King Claudio

Can't remember the last time I had a hard copy of a payslip. Thought they bit the dust with cheque books.

Agreed casadei didn't work here but we absolutely need midfielders, especially if KDH goes. I think we are going to struggle getting players through the door and in my opinion our lack of midfielders post Christmas after casadei left was reason for drop on form. Striker would be nice but would rather defence and midfielders

It would be good for a new manager to be employed before the players report back for pre season to give time to sort the back office stuff first. Enzo did that really well - remember in his first weeks he was brutal with getting backroom staff out and new ones in. Apparently made changes to training ground so it was just way he wanted. You are right though, I'd like to think they are not "messing around" but assessing who is available and the right fit.

Like Steve cooper good?

This is the the point I acknowledged what he did. I respectfully disagree about the style. It is possible to enjoy different styles of play.

Yeah deadly. I'll always be grateful for what he did, turned us around, great infrastructure, worked well with young players etc. Of course there were exceptions such as the man u game, the league 1 season was decent, I generally thought we were more workmanlike, turgid and quite direct. But each to their own.

Pearson football was definitely not entertaining

For years wanted us to move away from those tinpot companies like Jako, JJB etc. Those Macron kits look dreadful. None of that castore, warrior, all makes you find in the cheap part of sports direct.

The best approach I believe is to utilize one of our best assets - Seagrave. Get an experienced coach who is strong at developing young players, coupled with a director of football. Should reduce our ridiculous wage bill and continue the approach which appeared to work for us of unearthing gems and selling off an asset a year.

Vincent kompany shows how you can lose your stock quickly. Got Burnley promoted at a canter. Rumoured to be in for spurs job. Can't imagine he'd get anything like now. Enzo may want to cash in while stock is high

Not heard that expression for years - very retro. Did make me laugh.

He's not really going to go for that though is he? Still young, sounds like he had a decent loan spell recently and caps for Italy. Think he'd have to have pretty low self esteem to accept an appearance based deal.

Didn't we also have a bid in for mcatee on deadline and he chose Sheffield utd? Surely that money would still be there?

Anyone got any good parking/ pre match pub recommendations?
