I honestly think they're sensing a shift in how manager hirings work. They're just going to keep a ton of managers on gardening leave so that if any other club wants to come get them, they have to pay a fee. They'll snatch up managerial talent like they do youth talent.

No hard feelings, thanks for the promotion. Obviously hope he doesn't do well for Chelsea, but hope he absolutely rinsed them for a payday.

Not really in favour of redesigning the badge, but would be for us having a simpler badge for kits - sort of like how Liverpool has their classic badge with the flames and text, but then all their kits just have the bird, or how Arsenal have just the cannon. Just the cinquefoil + foxes head could look very clean. Also love the running fox, but I think that should be for more once in a while special kits.

Remember reading he had a bit of an attitude problem from the Antwerp fans, but hard to say if they believe it or if it's just standard fan frustration.

I want him to stay, but only because I don't think our board has the capability to hire a manager and build a squad that can stay up, with a points deduction and the financial constraints that we're going to have. I doubt we'd manage evem without having also to find a manager. That said, 10 million in the kitty is hard to turn your nose up when we're in the mess we are. Really comes down to who would take the job after him - the first names that pop into my head aren't super inspiring.

Thought Coady was on very high wages, not sure Stoke is going to really be able to cover much of them.

Seen him live a couple of times this season, looked very good for his age I thought. Not one to walk into the starting XI mind.

He's very highly rated but surely a totally unnecessary signing unless we're somehow shifting at least 2 goalkeepers this summer?

I like where the club's head is at with the links we've had so far. Can't comment on him personally, but might be nice for Fatawu to have a countryman in the squad.

Sassuolo look like they're going down. Berardi obviously the big name there, but Josh Doig as the solution to that LCB role could be a great pickup.

Hahaha **** off Birmingham

Keep IMO, one of the few that seemed to give a shit at the tail end of 22/23. We're going to need to sign somebody to play at the left of the defence anyway probably, may as well be him.

11 goals, 3 assists in the second half of the season for a team near relegation? Definitely worth a shout

Just need to hold on to these three points and we'll be in a really good position to see out the rest of the season

GET INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

none of them care, they'll all **** off first chance they get.

leeds currently sitting on 75% possession and 0 shots on target

Honestly who cares? We're probably back down next season anyway due to points reduction and no cash to spend. We should spend the year blooding in new players and youth and getting them up to speed as I think it would take a miracle to stay up if we get hit with a -10 or -12.

Top with a game in hand, lovely stuff. Wasn't the prettiest display, but we got it done and Leeds/Ipswich didn't. Yunus with a great cameo

I like Everton a lot, and think it's ****ing shameful that fans of a team from a city with as much poverty as ours should act like that.

wonder if being the only team to get weaker during the transfer window is going to come back and bite us? better hope we figure it out because if we don't go up first try it gets a lot harder

100%. Literally nobody cares about how you get promoted once you're promoted, it's like caring about GCSE results after you get into a university.

Offside and scored by someone who should be in prison, classic

Just seen this - obviously us often leading by 75' means that there are more points to lose, but still a pretty damning condemnation of our ability to see out games when we're tied first place for most points dropped near the end of a game.

Not going to be missed in the long-run, but sucks given our injuries and upcoming games. That's just the way it goes with loans I guess.
