Have heard the loan back thing is a possibility via someone that would have some knowledge in the club. But I just can’t see it happening at all, unless it’s a Top 6 team. I think it’ll be sorted out early in the Summer though for all parties if not already. Massive distraction for all at the mo.

Lee Tomlin ?

This did not age well

Weston vs Yeovil wouldn’t have predicted that a few Years back when they were in the Championship with Ayling, Jamie Mac, Ishmael Miller, Wayne Hennessy & co

If Weston go up and Torquay and Yeovil come down, they'll be in the same league next Season, unless i'm missing a league out?!

It’s probably how Salford should have done it! Although as someone said they do seem to care a lot more. Salford got the bbc doc out of it, but TikTok sponsorship alone for Wrexham is several million - 2 Year deal with a promotion bonus. Disney+ episodes making £500k per episode for Disney so that’ll renew. The Hollywood aspect to it makes it truly a global ‘brand’ that’ll only grow as they work their way up, it goes against football purists but it’s always been a business for the big boys too. Even getting Ben Foster on board was good for both parties / Ben’s ‘brand’ before a ball was kicked. It’s not quite what I used to try and do on championship manager (that’s more the Newcastle approach!) but it’ll be an interesting watch to see who, how (they may need investment) & what they add staff & player wise.

Talking about the theory / concept & what sort of money is floating about, not the specific talent, Clarkson is just an example of the model

I think Disney paid them a decent wedge in the couple of millions & there’ll likely be more series with more $’s as they attempt to go through the leagues. They know what they are doing on that side & are a huge draw with Reynolds in particular. It’s a bit like Clarkson’s farm which is heavily scripted but Clarkson got a wedge for making both series, and at the same time creates a tourist spot which self promotes itself, except you can’t script football results & hopefully League 2 will prove tougher, but it’s certainly going to be an interesting watch from afar.

Hell of a run by Grimsby, you gotta feel that they must be a little gutted to not have one of the Manchester clubs, maybe they’ll get one in the semi’s then!

Newcastle prob one of a few teams you’d think a loan back would be possible. Would be an incredible deal if so - use the Scott funds to acquire strong players yet still have him for another season?! No brainer but feels unlikely scenario.

Eyes peeled in the box lads

Good to see some so many yeong players coming through in the first team

Anyone see some guests ? will make sense soon ??

Keeping an eye out for some interesting guests today

That ref was absolutely atrocious ?

Good to see Nige there at both medicals, a lot of managers wouldn’t do that. Plus quite refreshing to not have a self obsessed quote from Ashton etc when a signing is made Thankyou, Thankyou, you’re welcome” etc just let the player do the talking & have their moment. Nice one Nige, Gould & co

Cornick starting for Luton

Not sure if Luton fans a bit salty over another potential transfer to us (without their permission ?) but they don’t all rate him.

That would be very good business perhaps new ceo can help here too with existing links

Guess lineups will indicate if anything has accelerated overnight

Playing much better than recent times but gotta take this momentum. Side note, not sure but maybe that is Andy Cole in the crowd behind NP in the black hat

NP said in the press conference about a loan and a permanent lined up, wonder if this was depending upon departure of AS or if there is a chance to get them in to add a little more depth in the defence / left side as he mentioned as this wouldn’t be a like for like swap & seemed to be the positions he indicated we were short of depth

What’s Kadji like, playing style wise? Heard good things but only that he’s midfield

Same for me, I’m in Germany so watching on Hesgoal despite paying for an early bird season pass, won’t need it all the time as usually at the games but hopefully it’s just a one off as it’s on sky perhaps

Good move for everyone that. Potential incoming cb I wonder
