It'll obviously be difficult to move him on when he'll be on a more than reasonable contract and has consistently struggled since he's arrived at the club. I'll be very surprised if he's here beyond next summer though. At worst we'll have to loan him out for the season and shoulder a sizeable...

We don't. There's several other more crucial priorities that need addressing first before a secondary left back. I'd say that's pretty much near the bottom of the list.

We weren't going to ever bring a LB in unless one of Dasilva or Bidwell were moved on. Keeping Bidwell makes sense. He'll likely be put on a lesser contract, and he has invaluable experience that is sorely lacking in this team. I don't really get the doom and gloom about retaining him to be...

Not every player has to be signed with a long-term future in mind. Sometimes players are brought in to simply act as a temporary stopgap. If he's coming in I wouldn't be all that surprised if it's just on a deal until the end of the season. That being said, this does feel a bit of a...

Presume that's either Allen or Bidwell?

Thought it was Alexandre Pato for a second

King can't just sack everyone in one fell swoop. It's hugely expensive and not all that practical. Sacking the club's Head of Recruitment also sends a pretty strong message that the existing 'deck' isn't as top draw as he's publicly claimed.

Shmeee said he met him once though?? I honestly don't know what to believe at this point.

But the dates look at the dates!!!!!

For a role like Badlan's I suspect he would've had to give sufficient notice if he wanted to leave, at least a month, possibly more. So the process of searching for his replacement would've probably begun some time before the announcement of his departure, and likely before DK had any kind of...

He was appointed to the role of Head of Recruitment when he initially joined, same position as Badlan when he left. Please enlighten me on how it was different. Did Austin get a lanyard in a different shade of blue?

SISU wouldn't have been involved in his appointment. Joy didn't even recruit Dave Boddy directly iirc. That was left to Fisher.

Genuinely I'd love you to tell me where I was wrong. This is hilarious.

Chris Badlan. He left for Blackpool to become their Sporting Director and our head scout Stuart Benthom joined him.

Shock horror football club replaces head of recruitment after sudden departure!!! You've cracked it. Deep state was 100% involved.

Oh right of course I forgot we didn't appoint one when we were considerably worse off in L1.

Sorba Thomas at one point I really rated. But he clearly has the attitude of a petulant 15 year old teenager who's been dragged on an all inclusive holiday with his family against his will so it's a no from me.

You have no idea when conversations between the club and Austin first started though. It's complete conjecture and speculation.

If you look at the incomings so far on BBC Sport. Pretty much half of the Championship if not more haven't done any business.
