Interesting about Sheff Utd. Relegated teams will always have a chance because of the financial advantage but they seem to be an ageing side that’s going to need a good overhaul.
I swear they parted with Mislintat? Think he’s rumoured to be going back to Dortmund. Feyenoord’s just lost Slot, hard to say if they’ll maintain the form they had under him. Agree on the latter, Ajax have always been a bed of upcoming talent, type of players Potter would’ve likely done some serious damage with as well. I think he would’ve been ideal for their mini revival.
I’ve a feeling Coventry will be good. They’ve been building for this and are spending big again this season. They’re following the likes of Brentford and Brighton of bringing in big money through player sales and investing it wisely. This could be their year.
No fookin idea what's going on - speculation that Potter was close but started wobbling when he realised there is a clause in his Chelsea pay -off that says his £1million a month (or whatever obscene amount he's still getting) stops at the point he signs a new contract ...
TBH ... would quite have liked us going for Mark Robbins to succeed Maresca - ex-player and done a cracking job with Cov ..
Why you posting about politics on the match day thread? Give it a break, it’s becoming boring very quickly.
We got a new manager for the coming season, Mark Bonner, he got Cambridge promoted from L2 at first attempt, it was his team that knocked Newcastle out of the FA Cup in 2022 - he didn't hack it at L1 level. about 3 new players in so far, might be 4 not sure. Expectation will be promotion from the owners and the fans. I'd be disappointed if we didn't get play-offs at the very least with the money being pumped into the club. However, that was the aim last season and it failed, my view is that was our own undoing for sacking Neil Harris, funnily enough the guy that replaced Bonner at Cambridge I believe lol.
Yeah, I know who that is. I’ve got a Newcastle supporting mate with that name so I can remember talking about it when they played them in the cup. I might just throw Gillingham in then. That league is a minefield, any team can have a decent season so it’s as good as anything else.
Way it's looking you may find out first hand for yourselves very soon, no idea what the hell that idiotic dof at your club thinks he's doing?
We got some guy who was supposedly Sunderlands first team coach, not sure how accurate that is, Anthony Hayes joins us as Assistant to Bonner.
