I suspect SD and MG had a fall-out last week. It was rumored we were letting two of our stars go ( Tarks and I assume Dwight) and SD threatened to walk. At that point MG may have said that no one will leave but that means no one comes in. Another reason Wilson is not happening, and why Dwight today has been turned down.It might alsp suggest why SD has backed off somewhat lately and now in acceptance of the situation
Would SD be happy with one or two disgruntled players on his hands if they were keen to move but their transfers were blocked? Hasn't the Gibson saga been an eye opener?

White flag has well and truly been raised this year. I would be very interested to see the season ticket retention levels too should we drop, I think they'll be alarmingly low with the world as it is now..

I've heard that Leicester are in for Dwight but we've blocked the transfer. But Dwight wants the move.

I get that the above looks like the usual shite people post but I'm only passing on what I've heard from a mate who knows one of the family.
Given his recent lacklustre performance that comes as no surprise.

They were rumoured to be looking at a cheap deal for Snodgrass yesterday as well.

Ryan Christie on the move ?

He won't be cheap, it's the hope that kills you.

United HAVE enquired about Tarks......

We’ve asked for Jones plus cash and Lingard on loan....

Swindon have asked to take Benson on loan

Lingard on loan would be superb business, providing they pay a chunk of the wages.

Tbh, I think they’d drop anyway post covid - fans out of the habit of going, many will have lost their jobs, etc - but they certainly will if we don’t invest in the squad. Why should the fans keep shelling out if the club are showing no ambition?

Conversely, if we signed one or two exciting prospects you could imagine them holding a lot better than they otherwise would.

bit of a dilemma really, we clearly have a great manager in sean dyche but he took the job willingly having been sacked.
Albeit that was 8 years ago and an awful lot has happened since.
He must have had discussions back then about finances, but we were promoted and that changed things drastically.
whatever criticisms are been levelled at the club now, have cropped up previously around transfer deadlines. surely it cant surprise any of us .
despite it all we managed respectable very decent high finishing positions.
bit late in the day for sharpening the knives don't you think?

At least with no new player contracts to sort out, Mike can dedicate his time to sorting out season ticket refunds.

I think with the lack of investment into the team they will be a lot of season ticket refunds for the club to work through once the window slams shut with ****** off fan's,

I'm actually finding this hard to comprehend. We are not even being linked with a player. There is literally nothing happening.

This is going to be a horrific season.

We’ll go with what we have ( and Stephens). 2/10 think we needed a 7 or 8 out of 10 this time after a few poor ones. With an ageing squad and contracts coming to an end it’s not a rebuilding job that Garlick could cope with but he’ll be gone by then no doubt and counting his cash somewhere.

Genuine question. Let's say... and I know this a big ask, but let's say JBG now goes the season without injury. Mee comes back so we have JT and Mee back where they belong.

Could we survive without any new players?

It would be:

Pope
Bardsley/Lowton Tarks Mee Taylor
JBG Brownhill Westwood McNeil
Wood Barnes

The likes of Jay, Pieters, Cork, Vydra, Stephens fills the bench.

Yes, I think we can but we’re relying on a fair bit of good fortune if we’re thinking like that.

Ligue 1 side Angers have confirmed the surprise departure of 19-year-old French youth international central midfielder Anthony Gomez Mancini to Premier League side Burnley.

This is a loan with an option to buy, the size of which is undisclosed but is not believed to be above the €3m mark.

I did actually consider adding Tom Ince and James McLean...but thought better as one is an ex-B*stard and the other causes some controversy about this time of year. We already have enough to deal with as it is :lol:

I've done some good work today, so good that I forget its TDD, then I remember so come to check if we've signed anyone.

It certainly is the hope that kills you...

Can I swap my season ticket for one for the U23's?

Steve Stone seems to have a bigger transfer budget than Sean Dyche!

Genuine question. Let's say... and I know this a big ask, but let's say JBG now goes the season without injury. Mee comes back so we have JT and Mee back where they belong.

Could we survive without any new players?

It would be:

Pope
Bardsley/Lowton Tarks Mee Taylor
JBG Brownhill Westwood McNeil
Wood Barnes

The likes of Jay, Pieters, Cork, Vydra, Stephens fills the bench.
We possibly could, but we need Dwight to recapture his form, I would certainly be more confident in that back 5 keeping a few clean sheets, and if we can start doing that again, we've a much greater chance of digging a few 1-0 wins out, and although it might not be pretty it could just be enough to ensure another year at this level.

We'd also need to be incredibly lucky regarding injuries, suspensions aren't as much of an issue, we rarely get them.

Our defence at full strength, and the 4 forwards are perfectly adequate for this league, ad they've proven time and again, however our lack of creativity in the midfield is a concern, if we could get Dwight on one side, and Guddy on the other at their best, we suddenly look a much tougher proposition for the opposition.

I'd laugh if it wasn't this bad

Anthony Gomez Mancini

Just signed for U23's!.....

I watched quite a lot of Angers last season, while I was following Angelo Fulgini, but I never saw anything of this lad.

To summarise we basically sat around, allowing Angers time to sell on Santamaria and Rayan Ait Mouri. That shored up their cash reserves and gave them the financial freedom to give a new contract to Fulgini.

And now we loan an attacking midfielder off them, who they don't feel is good enough to fill the current gap in their first team or play for them in the future, with a £2-3m buy option attached to him.

I hope that he is a hidden gem, we could have got a quality Championship player in this window for that price. So much for Garlick not wanting to open our cheque book.
