Transfer Rumours Summer 2026 Transfer Window

[rowley]

KLD loves the club, I think that much is obvious. If he was to sell I don’t think it would be to make a quick fortune. Maybe his thinking is that he’s taken the club as far as he can financially. This next chapter for us, cementing ourselves as a top half PL team and taking on European football will require a lot of investment. How much the owners put in themselves or how much they can attract from outside investors have no idea but I’m sure he’ll do the best thing by the club.

The investment required is limited to what the club can afford. This is the nature of SCR. It is how the club is run as much as how much is piled in that counts.


KLD seems to me pretty commited, and the effort he put into attracting Xhaka particularly and the players subsequent remarks do suggest a long term involvement.

But these people live in a rarefied world, and you never really know. Being able to multiply your investment by up to eight or even ten times, is a chance even a rich man might not be able to resist.

I'd guess he is around for a good while yet. But I wouldn't be staggered if that wasn't the case, though I would be disappointed.

I was watching Northern Ireland yesterday against France. I was quite impressed by Shea Charles. I've seen him a few times and I think he could make the step up and he's a homegrown player. Not sure how much he would cost though.

I’d like to think that Charles and Kelly would be in our thinking for additional squad depth. Both lads look good players and it won’t hurt having Ballard and Hume here if we were interested in them. I see Charles is linked with United so we’ll have competition but we are an attractive proposition in our own right these days.
