Greenridge

Well he's got a ready made excuse if it goes wrong. That's the only part I can't see fitting is why he took the role knowing (we have to assume this but it might not be the case) what was planned. Maybe he feels like he's in a no-lose position. If he pulls this one out of the fire his stock goes through the roof. If it fails then there was a myriad of reasons why. Of course if he's been brought in under false pretences the he'll be off before the season starts.

Owned by Dalian Wanda yes?

My guess is that KL has been unsuccessful in selling the club at whatever price so now she is generating as much cash as she can and will then market it again at a vastly reduced price.

Some totting up of salaries there when, other than Reed, NC was covering all those positions.

Always read your posts with interest. Regarding your first point I'm increasingly of the opinion someone is actually pushing the dominoes. I'd be interested to know why.

Our saviours? Markus and Nicola. They're gone I'm afraid.

Due to the risk involved (although recovery from ACL surgery is a long way forward from where it was 15 years ago) I'm guessing a reduced fee with significant add ons. I think it's becoming increasingly clear we are actively seeking sales of players as opposed to fending off. Quite what the end goal can be I have no idea.

28/1 to finish bottom with Skybet. Probably not been updated recently.

Has it dawned on them that we haven't got a paddle

Maybe the board aren't trying to stop the departures, despite what they say.

I mentioned elsewhere, a little tongue in cheek, that it's a possibility that we are actually touting our players to other clubs. Incredible as it seems, when you look at what's happening it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

lol

I know we've been setting all sorts of precedents this close season but selling a player who's not even returned to full training from an ACL has got to be a first.

Yes that's true. MLG has told me several times so this can't be true about Spurs.

There's always the possibility our players are being touted about. Unlikely, but nothing would come as a surprise in the current climate.

BBC Sport app says (referring to Chambers sale) we are 'poised to lose our 10th player of the window'. Now I know it's been hard to keep up with the outgoings but 10?

Any of them got boots?

Bearsy could you have a stab at writing the Club's statement?

Looks like they're leaving poor old Koeman to face the music alone. I'm guessing he might be asking himself what the hell he's let himself in for.....unless, of course he's comfortable with plans afoot.

Do you think that's how Les / Katharina sold it to Koeman."it's been a (cough) successful strategy used by the club in the past. In fact we had your countrymen Jan and Mark use it once before with Academy players and, erm,"

Is she in an open relationship?

Don't think we need to worry about a name for the 7th shirt just yet.

This. You can wrapped up in the definitive terminology being used but the club is losing it's assets, albeit for premium prices. At this point they are not being replaced on a 1:1 basis so yes we are losing our net assets whichever way you want to dress it up. Maybe we'll see replacements come in. Maybe.

Rumours seem to be his stock response to most questions about players - either incoming or outgoing.

If he's p1ssed off with what's happening then he'd make a pretty good poker player. Very upbeat and calm about the comings and goings. Sounded quietly confident and comfortable with the situation........
