Dyche knows where the door is.

Ah, thats the attitude...

If we don't lose anyone, regardless of whether we make any signings, we should still be good enough to survive comfortably this season.

Mr Garlick ??

randomclaret2

Garlick is probably thinking that we managed just fine with 12 or 13 fit outfield players post lockdown..

It would take a few hours in between formally lodging the bid to actually get a deal done I’d imagine. That would give us time to get the replacement in.

randomclaret2

So the Under 23s have a budget but the First Team doesnt

randomclaret2

Dyche says that has " always " been how its run, not something that is just happening now due to the current uncertainties.

randomclaret2

Ludicrous state of affairs

randomclaret2

Why do we have overseas scouts then ?

randomclaret2

What do our other Directors contribute ?

randomclaret2

If its done with the haste that normally accompanies the club's activities, it could be years away yet

randomclaret2

To me, to you, to me, to you....

randomclaret2

How about, and bearing in mind we are a Premier League club, having 2 players for each positiion capable of playing in the first team, rather than 3 midfielders or wide players covering 2 positions ?

randomclaret2

U23s now level and 18s winning 3-1

randomclaret2

Is there anything of substance in this takeover talk ? As far as I can see ,one poster on this messageboard is the only source anywhere at the moment.

randomclaret2

No Craig Dawson in Watford's 18. He's ill apparently.

randomclaret2

Sounds promising , but I hear red tape is holding things up...

randomclaret2

The season doesnt start in three weeks

randomclaret2

Turf Moor is closed today for " operational reasons " apparently

randomclaret2

Sshhhh.....

That says more for our stability than anything else.
transfer windows are really just a way of making money for agents. They serve no other purpose.

Its a wonder the other clubs bother...

So any idea how much they will be for 21-22 season?

Considerably less than that for being in the Premier League

randomclaret2

That's that then; unless you are willing to pay for signings yourself, you'd best not be criticising the club

No point in spending money for the sake of it.

Our transfer policy over the last few years as stood us well, we will no doubt do as we always do and make a couple of 11th hour signings.

Well said Mr Chairman

randomclaret2

Conor Gallagher is a midfielder

In which case it would be Cheshire against Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire or Hertfordshire

You prefer the south to the north, fair enough

randomclaret2

Sheff Utd Thursday

randomclaret2

If I was a Newcastle fan Id be worried about the age of the squad with the new signings Wilson and Fraser

randomclaret2

Dont we have a team of foreign scouts ?

randomclaret2

What do the Board members we dont hear so much about contribute to the club ? Im genuinely interested to know .Garlick cops a lot of flak and I know about Mr Kilby's invaluable work but what about the others.Dont we have 3 or 4 of them now into their 70s? What is their role ?

randomclaret2

14 senior outfield players available ( including Tarkowski ) a matter of days before the Premier League season starts. Numbers cant have been so low since Steve Cotterill's first season.

randomclaret2

No, it's because he's been injured a lot of that time and because we have had better CHs. Not being the best, does not mean he's no good. I didnt say he was no good, I said he wasnt good enough to start regularly.As for him being injured a lot, is that really why he averages 6 games a season , over...

randomclaret2

Long is 30, has been with us over 10 yars, and has started how many League games ? 60 odd maybe ? Thats because he isnt good enough to start regularly.

randomclaret2

Steady...

randomclaret2

We only have 3 Central midfielders and 1 wide right player

randomclaret2

Should be a piece of cake...

randomclaret2

No idea - I am sure some of the U23 games will move from Leyland because they have to play a set number at the Turf. But I was surprised to see all the youth team games at Gawthorpe. That will scupper my plans if and when we get back to normal world, there will be no going to Gawthorpe on a Saturda...

randomclaret2

Tony, it looks as if most of the other clubs are playing their home fixtures at their training grounds. Do you know why we arent using Gawthorpe ?

randomclaret2

Its not finding them that's the problem, it's finding the money to pay for them.

randomclaret2

If Tarkowski is going, we're possibly looking at Long plus one of Taylor or Pieters starting as Centre Backs in the first game

randomclaret2

Hes saying what every manager would have said

randomclaret2

Not much factoring in of just how cash strapped the club may be in some of these comments...

randomclaret2

We signed Tony Grant from Man City

Would you have done something differently if you’d have known about the game previously?

Im interested in the goings on at the club; I had assumed we all were, though I may have been wrong. Not publicising first team friendlies seems odd to me, but clearly not to you.

What would they need to communicate?

Its 2020 and we are a Premier League football club

randomclaret2

Were also playing Mansfield at 12.30

randomclaret2

Oooh..

randomclaret2

The club have tweeted details of the game

randomclaret2

I know times are hard at the FAI , but thats not much of a bonus

randomclaret2

Brownhill was signed in January , and the club were making contract offers to Hendrick as late as June .Im not sure how that makes him Hendrick's replacement.

randomclaret2

Uness Im misunderstanding things , Nixon now appears to be suggesting the Gibson deal is permanent
