Rohl may be buying out of his contract directly, which for both managers and players are now allowed but rare. By not paying staff and players, Rohl is definitely in a better position to negotiate any clause lower. I am sure he'll expect a good signing on bonus wherever he goes, which will cover the cost to buy himself out. It be worth any eventual club to wait.

Yeah probably clutching at straws. But a very short article written by two journos, not so sure about that, Mike has been writing about the Wednesday stuff ongoing for a while. However you’re right, it probably doesn’t mean anything 😀

It’s worth noting, that it’s Mike McGrath the likely writer of that article, who writes on topic’s nationally. Percy is the Midlands correspondent, maybe he’s included within this article for a reason…

Like here, Owls talk know as much about Rohl’s side as we do. Check Brentford’s forum, he doesn’t have his own topic (from what I can see) which you imagine would be slightly weird if it’s Brentford discussing compensation... On the Brentford forum they have discussed it but this discussion also includes don’t they mean Röhl’ assistant and wouldn’t this undermine KA knowing he’ll take over should it all go wrong. The lack of movement just points to us being the club. They’d have announced King by now. Dyche I assume could come in should it fail with Rohl and assume we’re not letting on to anyone we’re negotiating anything to ensure we can keep our options open. The better not just go for King though like others have said he isn’t ready and wouldn’t stand a chance. Ecstatic he is learning with us though.

Prepare for the meltdown on the Rohl thread.

Stop taking photos then you perve

yes put us out of our misery, go on do it.

Sorry I should have been clearer. I was talking about being pro or non pro Dyche, so if we did sign him then most would be in favour. I would favour Rohl too but most people are likely to be ok with Dyche if it were to be him. But who knows with this board, it’s them where the change needs to be made.

I’d rather Rohl but Dyche is favoured higher than he isn’t in the recent poll. Its a very real possibility that we get neither , options far far worse.

No one is ever is ever held accountable and how we have anyone on here defending the board still, is beyond me. It’s all the little things that go wrong, left to the last minute and all the lost revenue, it all adds up if you constantly fail to sell players when decent money was offered. And we seemingly treat good pros like this - and why it’s all needless.

Only so many people the club can get away with trying to fool. I wonder if we are completely fcked and we’ve no one immediately lined up and struggling to even convince our targets to take the poisoned chalice.

There will definitely be a section that refers to his struggles due to the nasty Leicester fans.

Yes, if you read their forum it’s horrendous. Their chairman openly argues with fans on Linkedin it be hilarious if this wasn’t all very serious and depressing for lots of people. Mismanaged into their current mess. Rohl did very well considering and we will benefit if we get him.

Agreed. I hope the club are actively pursuing him after all this. I definitely think the club needs change at the top but the very least a forward thinking coach like Rohl I can get behind.

Can’t see that. Think there is a tweet posted (posted here too) that stats compensation likely agreed but doesn’t give an amount. May just be me being blind.

Yep if I put £1k on Wilder (😀 @jamesmilner ) then the odds will decrease for Wilder. I could be just a buffoon taking a wild bet.

The bookies should never be held as an indicator of anything.

if anyone wants a look https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/search/2/image?family=editorial&phrase=leicester city football club&sort=best&page=2 These will be updated during pre season.

It’ll be the same situation, other club not willing to match the stupid wages and us trying our best to haggle our way out of a sale to avoid a balance sheet loss on the fee. Buyer pulls out and lose out anyway. Vestergaard could easily have left but didn’t fancy it. What’s annoying is this better not prevent Ben Nelson getting into the team.

All have been on international duty, so will be back later, although Hamza is back it doesn't surprise me he is back earlier

Not enough

I agree. I think we should if that’s true. So what are we waiting for, I hope we’re not relying on this coming down further. I think their owner is desperate for money and we can’t afford for it to drag on.

Yes and on Owlstalk there isn’t any suggestion that their owner will agree to reduced compensation. So it could drag on which isn’t in our interest ahead of any form of planning with the new season fast approaching.

A great metaphor for those watching for the state of the club at present, it’s embarrassing. Tbh if that isn’t sorted by the start of the season then our situation is clearly worse than we realise. Got to be done surely!

RVN is a philosophical Dutch guy. Our issue is the inability of hierarchy to keep their distance between themselves and the playing staff. This needs to change. The manager philosophy should be what any players buys into, we seemingly have allowed our players to dictate. Dyche seems to get the best out of his players and get players to run through walls for him. Whether it’s him or someone else the club have a lot to change culture wise.
