I know right, come back when you’ve seen out a 1-0 win in a playoff final Russ FFS!

This will be a crap result for us.

Think we can forget that now.

They wanted to, but the money was too tight to mention.

Only RS is a proper centre forward and he cannot be relied on to stay fit for more than 3 games at a time.

Jesus wept. Hopefully just there to watch a match.

FFS, knew I’d forgotten one 🤦‍♂️ One good striker in 11 years will have to do.

We absolutely do not need to spend more attention/money on fullbacks than strikers. We haven’t bought a good one for 11 years (maybe being harsh on Gabbiadini). Agree with you on attacking midfielders though.

To be fair to him, he mentioned the (dreaded) name Nathan Jones as someone Rasmus had approached months before he actually joined. Other than that though, don’t remember much else.

Joey Barton is available after all?!

I’m sure he’s already got something lined up, but would be quite funny if Rohl ended up with nothing else, and going cap in hand back to Wednesday for next season.

He’ll probably change his profile picture to a wotsit or something when it’s confirmed. Weird bloke.

I’d suggest you try harder.

I think the £10m was mentioned at the time we wanted him to replace Martin, but probably all changed now. Think one of the coaches (Pedersen) was lined up to take the job when Rohl leaves

£10m for all the staff I think

I guess that’s the crux of it - if they couldn’t split them, then the one for free makes sense. If he was their lead candidate then seems silly to me.

Pretty sure it was £5m to a premier league club and £2m to elsewhere..

IF true, that’s pretty crap from us. We knows there’s a buyout clause there, not a good look.

Good points, will add to the checklist - especially the bit about vaping.

So after reviewing the thread, the new manager checklist needs to include; - a Mourinho/Ferguson like aura to take instant control of the dressing room - tactical flexibility to adapt and change based on opposition, including within games - be able to organise a defence, but also be able to attack and score goals freely - preferably not ginger - not have his own family members as coaches, otherwise it’s classed as nepotism - have strong ability, but minimal ambition so they are happy to come to the Championship and won’t want to leave - have experience of English football, preferably a previous decent playing career - be over 40 as a minimum, but preferably 50 Good luck Spors

I’ve seen this but I don’t think thats correct. Amorim has 24 points from 26 games. Derby got 11 all season, including 24 winless games under Jewell, so the Maths don’t add up.

1) Still leaving Lens is irrelevant- he is going regardless of our interest as wants to move back to UK for personal reasons. 2) only seen Miguel Delaney suggest we’ve formally offered him the job. The local journo’s (House and Blackmore) as far as I can tell have said he is an option and they want to appoint before end of the week 3) don’t think it’s a case Rohl isn’t interested, more that he wants to survey all his options and see what materialises. I do agree though, both shown vastly different respect levels to their existing clubs. I suspect it will be Still, but clearly Rohl was number one choice and if there’s even a slight chance he will join, the club are going to push for it.

He’s only played about 12 games in the championship and a handful of premier league games after basically 2 years injured. Quite how you can make that determination on that basis is ridiculous.

Do wonder if the Will Still bits in the press at the weekend are to give one last hurry up to Rohl to accept or we move on. TBH if he wants to hold out for a better offer then got to ask whether his heart will be in it.

I’ll be making a more concerted effort to watch more local non league football next season - Eastleigh, Sholing and Totton.
