Fox-LMA

I left ten minutes early. I was too hot & thirsty! A lovely day out though.

Isn't selling before you buy normal for relegated clubs? It was almost certainly the case the last time we went down. We didn't make any moves until after we sold Maddison I think...

Okay. I don't hate this...

Yes it is.

I like how the guy hasn't even been appointed yet, & he already has a derogatory nickname!

Probably. Or a disgruntled subcontractor whose invoice hasn't been paid yet...

Seriously, I think we need to forget about this for now. Player salaries is every professional sports club's biggest monthly expenditure, by far. So if the club was having cashflow issues it would be them who wouldn't be getting paid. Not club staff who are on say £20K to £50K p/a. They would probably get laid off instead sadly. Also, due to Ruud's sacking, we've practically found out that payday at LCFC is at the end of the month. If there were staff that have gone unpaid for over a week, it would have surely been leaked to the press by now.

I think his reticence may stem from last season. When Monga, Evans & Aluko were being involved in matchday squads, & he largely wasn't. And felt like an afterthought as a result. Maybe now that he's involved in a full first team pre-season, & doing well, he can perhaps now see that he has a pathway here.

Some very good points here.. Also worth remembering that Dyche would be easily the most expensive of all the managers mentioned so far.

Percy & Dorsett state that it will drag on in to later in the week. Maybe they are trying to give the (difficult) Rohl deal every chance? Massively reading between the lines, I know! (or even clutching at straws...)
