Best Of

This is a bit old fashioned. Schumacher at Stoke had a head of recruitment and a director of football, plymouth had both aswell. I would guess, that the majority of clubs have head of recruitment and many directors of football or to that effect.

The days of managers just signing players are long gone, They will be involved, and maybe get a veto, but clubs want what's best overall not just for a manager.

Bolton selling Dion Charles to Huddersfield this week surely discredits the suggestion that they don't want to sell Morley to us because we're a rival? I'd suggest that either the ownership wanted someone else (Westergaard) all along or the price they've quoted is more than we're willing to pay.

Been chatting to a Viborg fan about Magnus, he had this to say:

He’s a great box to box, really psychical[sic] and great tackling, he is also good on attack, most of his goals has been well placed shots outside the box.

I think it's a sad state of affairs that Blooms has gone, a needless departure. He deserved the respect and the responsibility to choose his own players.

Yeah, Rice could have made suggestions, but as for one set of folk recruiting and another set having to pick a team from the hand they have been dealt just doesn't seem right to me.

I hope the two new Danes do well and I hope we get a good new manager. But for the life of me, I can't see any self-respecting manager being happy to put their reputation on the line when they are not doing the recruiting.

Schumacher would be a great choice, not sure if he will want to risk his proven track record if he is not going to be given full autonomy.

I hope all ends well but at the moment, feeling pretty apprehensive about the future.

Nobby did all the graft though.

I think loan contracts have this specified individually, player joins on loan until X date with an option to recall between a and b, don't think it applies to all players en masse

it’ll be three at the back with Low Sonny and Anders if Grimmer is out with Fred or kodua at RWB imo.

And then probably Anders on the bench if it’s a back 4 with grimmer starting. Or start Anders for a maximum of 60 mins before sonny replaces him.

And there endth my Managerial aspirations.

What an end to the Burnley / Sunderland game. Sunderland awarded two harsh penalties, the same lad took both and Trafford saved both! The first was awarded in the 86th minute and the second in 90+6!

Management team for Saturday worries me....don't think they have any experience of this level of football.....

Long story short @SHREWSBURYFan1886 ..... if he is injury free and on a run of gametime..... he may well still be with us.

We now have an embarrassment of riches in midfield..... but before recent signings he was extremely highly thought of by management and all us fans. Great player when in form.... just a bit fragile.

I sincerely hope you do sign him for his sake and yours.
