    Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

    I haven't watched any of the preseason games but if Walter's style is so unconventional, where does that leave us on the list of clubs for PL teams to loan their stand-out talent? Rosenior had pull, no doubt, but he played a system that would really benefit development. Do these big clubs...

    New Manager

    Not sure Dawson could keep us up. I love that he's staying but I think it takes more than he can offer to manage at this level. Rosenior is on his way to the very top I believe and I'm really excited that he's here. Great appointment IMO

    Transfer Rumours Summer '22 Transfer Thread

    Honeyman was colossal in league one and stood out last year to some degree. However, he's clearly not backing himself to break into the starting 11. I wouldn't either. He would be great to have around and given the choice I'd keep him but he wants to play football and I respect that. He wants...

    New owner confirmed…

    Any chance this delay is just artificial? Presumably the new owner knows a bit about building suspense to generate interest. It would also make sense to come in quite close to the transfer window opening to maximize the impact of his arrival. Just a thought.

    Match Day Thread Hull City v Derby County

    In the HDM article he does say at one point 'its their club' with reference to the supporters. He talks a lot but I imagine he's said that on purpose. I don't dislike him, I think he knows the owners are ****s but he's got a job to do.

    l**ds odd season

    Pretty sure they took their foot off the gas after winning the league in August. Doesn't matter to me I'm more bothered about being passed by Scunthorpe. Well, not bothered exactly because I'm currently pretending I don't care anymore. I do, but I don't.

    Time for Phelan to go. Clueless

    I wouldn't normally call for a manager to be sacked but Phelan isn't one. He's got a weak squad but they are more capable than they're showing with his inept tactical decisions and inability to make sensible adjustments mid-game. I don't know where he gets the idea that allowing a premier...

    zgemma

    Just in case it's any use to anyone, I use an android box with kodi and I really recommend installing droidmote server on it. It costs a couple of quid but then you can install droidmote client on your phone (for free) which you can them use as a touch pad/remote/game controller - It works on PC...

    New owner confirmed…

    They will try and save face I'm sure. Doesn't matter to me I just want them gone.

    New owner confirmed…

    If they had done that then I'd have expected the Allam argument to have some real substance in terms of what could be expected in terms of increased exposure and revenue but there really was no compelling argument and that does make me suspect there was no real encouragement from any Asian...

    New owner confirmed…

    If they want to change the name then they can **** off too. However, I'm sure they will have noticed that it's quite an unpopular idea and is also not allowed by the FA so not really worth pursuing. I expect that the Allams also know this but apparently it's easier to go into battle with the...

    Sky sign Gary Neville for Undisc Fee

    At least he had a go. Didn't work out but fair play to him. Ballsy going back, too as I doubt he needs the money.

    No new manager

    I know it won't happen but I'd have Phil Brown back because he's a very good coach and all the better when Sam Allardyce is not attached to a competing club. Also he's a character and as we're already up the creek we might as well!

    No new manager

    I'd have Zola now. His record isn't great (well, it looks pretty terrible) but we need something and I think he's worth a gamble. As things stand we're completely ****ed. Appointing Zola isn't going to make things any worse. I'm not sure why he'd want it because it'll be the hardest job going...

    No new manager

    You cannot consider cups because a manger will often decide that they're quite unimportant. Our cup run happened with a weaker team because the manager has to protect the 'better' players. He decides who his better players are for the league competition so comparing only stats for that...
