doesn’t make it correct though

must be true then! Mark was on a fixed term contract until 2027 I believe, so if we (the club) decided to terminate early we would have had to pay him off - we can’t simply put him on garden leave and avoid that… and certainly can’t sack a manager and then get paid compensation when they join...

…sort of 😬

what said they’d have to pay compo? on garden leave we would have been paying his salary, and other entitlements, and depending on his notice period (if such a thing exists in managers’ contracts) he would’ve just ridden it out and then joined Stoke to avoid any compensation, which would be...

what did we get paid for Robins?

so to cut across the various tangents that have arisen….. a winger, either Jordan James or Sorba Thomas, has flown in today, to be announced tomorrow?

not if you set off from Southampton….

fair point, and genuine answer, possibly yes, but I wasn’t asking about what funds were available (even though the suggestion was there were funds and now there aren’t), or what financial backing was promised or otherwise my question was whether there were any suggestions of friction I knew...

no, as I’m pretty sure I didn’t say ‘there is conflict between DK and Frank’ - I asked the question based on the suggestion there is now no money available whereas a couple of weeks ago there apparently was which, if true, would frustrate me if I were in Frank’s shoes and faced with the current...

no it wouldn’t, and genuine question @MalcSB and @Littlewood CCFC - I haven’t heard anything but given the assumption Lampard would’ve taken the job on the guarantee of funds and the ability to add to the team (might not be true, but I can’t imagine it isn’t) it’s a bit of a worry if it’s now...

have you heard anything about any early friction between Frank and DK?

we apparently had a bid accepted in June for James but he wanted too much and we couldn’t agree salary package… we’d be going back cap in hand now….

exactly this - the ‘spine’ is good, Dovin, Kitch (if he applies himself like he did yesterday), Sheaf, Wright and actually even Simms have shown enough that most people can see they have qualities of top level footballers. MVE, Saka, EMC and Torp are also very good footballers on their day -...

I’m not sure you can blame Lampard for losing the culture, Robins arguably destroyed what he had built with his decisions in respect of backroom / coaching staff, and again particularly the decision to part ways with AV. Lampard can’t be expected to build / rebuild a culture in a couple of...

I’m still giving Torp the benefit of the doubt, but there are admittedly a few players that have shown they are not good enough at this level, at least as starters Lats and JDS still decent squad options though I also think there’s a lack of appreciation amongst some as to how much Callum...

well I say that, it was hinted it was him - a Chelsea prospect and sounded like Kellyman

only a loan deal, and he’s been mentioned before - Omari Kellyman

I would normally give GIMOC rumours little to no credibility as 99% are horseshit, however I did hear recently we were in for a winger, but they wouldn’t be ‘flying in’ unless they didn’t fancy a couple of hours up the M40

I don’t think in the main it’s a lack of ability, I think it’s a mix of application, attitude and frustration by way of example, Kitch looked good yesterday so he can play, and if he concentrates and applies himself to the task at hand he is probably our best centre half, but his attitude has...

he did - he headed one back from an attacking position into our half and almost set up a a Norwich counter attack
