HoylandOwl Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 According to this we will lose Marv, and FDB but the latter isn’t really a surprise. Quote

He could/should be playing higher but this is where money comes into non league football. Basford have some serious backing behind them at the moment and big plans. They've upgraded the infrastructure and playing surfaces and they have a full time academy, with a link to a local college, and a massive junior section. The lower aspects of the club are self sufficient leaving the sponsorship and backing to be solely focused on the first team. Quote
HoylandOwl Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Dele Bashiru on the verge of signing for some Turkish club … Hatyaspor or summat Quote
M42Owl Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 I don't wish FDB any ill will but I suspect that in 18 months he'll be back in league 1 or, at best, at a bottom half championship team. 2 Quote

He might not fancy any of the players we might be ‘looking at’ behind the scenes, or who DM might have wanted/shortlisted. It’s not the greatest position to be in as a club right now, is it? We’ve got a ‘list’ of players apparently Bells, that have been identified already and DC said in midweek along the lines of… The list is the list and the manager will be aware of it. Quote
Laceups Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Would you sign for a club not knowing who your manager will be? Basically we need to get sorted and appoint someone this week. Please not Paul Ince 😬 Edited June 25, 2023 by Laceups Quote

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 It's pretty simple really, DC has spelt it out. The manager does not pick the players, at best he contributes to the discussion. Read Soccernomics, bit out of date now but really sets out the modern approach. You have a squad of players A head coach comes in to manage that squad of players If the head coach isn't performing you get rid of him, not the players. Quote

Please not Paul Ince 😬 Apart from its a head coach these days not manager So no you wouldn't come with uncertainty surrounding who your coach will be, but players presumably grasp the idea, that they come to play for a Club not a Manager these days. Eg players will join Brentford because of the culture promoted, less that Thomas Frank is the manager Edited June 25, 2023 by mkowlthesexynewversion Quote
TheExile Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Whilst we have a pretty crude way of doing it and without a formal Sporting Director it’s quite common for potential targets to be dealt with by people other than the manager ie club rather than manager targets. Hopefully someones speaking to players and agents otherwise we are Donald ducked for the free agents Quote
Andyben Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Let's see what happens on 1st July. Maybe some surprise announcements for the playing staff. Quote
Andyben Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Question. Would losing Smith and Gregory to sign Moreleos and Twine (Loan) be a step forward? Quote

On paper of course but neither of those two new boys would give you the option smith does (hard work, physicality, aerial presence in both boxes) which is always handy in any league IMO. Don’t think smith will be first choice but hopefully we keep hold or get someone similar Quote
HoylandOwl Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 This says we're after Ellis Simms. Somehow I can't see us getting him. Quote
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 It will be interesting to see if we sign anyone until we get a new “Head Coach”, but times ticking on so you’d think there will be some business being progressed, right? Quote

Imagine some fans of theirs may be underwhelmed by this. He's a freebie for a squad place. I doubt he'll start much, apart from their cup games, and he gets to put Premier League on his CV. Quote
Tylluan Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Mads Anderson more or less a done deal to Luton after the player turned down a late offer from Standard Liege. Personal terms agreed but Barnsley trying to hold out for £1.2m initial payment. Quote
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 Was BPF that different to Dawson from what we have seen in the last couple of seasons, not in my book. I think we either need someone that will take the GK jersey and push Dawson or go with Dawson to Christmas and see how he goes. Quote
LiamOwl Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 So either replace him or don’t? Yeah I agree. Quote
TheExile Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 All about opinions I guess but I see Dawson as a top end L1 and lower end champ keeper. Whereas BPF is a champ keeper with a bit more potential hence the move to Burnley in the first place Quote
Tylluan Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 Us, Plymouth, and Millwall are sniffing round Huddersfield's Josh Koroma who's stalling on signing a new contract and is a free agent on July 1st Quote
