Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Right lubala signing today, Jacobs tomorrow. Craig is going to Orient. And we've turned down a 1 Million pound bid for Harvey Knibbs. Thanks Does that mean Orient are paying Craig 12k? Seems a bit unlikely. If not, he may be making a side-ways (at best) move for no good reason. It's great shame bec...

Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

Firstly, we know Couhig is a hard bastard in negotiations, it's how he bought the club. It's also safe to say most fans would view the likes of Wareham and Ehibhatiomhan as squad players and not first name on the teamsheet. Craig is a bit different that I think he is genuinely a top half L1 player ...

Re: Ex Royals

Paunovic is now a manager in La Liga with Oviedo, having secured promotion. Tigres fans in Mexico liked him a lot too I saw they'd been promoted, didn't know he was the manager. Pleased for him. Decent guy. When he's sat on the bench at Mastella or the Estadio Benito Villamarin he'll wonder where i...

Re: Ex Royals

We got rid of him because he was unprofessional and a bad influence on our younger players. Absolutely do not want him back. Which seems a bit strange, because both of his clubs in France (Bordeaux and Amiens) have emphasised his professionalism, his positive influence on the squad in general, and ...

Re: Ex Royals

Andy Carroll leaves FCGB to return to the UK.

11 goals in 21 games.

The praise from the club for him is really effusive. Unusually so.

Yay! Welcome back Pearcey.

Wonder if he'll be teaching step overs

Re: By Far The Greatest Team The World Has Ever Seen

At first I thought the title of the thread was a question.

The answer to which would be Brazil's World Cup squad of 1982.

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

I’d be up for changing our nickname back to The Biscuitmen. The Royal family haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory of late. Time to distance ourselves from them before one of them bangs a child and then buys them off again. +1000000 You know when some pr1ck at school gave themselves a nicknam...

Re: By Far The Greatest Team The World Has Ever Seen

I don’t think there are 600 odd better teams than us in the world. We're maybe similar standard to bottom third Eredivisie, bottom half Jupiler Pro-League, bottom third Portuguese, most of the Norwegian, Swedish leagues all bar the top two or three. I think any German, Italian, Spanish, French, Arg...

Brogue

Blue socks and shorts looks awful with it


Hmm, kind of agree - with shorts would have been a lot better.

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

It won't please everyone but I think it's a beauty. Both innovative and a nod to the town's industrial past. The colours are great.

Heritage and modernity at the same time. very clever. Well done.

Re: Ex Royals

Selles to Sheffield United?

Not an obvious choice, unless you have lots of young and inexperienced players you want to build a squad around over several seasons. If thats' the plan at Bramall Lane then good luck to them. If not, this could end in tears.

Re: Conflict of interests, the Hunt's

Given the emphasis Rob has already made about transparency in all financial affairs, I cannot see any danger of anything nefarious.

Of course if your brother is a well respected football agent and you're a manager in need of some new players, there's an obvious advantage.

Crusader Royal Mark Bowen appointed DOF at FGR.
Wonder what the odds on that would be ?


Will he be a success there? I wouldn't bet against it. Although he probably shouldn't.

Re: Rumour- Chem Campbell permanent

If Hunt thinks he's got a role in his system, I'm very happy to accept his judgement. The position he plays is more determined by the manager than the player himself. If he told to stay up high and wide that's what he'll do. From my viewpoint, he has patches of ten to fifteen minutes of being brilli...
