Hiring Dyche would make zero sense. No continuity, no squad ready to play his football, and little-to-no money to go out there and buy the squad he'd want/need. I'm not saying he's a bad manager, but he's not right for us as a club at this moment in time. Hiring him would be a terrible decision if it comes to pass.

Yikes, three windows? That is a long time without transfers (although I guess Frees are allowed, based on that wording). This very much feels like the fans, players, and club are being punished, when it's an ownership problem.

Nice ideas, but would either be willing to drop down to the Championship? Maybe Wilson, given his age and injury record. DCL due to his injury record too maybe?

I have no issues with pink kits or kits that are a bit "out there" in terms of colour scheme, but it feels a bit soon to do one again.

Based on that story, that might be why he's finally getting sacked!!

Yeah I think you're right. Based on all the managerial uncertainty and the radio silence from the club, we were never going to get out business done early. Players on free transfers are unlikely to want to wait around for us to get get our ducks in a row post-1st July.

Swansea have signed Burgess from Ipswich. Interesting move considering he started 16 times I think for Ipswich in the Prem last season.

It looks like one of those science illustrations of a human body, showing muscles but no skin 😅 I'm trying to figure out how they've justified that. Is it supposed to be in the shape of an "M", maybe...?

Fair point! 😂 I'd forgotten they went down - in hindsight I should have posted it in one of the many Manager threads.

Be interested to hear how he does.

Sad for him and Brentford. Good luck to him, but I'm pretty sure this is going to end in tears.

We do it every year. It'll be u23s.

Thinking about it, perhaps this is a case of the announcement from the club that his contract has been extended, and external reports we've rejected a bid from Norwich, are not linear? It would make sense that Norwich held interest in Jakub, spoke to his people, bid for him, we rejected it, and as a result we extended his contract as reassurance to him/his people that he would be important to the club for the foreseeable future. While also protecting an asset (longer contract = more leverage for negotiations).

"Cardiff hold advanced manager talks with Barry-Murphy" https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvg75z2zzgpo Probably puts paid to the idea we might promote him if RVN is sacked. With Jelle ten Rouwelaar targeted by Brighton too, I'm not sure we'll have any coaching staff but RVN and Kingy come pre-season!

Why are people even contemplating this being something we should consider? Bizarre that they have bid for him though.

Man United must be the clearest option. A slight concern for me though is that we know how good Mads is, and 1st half of this season he showcased that to the league...but is that enough for a side to go for him now, after being out injured, and then not quite as good once he came back? Personally I'd love him to stay, but if it's him or Bilal, we have Jakub ready to step up full time between the sticks.

"What makes BC.GAME particularly egregious is that unlike other Asian-facing sports betting operators, BC.GAME took on British customers and carried on doing so even after having its licence revoked by the Great Britain Gambling Commission." "BC.GAME was ranked as the company generating the largest numbers of complaints last year at alternative dispute resolution organisation, AskGamblers.com, which helps bettors in disputes with illegal betting companies." Really, Susan? Due diligence, huh?

I swear, if Wrexham pay money for him...all* will be forgiven, and arise, Sir Jon of Rudkin. *No it won't, but it would still be a masterstroke.

Wonderful news, especially on Monga! Curious that Jakub's has been extended by a year. Would have thought he would get a new multi-year contract, but perhaps the club are...learning?!

Has anyone managed to get hold of a video of his goal last night? All the clips on Twitter seem to be region-locked 🫠

I could definitely see that move happening. If I had to choose to keep one of Coady, Faes, and Vestergaard though, I'd keep Coady.

That is such an obvious call, I can't believe I didn't even consider that. He's going to go to Spurs, isn't he? Just as Martin rocks up in Glasgow. I'm not convinced Frank will want to leave Brentford for Spurs, but if he did leave that opens all sorts of doors and would mean there's no chance we get Rohl.

Ruthless from Spurs, but it didn't seem like Ange was a long term solution to their problems. I wonder where he goes from here? Equally, where do Spurs go? They feel like a bit of poisoned chalice these days.

Edit: Just seen his thread. Interesting! Although him being a starter has exasperated me this season, he's done okay all things considered, and would likely be useful in the Championship if used as sub/experienced head. However, if we could get him off the books that would be some good business I think.
