He's Captain too, right? And not been paid, yet still there every day training and leading despite the shitstorm Chansiri has perpetuated. Bannan deserves a lot of credit for that.

Finally! Was expecting a bit more of an announcement though

Maybe that's all part of the master plan, Phil. Forced/handed an opportunity to play youngsters this season, we onboard a betting company nobody has heard of, who are desperate to gain attention and traction. Normally, nobody pays the sponsor much mind...but wait...the youth players can't wear it? So half the team will have blank shirts, you say? And everyone and his dog will repeatedly ask "Why haven't those lads got sponsors while the others have?"...to which it will be explained they're a betting company...over and over...and over...and over... So naturally, Kbet are in love with all this free publicity and the continuous brand mentions, and give us a massive sponsorship deal. It's so obvious now I've said it. Pure brilliance.

Phew! Thought it was another night of flicking through the Netflix selection screen until bed. I'm in!

Nice of them to give you that sash slot underneath the left nipple, right up to the armpit. Really maximizing spaces for sponsors this year to rake in the dosh.

Well it's nice of the club to give you something to do on weeknights while you eagerly await our next fixture eh?

I'm presuming you mean "inconsequential" It does suggest he won't be ready for the start of the season, which is a shame. I guess it gives Monga and Evans an opportunity though.

Not sure about anyone else, but this prolonged wait has sucked the excitement out of the appointment a bit. If Cifuentes is appointed, hope he has enough time and friendly games to get the team playing the way he wants. The delay in appointing someone is also naturally impacting our transfer strategy too, in a window where we really needed to act faster to clear the deadwood and get in some fresh faces (e.g. a striker).

I think we've been linked with him before. I'd be up for that. Forest have just signed Jesus from Botafogo, so I don't think they're likely to be in for him. However, as the article suggests, he's just scored in the Club World Cup and Inter want to keep him...albeit as 4th choice. Can't see it happening unfortunately.

I'm guessing he gets notified every time someone posts or something 😂. If so, pretty sure you can "unfollow" the topic @The Year Of The Fox.

It probably is a mix of the two. He fell out with their Director of Football, and was looking to leave (as far as I've seen), so they seem to have made an example of him. He was still contracted, but not allowed to join anyone else during his leave, over which they paid him. The odd bit to me is that now QPR have a new head coach. I'm sure they announced Cifuentes had left "by mutual consent", which implies he's left with a settlement...so maybe he has to pay some of that settlement back, since he's being hired by a competitor? Otherwise I don't see how he would have to buy out anything, if he's no longer employed by them.

We can, just not to a PL (maybe even UK based) team I believe. If we were to do that (unlikely) then we'd have to extend his contract. Like Palace did with Édouard when they sent him to us.

Leicester Sei Edekiball DLS sounds about right, yeah

After seeing how Monga's situation progressed, perhaps if he gets some senior minutes this season he'll agree to a pre-contract too. In the post-match interview him and Alves did, he seemed to be focused on "taking his chance" and words to the effect of wanting to play minutes for the first team.

Ah I missed the OHL game being booked in, thanks. At Seagrave again as well it looks like.

So next confirmed pre-season game is 3rd August, at home to Fiorentina. A month away, and no other confirmed friendlies? Seems a bit odd... Edit: Probably good not to have any home games over that time though, to fix the pitch at Filbert Way.

He's not called ol' gravel throat for nothing.

I would hazard a guess the Championship side is Southampton, with Will Still having moved from Lens to Saints.

Sounds about right then, given our current/recent (delete as appropriate) shirt sponsor!

Brighton have sold Valentin Barco to Strasbourg for £8.5m, so about 900k profit following his loan there for the second half of last season. Bit of an odd one. Highly rated before he arrived, and think he's done okay for Strasbourg, yet not much of a return for Brighton.

Oh god it's 100% this isn't it. He'll fly over, pop by Seagrave and say nah to Röhl, then fly back home, no bother (Yes I've got to this point of just going straight to catastrophising haha)

Sorry, "again"?

That would actually be a really interesting case. If the FA/EFL were to try and force us to do something which breaks their own rules... But yeah let's not have any more drama please. Enough's enough

Yup. "Sources have dismissed the prospect of former Everton and Burnley manager Sean Dyche taking charge." https://archive.ph/9LLwU

I just want Chrissy P back, to be quite honest.
