Oh so insightful, worth the sharing for sure 🙄

What did you hear?

Hope this isn’t a repeat of signing players who could become good rather than players who improve our starting XI now.

Given he played 29 games I’d be surprised to see him drop down a league. Do wba have cash to splash now then?!

Yeah looks like both u21 and u18 are having a bit of a reshuffle

According to Secret Scout on Twitter it appears we are about to lose Mcfarlane to Chelsea. Odd timing given we just let Rusk go when McFarlane took his job when Rusk stepped up to help out.

What would make a red and white stripe shirt a saints shirt then?

Rusk appears to be the victim of our lack of success last year. Moved up from u21’s but then his job there was filled by someone else. i wasn’t surprised to see by helping us out has effectively done himself out of a job

Regarding Armstrong, is this a different story from the one Alfie said on the TSP on Sunday? On that he said he wouldn’t be surprised if Archer Armstrong and BBD were available if someone offered for them but wouldn’t be surprised if any of them stayed or went.

Will be an accounting profit though so good news

Doesn’t mention identifying players though, that sounds more about fees and contracts rather than who to buy

Took those saints accounts on Twitter minutes to lift bits from the article to share on their accounts. That’s worse

Least it means the main sponsor won’t be a gambling company though

It would be an accounting profit because his original transfer fee will be amortised across the duration of his contract.

The benefit of a plain back is it’s better for a sponsor logo

Thought as much.

How are Leicester getting on at shifting their deadwood? Assume they have sold all of theirs already right?

Just seen somebody moaning in X that it’s a poor appointment because he has been at clubs relegated twice and we should have been going for someone like the Portugal U19 coach instead. some people just think football manager is how real life is 😂

I’m hoping we have scouts all over the U21 tournament currently. Some good options there for us surely

Ben Chorley has been appointed Head of UK Scouting, having previously been Sporting Director at French side Valenciennes

Exactly that. age doesn’t matter but you need players who are at a certain level now not potential to be. They can be bench opens but our starting XI all need to be at the required level needed to push for promotion

West Ham after Sanchez from Chelsea. Worked under Potter at BHA.

Only negative on home kit is it looks like it’s a plain red back and the logo looks to be a sticker, but least it’s not a big rectangular one.

He got us promoted and seems a good guy, I wish him well at Rangers - feel free to sign some of our squad. yeah he failed in PL but Scotland is a 2 team league of which Rangers have finished second for many a year, so good luck to him I say.
