Percy: Rudkin is also working on appointing a new manager and is understood to have ramped up the interview process this week. Dean Smith held talks with Rudkin and chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha last week in what was effectively an interview, and he remains in contention to land the job on a permanent basis. Manchester City’s first-team coach Enzo Maresca, Steven Gerrard, Scott Parker and Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna are also candidates but a move for Graham Potter, the former Chelsea manager, is regarded as a non-starter following the club’s drop into the Championship.

Percy: Tottenham Hotspur are set to move for James Maddison but have been warned that the transfer fee will be over £50 million. Maddison is a priority target for new Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou and the England international will be sold this summer following Leicester’s relegation to the Championship. The attacking midfielder has just over a year left on his contract and Postecoglou has given his new club the green light to make an offer this month. Leicester are ready to demand a significant fee, however, and it is understood their initial asking price is over £50 million. Though there is an acceptance that Maddison can leave the club, Leicester are insisting that his market value is high due to a number of factors including his statistics, position and ‘homegrown’ status. After signing Maddison for a total £25 million from Norwich City in June 2018, there is also a 15 per cent sell-on clause from any profit which will go to his former club.

Rodge.

Rodge.

Top’s a ****ing lunatic.

Maddison

Top’s preparing 100k a week for him.

Only we could find a Brazilian who plays like Levi Porter.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he goes out and offers the job to Gerrard or Lampard on “JTs” recommendation

Needed.

Shows how shite Serie A is nowadays that the Champions would want a player like him.

To be fair, if we did play until the end of the season like the Southampton game, we would have stayed up. There were some terrible misses.

.

The record fee received for a “Championship” player is £41m - Ake from Bournemouth to Man City. Got to be more than that and Barnes should be close too.

Thanks for your efforts Dean but I hope he’s not in charge next season.

Callum Doyle from Man City on loan. Been excellent for Cov and he’s one we could get permanently if we straight back up.

Any youngsters who could step up apart from Braybrooke? I know Brunt has been used (by Rodge) but I gather he’s not particularly highly rated.

Joel Piroe from Swansea. Quality striker

Joel Piroe

More chance of shagging Jennifer Aniston then Barnes being in our squad at the start of the season.

I’ll guess it’ll hit home when we’re losing 1-0 to Ipswich on a Tuesday night with KDH and Hamza in midfield and he’s playing in the Champions League

You may be right, he’s just posted a pre match graphic of tonight’s game on his Instagram

How many Prem goals has he even scored in 2 years?
