    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    This thread has mentioned Greaves as a possible Branthwaite replacement before. I think it would be wise business. Hes a good target. Szmodics at 28 not quite as interested but no less about him. But whoever ends up with Greaves will be making i think a wise bet.

    2023/24 Youssef Chermiti

    I would hope with now safety he gets some more run over the next 3 games. Dyche not introducing him sooner in longer bits I do think was poor over the season. Not much to discern personally in relation to his game but he is a significantly invested prospect. Should do our due diligence in his...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    I'll give Dyche credit for the uptick in form in April. Also navigating the off field ownership distractions and point deductions. That said the season in total should still be evaluated. A lot is in flux but this slight turnaround still isnt enough for me to feel that assured that Dyche's job...

    Relegation 23/24 Thread

    What a run of unexpected form this month. Played out a lot of scenarios but being safe with 3 games to go was not one of the hypotheticals I would have guessed. Well done everyone

    Our next manager?

    Considering ties to Redbull in 777 with Spors I honestly wouldnt be shocked if he was appointed if the takeover happens. Personality wise I could see him connecting, I just dont think hes a very good manager. If Redbull connections are likely there are other names I'd prefer, starting with...

    Our next manager?

    Im a fan of Potter and think if he finds the right situation he could do wonders, but I dont think thats us. Not only in relation to personnel but I think his media persona how he communicates. We have to admit we are a tough fanbase with pretty high expectations. I could see him be constantly...

    Ballard is one I thought about too. Lot of talent on that Sunderland side. Have only watcheds a few games but I am a little worried about his foot speed at the next level. But he is been great for them this year has some technical ability and passing range, arsenal academy pedigree. Its a worthy...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    I question at times if value is still to be had in the Championship like it was under Moyes. Obviously networks down the table would be better to have for sell on viability and a development strategy. Id also say the majority of the best prospects are on likely promotion sides this year. That...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    I am personally still worried in the center of the park. I think the Tark/Branth/ Pickford have been very good at masking a lot of defensive cover or lack thereof above them. And in the same token the constant inconsistency of ball carriers from the midfield is to blame for poor supply almost as...

    Would it get worse without Dyche?

    This is my stance. Him leaving now I think would drastically backfire. Exit in the summer I think that overlaps nicely with the timeline. Hopefully theres at least resolve on the ownership front, assuming 777 is secured by then. New owners, new DoF thats given the summer to sort out options and...

    Our next manager?

    Its the kind of hire that if he had done under Moshiri and Brands off the bat, we may have avoided a lot of pitfalls. Our hypothetical strength will be having a global network through all of 777's assets. He'd be a manager that can understand that better than almost anyone, while also having...

    Our next manager?

    Have some other names but I have initially one at mind. If 777 take over and Johannes Spors becomes DoF the name I cant shake Ralf Rangnick. Connect Spors ties to RB, and that Ralf could leave Austria post euros harmoniously, I think there might be some overlap of interest. I personally would...
