Summer transfer thread

Fair enough, pal.

I'm raging with the timing of it all. Hopefully it all comes out in the wash but he's left us in right in the **** here.

Speakman will already have 3 or 4 managers ready to approach that suits the way we are now. We need to move fast on them.

 

Its almost like they want you to keep watching

 

One amendment to that. We need to find a Head Coach. The next man up needs to be under no illusions that transfers are none of his f*cking business unless Speakman asks his opinion.

 

devils advocate here - if he's left as he wants to work with experienced pros and not the youth model we are implementing, I know which side I fall on.

We need to find a head coach who can come in and work with the style of player we are bringing in.

I really want(ed) that to be Neil. But if he doesn't want it to be him, then I guess ****ing off now is for the best

 

I’m sorry but this is a flat out lie

 

Must say though the Bennette signing niggles me. It just doesn't seem like it's fits what Neil's done with the squad. I'm not optimistic about the kid, from what I've seen he looks a bit gash. But the club have put some effort and money into bringing him in. If I'm Alex Neil I'd be asking why those funds and man hours weren't put into some one with EFL experience.

 

They will probably have just enough for Stewart

 

100% gone.

 

That's not true, even AN said he has final say on a player coming in or not

 

Three defeats before an appointment last time wasn’t it?

 

I think the nuance is he hasnt been given control over players coming in. The club continue to invest. Sounds to me like he doesnt like his job description anymore.

 

He came here not as our first choice. He is Stokes first choice. It could come down to something as simple as that. I was never comfortable with this rolling contract. First time in my lifetime we've lost a manager to another club and we'll get about 27 quid compo. Onto the next one.

 

all points to this being set up when we played them ..whole process stinks ..

 

What the hell must be going on behind the scenes for this to ****ing happen? Things mustn't be anywhere near as ticketyboo as we all thought?

 

Mostly over the contract ext he wanted but it didnt get sorted.

 

Feel sorry for Jewison Bennette like. Poor lad must be wondering what the ****'s going on.

 

Understandable if we were spunking huge amounts on absolutely crap players, but we've brought in some very good players who are producing on the pitch?

 

Everton or Rangers probably.

 

Can forget any new signings really until they know who their manager is

you'd have to be stupid to sign for a club without knowing the manager rates you

 

Think people are just speculating now, we have no idea why he has left. There are rumours he insisted on the rolling contract and the clause which allows him to speak to other clubs
