I assumed you'd meant a home she had up here. Not sure how selling a house 200 miles away would be relevant to her interest or ability to run BWFC. If anything, you could suggest she might be moving closer.

Had to double check I was right because I thought i remembered reading it, but Sanmi Odelusi got sent down last year for 7 years. Wrong'un.

Yeah, there's nothing in it.

If anything he'll get a much tougher ride, especially if there turns out to be no leadership contest, the lack of mandate and publicly laid out policies will harm him and lead to pressure for a GE. But, I do believe he will have a much better grasp of his comms and getting a better message out there than Starmer was able to.

Yeah I'm still fairly certain that Luca Stephenson isn't coming here. Think we have done a deal for a backup versatile CB. Info has dried up a bit though, apparently an email went around about leaks, think a lot was getting out on Twitter as well as trickling down to me.

Apologies, got this one wrong, jumped the gun I think. Schumacher still doesn't think he's the right profile.

Not a rumour, I've just been looking at some Championship free agents to see what that market looks like. I wouldn't mind bringing Jonathan Panzo in, just had 6 months at Birmingham, bounced around a bit so far but 25 and athletic. Think we need some bodies in at centre half and early so we can get a partnership together that works and can hit the ground running.

I don't know, all I've heard is that initially Schumacher wasn't sure that he was the way to go, but now it sounds like it's done so something must have changed in the meantime. That's assuming the bit about Schumacher not being sure is true, I still don't really know who/where this info comes from, it's just always pretty nailed on.

I agree, think its a smart signing in a business sense but a risky one in a footballing sense, I'd like to see us add another right back, someone like Christie but without the lead weights for legs ideally.

It is, not as nailed on as the Davies deal was though, few more moving parts with a transfer with a fee I suppose 🤷🏻‍♂️

I believe Luca Stephenson might be done, I'd heard initially that Schumacher wasn't too keen but sounds like he must have changed his mind or been convinced by Fergal that its a smart move.

Acting like the mere suggestion is some sort of insult. Odd behaviour.

Yeah I would agree with most of the verdicts, it's a fine signing and one in happy enough with. When it comes to the defence as a whole though, Christie triggered an extension but I hope that doesn't dissuade us from signing two new right backs, I would also look to get a bit of money for Toal and add another two CBs on top of Davies signing. I'd loan Temple and Inwood out to get some football league experience as well ideally. I believe we are also after an experienced left back to help out Conway. Not Matt Targett though.

Experience and quality on a free, I'm fine with it without being blown away. If he's joined by one or two others with a bit more athleticism then it's hard to find fault.

If you click on Casino's name, on the right hand side of his profile page (or directly in the middle under his name on mobile) is a button that says message. Then it takes you to a screen that looks like an email, that's how you would send him a private message if you wanted.

Maybe Fossey isn't completely out of the question then

No, Luton had just just been relegated, he had spent their Prem season on loan at Barnsley. Was on the bench for a game early on before he went there though.

Not sure how you figure that, Johnston is 27 and never played above League 1 level. This lad spent several years at the heart of a mid-table Preston defence before earning a move to Liverpool and has since, earned playoffs with Sheffield United, been sold for £3m, played Champions League football and then won League 1 with Birmingham. Safe to say it's a fairly significant upgrade in quality and experience.

Well it's Ben Davies, former Preston, Liverpool, Rangers left sided centre half. I'm lead to believe that's done, good experienced defender for the level, struggled with injuries last year on loan at Oxford but a clear upgrade over Johnston for me. There's a left back as well, similar level of experience at the level but don't think that's as close.

I know the name but don't think it's my place to put it out there, as I've said before I'm not and don't claim to be ITK. A friend knows a friend who is involved so I share the tidbits I hear without being so blunt as to jeopardise potential transfers or the fella's job. I won't bother if people don't want to hear it.

As far as I've heard, Iles has this one right. Don't believe we've even bid for the lad, Schumacher doesn't see him as a fit. We do have that experienced Centre Half I mentioned I'd heard about coming in imminently.

I believe Plymouth paid over a mil for him last summer, would take 3 or 4 times that to get him in now. Think I said at the time we should have been all over that deal.

Has the function of clicking the star or dot on a thread to take you to your first unread post, gone? If so that's a shame, I may just not have found the sweet spot to click it yet, though.

I must admit, as much as I respect most rights for people's freedom of religious expression, I've never understood why these ceremonial items actually need to be sharp. Surely serve the same purpose if they're blunt and unedged.

Based on the graphic alone without context it suggests he's not the best at passing through lines and splitting defences from deep, but will attack the box, take good shots and be fairly efficient with them. Gets stuck in with the defensive work well enough and, strangely, a very good crosser. Basically, a younger and hopefully better Dempsey.
