Seventyseven

Might be Robinsons level. Expected good things from him at Harborough but he rarely produced and since leaving hasn’t done anything at Step 4.

Genuinely don’t know what you are talking about here? He was only gracious and was cheery in his post match interview. anyway, great away win for the bees today whilst all the others at the top lost or drew.

Hasn’t played for a year, broke both legs in an accident, is 36 in March. 3 year deal incoming…….

He was at Kettering last season.

That’s Devon Kelly-Evans. He’s superb. Harborough very dominant, didn’t really get out of second gear and should have had a couple more. Expected a bit more from Quorn but they seem on a little dip of form.

No. The moronic comment was aimed at those moaning about a statement full stop. It’s right call this out, would have no issue with them recognising things have not been done well but perhaps that’s for another time.

Absolutely pathetic.

But they are dead ‘ard. . Pathetic disgusting chants against Ruskin and Top. Rightfully called out and those moaning about the club statement are equally as moronic.

And he was bang average before that. When is his contract up?

When Dyche was linked with us I shuddered at the thought, but since I’ve read up on him and it’s a pretty lazy thought process due to his more direct nature. And probably because he’s English. it’s a very sensible appointment for them, he plays similar to Nuno and they have the players for that. It also brings back old favourites Woan and Stone so the fans will be behind them. He did a great job at Everton, people forget he had two points deductions and no transfer funds. They will sell one of those anyway for FFP, and it’s not like Dyche falls out with players, a good man manager. Sadly it looks a good fit.

Latest reports suggest Silva is their number one target and that he’s interested.

He had a poor scoring record in a poor league. Many players with good records struggle here when coming from the Netherlands. It’s hardly surprising he’s not very good.

Yep increased wages but also increased income, Europa doesn’t bring in quite enough to make losing this an issue for me. They can easily sell a Gibbs-White, Murillo, Anderson etc for £60m plus. We stopped doing this and allowed Tielimans to walk for free (criminal) and got a reduced fee for Maddison. Remember they also have the multi club format (like a few of the others) which helps shift players on. Totally legit and something we will see more of.

It’s a net spend of £85m. They will make a big sale next summer (like this year). And will be absolutely fine. They have europa money, increased sponsorship, tickets etc. Just because we can’t manage our finances doesn’t mean everyone else cannot.

Leek came for a replay, even after we were reduced to 10 with 30 mins to go they wouldn’t attack. A bit odd.

Very different to the Brentford situation who lost the whole back room staff, Mbeumo, Wissa and Norgaard. Marco Silva is unhappy at Fulham and been linked with them in the past (ex Oly) and they nearly appointed Glasner before Nuno (who’s also unhappy). it’s very much a ‘head coach’ role set up there, someone will slot in and do alright as things stand

Just read an article in the Athletic, it’s not a fall out with Marinakis but Edu. And possibly because Edu likes Kia Joorabichan players rather than Jorge Mendes players (who Nuno is aligned to!) All very football in 2025. Nuno will be gone but they’ll be alright, I’m sure most on here were saying he’d be crap this year anyway like he was at Wolves!

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/transfers/wettbewerb/GB1 They have spent £141m and recouped £118m. So just over £20m spent. I know they like to get players in but I’m not convinced they are spending £280m in the next week.

He’s signed a new contract since.

Forest have sold over £100m worth of players this summer. They were also well within FFP last season. And they are in Europe. They absolutely can spend money and I don’t blame them for doing so.

It doesn’t help when he gets linked with Chelsea. Absolutely not happening, ever. He should be a fine championship player at some point.

They pulled in nearly £100m with sales. I saw Marinakis got involved in the negotiations. Assume many on here think he had the Bologna board and Ndoyes family held hostage whilst these talks went on 😀

Well they have to as they have been named in the case. This thread has got pretty mental. People genuinely believe Gibbs-White was held captive. FFS. Let’s be honest, we’d love a Marinakis here and would be lauding it.

Enjoyed the coverage of that on YouTube. It’s only pre season but Harborough were looking decent.

You don’t really need a 3rd choice keeper in the championship, just give the spot to a youth keeper and if one gets injured get one in on loan. Assume we are sorting out a transfer away for Mads.
