They were “relaxed” about it as Les Reed would have said. Naive and feeble seems more like it.

You say “got away with”. Is there actually any stipulation from the league over this ? As for the patches on the back, this seems a bit of a throw back to another era. When I first started following football (late 60’s) some players would have a white patch and number on the back, others with just a black number. The team would be a mixture on the same day. Seem to recall Newcastle would also often have a patch on the back.

In the unlikely event he’s appointed can’t see him starting a press conference (as did Mark Hughes) saying he has “an affinity” with the club.

Oh okay didn’t know that.

Looks Cheltenham or Exeter to me

Think Brentford and Bournemouth have managed to keep striped backs haven’t they ?

Have to wonder what is wrong or up with our people in the Commercial Dept or wherever to fuck it up like this. For me it’s stripes or not at all (“Stripes mean Stripes” ffs.) If it isn’t front and back then abandon them altogether and go for r/w halves, quarters, or Keegan era. (Sash for occasion or anniversaries).

Have I missed something?

“Makes it clear he is running the show..” was the message. Shame it was left to Parsons at the end of the season. I was looking for a post at some point in the last 12-18months re changes either in the board or of ownership. I thought at one point Solak had extended this to two others from his media group, the Gerkin bloke (can’t easily forget that name) - although think he was then put into Goztepe/ and his former CEO at the media outfit, Victorya Boklag (or similar) but can’t trace it. Any recollection from others ? Question in my mind is who will be conducting the internal review, Dragan himself, or others?

Wonder what the talk will be this year, and whether Dragan will be so hospitable.

Some interesting mock ups there. Certainly like the third kit option c) sky and navy halves, reminiscent of the 1980-4 away kit in those colours

Witn the FA investigation and charges looming it seems unlikely to me that Tonda will be in charge for the first five games.

What I find staggering is how this seemed to be left to Parsons to handle. Given the implications I’d have expected the owners to be directing Parsons, taking legal advice on day one to manage the fall out and defence.

True, but let’s see what our squad looks like before concerning ourselves with theirs.

Just no plain back ffs.
