    What’s confusing about this for me is, if that is what we offered still (I believe you on this) then what is preventing us getting other targets? We were willing to adapt for still (who has a decent cv not spectacular) are we not willing to adapt for others? Just been a bizarre situation from my perspective, apathy starting to take over if I’m honest. Hoping for some positive news over the weekend

    I don't. He is very well confident and the Speakman isn't popular.

    Not to mention the lad is salt of the earth.

    Makes pure sense.

    I’m gonna guess the compensation fee got a bit ridiculous

    In regards to the new head coach would fans rather...

    We were absolutely amazing to watch but just miss out on playoffs finishing 7th.

    Or be boring to watch and finish 6th.

    I see loads of discussions regarding styles of play just curious as to what others think

    just feels too convenient to me. And I’m saying that as somebody who believes it to be true.

    That’s clearly a lie isn’t it? Still just saying that to random strangers. Stretches credulity to say the least. Sounds like a story a 14 year old tells about their summer holidays.

    I would like to counter here.

    He is desperate to live back in England. Was here 3 times. AOL twice. Perfect club given the french links and youth development. It was a closed book. Easy deal.

    We screwed it.

    But jumped at the first chance to stay in France and didn’t bother with any other English club?

    Absolutely. Why wouldn't you. Better salary. Take 4 staff not just 2. More control. Easy call.

    This confirms for me that Smug's (and others) information, that he/they gave in good faith to help/inform the rest of us, was 'spot on' despite what some who want to cause trouble for him might say . . . . well done all that have been trying to help <applause>

    Maybe, that's definitely a possibility.

    Because if he was so desperate to be in England why not wait for an English club like Burnley to open up

    I’ll keep saying this until I’m blue in the face.

    identify who you want, compromise and be flexible, pay the money and appoint who it is you want.

    Lessons will never be learned at that football club, actions speak louder than words.

    No counter needed mate. I agree with scouts opinion that the deal was agreed and Lens took him away. I also agree with you that I believe it could have been sorted weeks before Lens were even looking

    That's exactly it and I blame the ****ing lot on Speakman.

    He has knacked this one up too.
