So how will he be announced? I reckon we’re going to get Jayda Fransen in and go with the hashtag #Brittainfirst to go along with #oneofourown

Plus he’s clearly balding and refusing to admit it

Ash Phillips will play a part you’d think

Worrying how little game time some of our first team will have this pre season Dack more than anyone needed a full pre season so I hope this knock is as innocuous as mentioned

His track record speaks for itself………..

The fact it’s just a year shows that his agent has backed him into a corner and had to take that to try for a better move next year All along I said he’d end up at a top team, how wrong was I! Rhino’s suck, Hippo’s all the way

Be happy with Brittain, not sure he’s much if any better than Nyambe but he’s gone, he’s damn sure better than JRC so an upgrade on what we have now! expect the greatest unveiling video ever, they’ve had long enough to plan one

Worry that we could see another Lambert scenario here

Course it will be easy, same as we always get “deals were there to be done, we offered what we thought a good package but we couldn’t get them over the line….”

Next year is the acid test for Macron given the guys that input to the last two seasons have now moved on!

Could have been an instant classic without that sponsor

Chaddy - why will you not be answering any questions? Was there anything said that he didn’t want shared? It sounds like you were reassured but what specifically gave you any hope that he wasn’t just playing to the crowd?

Nyambe going to Wigan is criminal he’s far better than that, feel his agent has done him here, he’d be much better off swallowing his pride and signing here

They want to point out the likes of Callum Wright, went to Leicester and since has only been loaned to Cheltenham, opportunities may have arisen here

Very worrying and tally’s with all the talk of Spurs interest If he hasn’t signed yet (as we were assured) then you have to think it’s unlikely he will with much more exciting offers on the table Potentially a great players and a huge windfall missed - again

Telegraph now backtracking on the signed deal and confirming no deal is signed with Philips and talks are ongoing You have to think if he’s not signed now he’s unlikely to especially if Spurs are in his agents ear, could be potential millions lost again here

Worryingly though our season starts in 2 weeks, hope we have enough games to get sharp

Left back and right back can’t come in quick enough

Diaz miss much worse it was bread and butter for a striker and he just ran straight into Hart

Pickering is so far out of his depth they are getting in behind him so easily

Noticed Ash Phillips is wearing a sponsorless shirt tonight I assume due to his age and regulations about being able to advertise vapes

Paging our resident Gibraltan edit sorry I believe it’s Gibraltarian

Nicer than the blurry leaked pic for sure

Hope there’s a trialist in the mix today just for fun

There hasn’t been any murmurs that anyone is less than 100% behind the manager
