How involved was MR with this recruitment and interview process? From what I can remember of the quotes at the time Doug and Dr.Roberts seem to have interviewed? I'm sure MR gave them a Person Spec he was looking for, but I'm not sure he had much influence on the individuals appointed.

The Stamenic deal falling through still has ripples. As it was so public (from RS Belgrade) we were on the verge on signing him, it became obvious to Browne he was only a 'back up' plan. The vibes were that Browne wanted to join, but then turned away when he felt slighted (understandably). We...

Turner said it the one they were after has fell through :(

Yeah, don't think we will premier an 'change' kit until QPR

I honestly think we are being punished for the online leak about 2 months ago. 'You already know the away kit, so if someone is going to spoil the reveal, then the rest of you will have to wait' or the rumoured black/gold 3rd gets moved up to away kit and makes the original leak look stupid.

It isn't so easy to 'bin' players on contracts as many seem to imply. The example of Moore last year indicates it might be more difficult to move on GK's than any other position (as there are such limited squad slots for them). Unfortunately, Collins isn't what we thought he was when buying him...

Bernede and Alvyn Sanches are both starting for Lausanne this afternoon. So a deal isn't imminent. They are owned by INEOS so don't need to sell to survive. They signed Bernede for €2M a couple of years back, so I think it will take €4-5M to get him.

This. Need a steadying influence in defence at times. Even if it diverts from the model a bit, an experienced stopper would add value especially when trying to close out games. CM - a '6' type that can break up opposition attacks, recycle and get us on the transition. I'd rather try to give...

I agree with the above. I bought a Talbot T shirt. I'm a 40' chest and M is fits ok.

I haven't trawled through all the pages so don't know if its been mentioned. Clive on on CWR sport at 6 a week or so ago said he heard Cal had a deal in place with Blues that went belly up when they were relegated. Big wages promised. So, in comparison, he has done OK with Sheffield Utd 🤣 Just...

That will be a useful windfall then. I would be stunned if he is still at SU in September. He was by far their best player in PL & has nothing to prove in the Champ. Hopefully Gus will go to Fulham to replace Paulinha & cull their interest in Sheaf.

Its normally 10% on profit. Seems they are touting him at the £15m they agreed with us. Therefore we may not get much of a cut on this. However, bear in mind SU points deduction is for not paying transfer installments on time, we might at least get paid what we are owed on time.

Hartel signed for an MLS team, can't remember which one! I would also have liked to have seen him here.

I was hopeful, then the GI-MOCkers were put on it :(

I know there is an obsession with former Loan players in general. However, do you think MR might be tempted to offer Liam Walsh a 2 year (or 1+1) deal? Arguably he would have Torp, Sheaf & Eccles in front of him, competing with Allen to be 4th/5th CM. This is a role that would get 20 starts max...
