Nolan

Thats quite a coup.... getting that exclusive for his third post on X....

or that the player is currently in the middle of the CONCACAF cup tournament, and his national team is due to play Costa Rica at midnight.

We'll find out when he comes into training. He played in Japan's U21 game June 14th so will be back later than a lot of players.

Armstrong is a fantastic player in the Championship, but he's not made the leap and performed in the Premier League. 6 goals in 73 premier league assistances. 21 goals in 46 championship appearances. I just wonder if he'd be happy being into a new project only to not hit the heights in the top division again. It's almost fairer on him for him to play elsewhere.

Plans are currently in for a new Warehouse to replace the Old burnt out warehouse. 25/00284/FUL it lists the owner as Coal Pension Properties Ltd, so it does what it says on the tin. Its a Coal miners union pension investment. the plans were put forward based on the OLD city plan and not the 'renaissance' plan. I would hope whatever Dragan's plan are, it will involve buying this from them.

I'm not sure you're correct there. I would anticipate any indoor arena be to the South of the Site where the industrial estate is.

but red and white stripes dont sell, and you're losing a revenue stream by putting out a kit that people already own. You Dont have to do 'A' because 'A' has happened for a long time. Look at Goztepe, started off as yellow and red stripes, but evolved to just incorporating red an yellow. Theyve had halves, quarts and chequerboard. Last year had this. Identifiably Goztepe but doing something different. I hope at somepoint we're just red and white without relying on dull repetitive old stripes.

Dull, uninspiring, deckchair revisited. They don't sell as they're so similar to our oft visited stripes. The sooner we consistently move away from the barber shop sign the better.

Looks like Goztepe may get a big cash injection if the transfer of Romulo happens. RB Leipzigs offer of 16.5 million Euro (£14.05 million) has been rejected. Would be one heck of a turnaround in Profit. They only exercised the €2.5million "option to buy" 5 months ago.

Tall player. Long stride. Slower first few metres, but I'm pretty sure the Bundesliga official site will be diligent with their figures.

Before the first game of the season, Will Still will likely be the 17th Longest Serving Manager in the Championship?

the Bundesliga website that was posted earlier suggests otherwise. lists his speed as 33.95 Km/h

really? what basis do you have for the negativity? in Downs you get an aerial target due to his height. A player that's said to be positionally intelligent. Then you get the fact he's a good stylistic fit into a Will Still team. and Tim Lederer, the rumoured new Chief Scout is going to be very well versed in the unders' category so will have followed Downs for a lot longer than any international Stats site will have data for.

Well at least the red stripes may cover your nips. Judging from the fact the label is quite obvious, this material is really poor.

China make facsimiles of what they think the kit is. They just make assumptions based on what they know of puma kits and the 'leak'. I would also be surprised if it's sold without a logo in the UK so as it stands it will be pretty easy to spot those buying from bootleggers.

Nope, that was Dan Ashworth. Wilcox only started absorbing the recruitment roles after he left in December 24.

"reasonable" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. With Jim Ratcliffe Money Man U could have appointed anyone as DoF. He's obviously got something about him.

good luck to the Chinese bootleggers with that one.

to be fair to the original person they just could have misunderstood. "the club is gearing up for the new kit launch tomorrow, alongside the training kit stocked too" "tomorrow" maybe is referring to "gearing up for the new Kit Launch", rather than the actual date of the launch You could well spend a day prepping for the shop to ready for a Friday launch.

I would be surprised if its today. P & O Cruises parent company (Carnival) is based in the US and its a national holiday (Juneteenth) in the US today. Tomorrow would make more sense. P & O's Flagship Britannia is in, so are the Queen Anne and Queen Mary 2 (both Cunard, but still part of Carnival).

He actually is clear that he's fine if someone wants to come in as a co investor, but the likelihood of parting ways sounds negligible.

Very good complementary interviews. the Echo article spelling out Ankersson's and Kraft's remaining involvement, the Sounds article exuding straight talking and honesty. Very happy we're sticking with Dragan, and very happy Dragan's sticking with us. Hopefully we can move forward with some optimism.
