WestYorksRoyal Ultimately if Noel and Brian think he'd be a good signing then I'll go with that. If we could get him close to his peak he would tear up L1. I just suspect they won't go for him.

Forbury Lion Possible spin off thread, but Panini have signed a deal with the EFL so expect to see our players appearing as Panini stickers.

Will Infantino manage to get himself his own golden sticker in that collection as well?

(Classic cross thread/cross forum tie up there! )

half times shows booked for the matches featuring 'superstars' Balvin, Doja Cat and Tems obv, who?! etc. but how long is it until they announce that HT is to be longer than 15 minutes? I read that they were booked for the half time show at the actual Final, rather than at half time for random games...

Whilst not a transfer as such (as it is a player leaving a side rather than joining one) but I thought it was worth a mention. Scott Carson will leave Manchester City this Summer at the end of his contract. He has been at the club for 6 Years, 2 of them initially on loan from Derby, joining permanen...

It would be a yes from me; I think the guy has potential to be a very good L1 player.

In addition, he knows the team (and they know him), and so it is a low risk signing for us (especially if its a free).

This is a non news story regurgitated from last week by a Wales paper....the quote from Savage is a non quote as it says Savage is "believed" to want a move to the champ to get back in the Wales squad. He only made the full squad once.....was a back up player and players pulled out. Prett...

What hasn't been mentioned is that, as well as flying 6,600 miles to Malaysia, 3 of the players (Maguire, Onana and Dalot) then flew to Mumbai for a meet and greet for club sponsor Apollo Tyres, before then flying to Hong Kong to conclude the tour.

Utter madness.

I presume Leicester have reported a £201.6m loss in just 1 year as 3 years * £83m = £249m? And when does the PL season for them run to now? £83m was the total for the 3 years and £201.6m was what they reported for that period Thanks for clarifying, mis-read the op :oops: That is some failure :shock...

Brogue Selles to Huddersfield

I tell you what Saints should take a long hard look and bring Selles back in

They are talking about that English guy from Lens?

"The manager, Noel Hunt, will be staying after doing a hugely impressive job in difficult circumstances since replacing Rubén Sellés in December." Confirmation - and great news! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/may/19/new-reading-owner-rob-couhig-there-is-a-real-market-for-the-efl...

"The manager, Noel Hunt, will be staying after doing a hugely impressive job in difficult circumstances since replacing Rubén Sellés in December."

Excellent news!

Really good interview, also seem to have beaten all the local media to everything again (god, just what is the point in Tim or the Chronicle)? So, anyway, there’s Dogwood Football LLC which is the parent company and owns all other related companies. Apparently named for the type of tree outside Rob...

He is also ploughing his way through one of the chicks from Sky Sports, hence why he said he wants to move to the English league Bit more to it than that. https://talksport.com/football/3025543/emma-saunders-lens-fans-supporters-will-still/ Many thanks to TalkSport for their invaluable translation ...

Brogue good for us as wycombe will be nothing next season. would much prefer Charlton to go up, as i'd have them as favorites to win the league next season

Cardiff will be favorites I suspect.

I wonder how many games RC and Todd will be attending? it`s not exactly on their doorstep is it. Neither was Wycombe to be fair. Suspect they will attend more regularly than Dai Yonge but less regularly than Sir John Madejski :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: With insight like that Forbes, you should b...

Charlton complete Wycombe's season ends' implosion to get to the final. On April 18th, with 3 games left, Wycombe were 2nd on 84 points, with Wrexham 3rd on 83; Wycombe had just beaten Bolton (then still in the hunt for a play off spot) away from home, whilst Wrexham had drawn at home to soon to be ...

Very senior sales job (he just landed a role this week; £130k basic.........not for me thanks! :D ) The point about OOC players is a valid one; we - as fans - don't really think about players as "workers" per se, and when a player leaves our club due to not being offered a new contract, we...

Why anyone would want to be a football manager is beyond me. There's so many stories of managers getting like 16 games then getting sacked. It's a total gamble and rarely is to do with the talent or knowledge of the manager it seems. It must be so difficult for a manager to move location, walk into...

Whilst there is no need for the new Management to make a public show of support to Noel (he has another Year of his contract left IIRC), I think it would be a nice gesture for them to do so.

That is bloody crazy!

He kept them up; wasn't that the brief??

I am truly amazed; presumably they are lining up a counter-offer for Ancelotti to get him in now?

Mental.
