What are EFL clubs asking for to keep them afloat this season - half that? Not down to the govt to sort this mess out

Bit worrying that , who were the club trying to move on ?

Then again when agents are involved (we) it's probably all smoke & mirrors.

FWIW even given his propensity to drop the odd bollock he's got to be better than Santos.

One thing I picked out- he didn't go back to training as he hadn't been given an offer.

I might be missing something but could that have been the deciding factor?

Turn up to training, and show what you can do. Ok, he may have been messed around, but had he turned up and not been offered one, then he's more of a case. 

A poor do whatever the reality of the situation, not good having club's laundry washed in public.

If this decision had been made 3 games ago, I doubt any of us would have given it much thought. 

I’d imagine we’d have been reading things like, in IE we trust, he’s no better than we already have, he always had a fuck up or 2 in him, serves him right putting trust in his greedy agent etc etc.

Despite the defending being the most alarming disappointment of the season so far, I’m still not venturing away from trusting IE to know best. He’s the one seeing these players everyday, I’m not going to pretend I know better than him despite me currently also having doubts about some of these defenders.

Yes good point it’s all a little scatty

It was Brockbank.

Doesn’t make sense to me.

I thought all issues like this were caused by king ken and his son?

You're getting confused with "offering contracts" and "honouring contracts"

Zouma signed for Barrow.

That may come back to bite our arse!

Sounds like we are going to need right back cover so hopefully a suitable loan can be done this week.

Shame for Jones as I think he has been one of the better Summer signings.

Yes, we need a dedicated right back IMO especially as Jones is likely to be out for a while.

Jak Hickman is your dedicated right back.

We have 2 others who've played there too.

[Kane57]

Hickman is too good going forward to be restricted to defensive work. Leave that to those who can't play football

I think Hickman is a good wing back but not sure about his defensive ability. I’d prefer we strengthened there but we all see it differently.

Heard they're bringing in a player from Marseille to link up with him, a bit of a French Connection.

Hopefully he'll be as fast as a Bullitt
