Summer '24 transfer window

Claude Fauquet.

I'm not so sure that coaches he had at Lorient would get work permits over here.

 

It could be as simple as Speakman wanting to do things properly with due diligence, and wanting to "interview" all coaching staff who join. So De Bris can't say for certain his people are coming in as they're following a formal process.

 

Tbf mate he did say they would be interviewing for new staff to come in

 

Or it could be control and that's why getting a head coach in the first place took so long...

Tin hat.

 

Pinched from X but gave me a chuckle.

I don’t care for Saudi money, money can’t buy you Rigg. Can’t buy you Riiiiigg. FTM

 

Indeed... but would be strange as to all the rumours of his staff coming in then, if they weren't at least interviewing / talking to us.

 

I think that's the biggest problem tbh.

People think that because it's rumoured he wants to bring people in they assume it's from his previous club.

That rumour almost becomes a fact, despite the club saying not saying a word, then there's panic when the facts come out.

I can't believe I'm seeing people saying they're worried ...

... seriously, it's all a bit hysterical.

 

IKN

 

They are getting interviewed alongside Dodds and Proctor. Their mams are on the panel.

 

Looking into it, I actually think this is a major problem. Recent foreign appointments in the championship haven't been able to bring many staff with them.

Thorup at Norwich brought one coach, that coach has been a head coach multiple times so would qualify, but he wasn't a coach Thorup worked with at Nordsjaelland because the coaches he had there wouldn't qualify.

Röhl brought two foreign members of staff but one had worked in England before and the other has been a head coach so they'd be fine. The rest of his staff are English.

Cifuentes took one coach to QPR and that coach had worked in England before.

Just doing basic research I don't think any of Le Bris staff at Lorient would qualify.

My knowledge on work permits is very limited, however there is definitely a pattern there.

 

Fascist Bob will go mad about this and vote for Farage

 

Burnley, in the meantime, are supposed to be signing a £2m left back before they've even appointed a manager. It's rumoured to be Scott Parker who was unceremoniously booted out of his job at Club Brugge, no idea who his staff were there or who he'd take to Burnley.tbh.

Whatever the case Rosenior is still looking for a club, not having much luck.

 

Ahhh shame. Won't be bothering to follow his career any further. He had his chance with us.

 

Seems like the speakman quotes match up with what I have said ….
Offers are in (very good ones) but because of the nature of the players we’re after (Norwood etc) we’re waiting on their decision. After all it’s most likely going to be his last move so he wants to make sure it’s right

 

So they can say Doddsy was the best available!

 

Yawn

 

Take the tin foil hat off lad, I bet you thought doddsy was getting the main job too

 

He's been very good at Sunderland tbf.

 

Liam Cooper failed to agree a contract at Leeds and is now a free agent (reportedly). 32 y/o, left footed centre back. Wonder if he is one we look at.

 

He was shocking last season, one of the worst CBs i watched in the league.

Had a cracking career and might just have had a bad season but i work with a few leeds fans and they said hes a shadow of the player he was a couple yrs ago
