however, it is understood that should be a straightforward process and not bring any particular delay which could see him able to lead training in the coming days. from the LT article

what I have said is more than common sense and the right approach for us. Making sensible signings whilst look to bring through a couple of our quality young players.

I've seen that on Friday I would imagine Jon Dahl Tomasson will want a few staff with him. So lets see what will happened regarding Benson and Lowe future when JDT comes here Don't forget his coaching experience as number 2 for Denmark where he spent over 3 years there.

I have said I would get rid of Ayala cos he is too injury prone and his wages should be used much better. So my new signing would partner Wharton as first choice. Not at all. You are asking 2 kids to be part of the first team squad. That's it. Vale is 21 years and Brown is 23 so both aren't kids in my eyes. Both would be part of my first team squad going forward. Can't be any more clearly. I posted what I would do transfer plan wise. I think 6 signings would be right for the squad In My Opinion

Stokes was trying to get quick runs and put England into where we might only have to bat once. Stokes as Captain is right man to do this. Root is scoring quickly. If we bat all tomorrow we will probably be 200 runs ahead and leaving New Zealand to survive on the last day. Pitch is now spinning and I wonder if New Zealand will regret not playing their front line spinner now? They been discussing it during the test matches and before each day of play. They want to play positive cricket but not all out attack how many catches did England drop? Both teams have dropped catches. Sky Commentary team have explained why this might be the case

Who has ever said Phillips should fill the void of Lenihan? has anyone? Carter should start has our 3rd choice now with Philips as 4th choice for me Did you see his spell at Halifax? how do you know he struggle there? Vale would be my 3rd choice striker behind Gallagher and a new signing for the 9 role. Did Buckley or Travis go out on loan before breaking through here? no they didn't. Plus I also said that we should sign 2 centre midfielders this season didn't I?

My posts on the issue was very clear who the 4 were. Brown was in the under 23's squad last season. My 4th was Jake Garrett. talented player. You clearly didn't read the post properly cos nowhere did I say Vale would be regular first team player but part of our squad. Did Travis and Buckley go out on loan before they made their debuts here. No they didn't. I think Phillips, Garrett and Vale are off similar quality
