That’s fair enough. He’ll not have mine and I reserve the right to rock up at the training ground and give him dogs abuse in front of his colleagues. Just so his colleagues and the club understand that there’s some of us think he’s a rat and he won’t be forgiven.

You won’t turn up at the training ground. I’d wager you’ve not even been to a game this season, never mind the training ground.
 
People going on about morals. We can all judge other people’s morals. I’ve judged a few who are doing the judging. You can’t go on about protecting one protected characteristic and hate on others or laugh at the birth facial disfigurements of our own coach. Bored with it now. If Henderson the Mackem plays for us he gets my backing.

some fall off for them in my mind and highlights their poor recruitment

pep has spent a fortune and the only way it’s worked for the most part is that he’s had that many rolls of the dice is ended out on top

they pulled out of the wirtz deal, when in actuality he turned them down

speaks volumes

this cherki is a maverick, pep will ruin him
 
He made a mistake and admitted moving to Saudi wasn’t a good idea…

The contract would not have exactly been pushed under his nose and he would not have been forced to sign it there and then. He would have had plenty of time to ponder. The fact he even would consider it and wrestle with his moral code would have surprised me. A resoundingly instant 'no' would have been my bet. He must have known that the shiny moral pedestal that he built himself would have been pulled from underneath him. And youd think an extra '0' on his bank balance would not have been worth the ridicule and embarrassment. But obviously, to him, it was. Basically, he ended up making himself look like a right twat. Ive no time for him at all.
 
Correct. But in our current situation as a newly promoted team, adding Championship players to a Championship squad is just asking to go back down, look at Ipswich.

The ones that have been a success have nearly all been added to teams already secure at the level. Palace with Olise, Eze and Wharton, Villa with Rogers, Bournemouth with Semenyo and Tavernier. Missing loads more. But they all went to clubs not really fighting relegation.

Ipswich signed arguably some of the best Championship players in Clarke, Szmodics, Greaves and more but they signed way too many at the same time and didn't supplement the squad with top quality players. Plus the fees are extremely extortionate compared to what you could pay shopping abroad.

Not saying we shouldn't do it but you need to be extremely careful.
I kinda wonder if they’re a bit of a mess tbh. Massive squad with some square pegs in round holes. Little chance of keeping the whole squad happy. It wouldn’t totally surprise me if they underwhelm next season.

I wonder what they’d rate Greaves at now. I thought he was quality at Hull but not sure how he performed overall last season for Ipswich
 
Not worth betting on... I remember doing well when Gus pulled off the great escape

Best bet I had on was for Sunderland to finish the highest north east team, didn't realise at the time Hull had been included.

That was the season we finished 5th off bottom ahead of Boro, the mags and Hull (and west Brom)

Yeah. I’ve seen a good few on here judging you when they’ve called you a prick amongst other names. Seems I’m in good company.
 
Cant wait to see more players linked in the coming weeks! So exciting. I have massive confidence in the club bringing in the rights players.

Guessing the players return to training on 1st july, fingers crossed we have a couple in by then nice and early
 
A post on French twitter claim we’ve enquired about Quentin Merlin, left back from Marseille. Anyone know much about him? I remember him being a wonder kid left back on Fifa career mode a few years ago.

my wiki scouting says he was only signed by Marseille for 12m last year and seems to have played plenty. You’d think even with our prem money he’d be a stretch
