I can understand Newcastle United’s stance here. Ashworth was seemingly breaching his contract by colluding with contacts whilst on gardening leave and they are within their rights to keep him on Gardening leave if they feel Man United don’t pay what they want as a release clause. Damages both...

Him or the lad from Celtic I expect. Maybe the latter.

This must be one of the weakest endorsements of a manager in Premier League history. ‘Ok, so we aren’t that impressed with you and we did a review to see whether we could engineer a change, but we can’t find anyone better at this point’. United will be forced into extending his contract now...

£6/7m. When you think of how a coach can develop just one player then this is small change. Think RDZ and Caicedo. Had to be done and I’m glad SP picked up a decent fee. Hope we are in a strong position in a few months to want to extend his contract

Of the two, getting Pascal to stay is more important, but if we can get Deniz back as well that would be good.

Not the best way to treat your body between world title fights.

Olise off to Chelsea. Eze also has a release clause at c£60m and teams looking to trigger it. Guehi also likely to leave. They’ll have plenty of funds for the new stand.

If we get Anthony Barry as assistant manger that will be a coup.

€10m for FH and his team seems about the going rate. Stick a €20m release clause in his contract and away we go

I think Calde is a more realistic option along with Crofts.

The latter would be my preference with a nice loan fee off a team. If Steele does want to go though, then Rushworth as no2 and he plays cup games and the off Premier League game, with Bart a clear first choice.

Certainly looks like he has more emphasis on defensive techniques than RDZ. Probably will see less goals scored and conceded. Seems like he favours a 343 formation which I think will suit Barco/ Pervis and Hinshelwood/ Lamptey ( if he stays). I also think that the three CB formation could suit...

No way will we wait to see how the Euros play out. We need a manager in place for pre season and to persuade players who we are looking to get during the transfer window. Nagelsman is hardly going to come here. Paperwork for Hurzeler or Rydstrom may not be finalised for a month or so but so...

He wanted to control recruitment, and the club weren’t prepared to let him do that, would be my summary.

Why is McKenna a better candidate than Hurzeler? Both got their clubs promoted from the second tier to the first with mid table budgets. Neither with first tier experience. Both inexperienced as in their 30s. Both had to cut short their playing careers due to injury. Both have previous...

I tend to think the Brighton fan base are fairly patient. The entitlement isn’t ingrained yet! Certainly more patient than big 6 club fans. We can take a step back in the short term as long as we are moving forwards in terms of our longer term plan.

But if he stays at SP he has the risk of a very tough season ahead with the very real risk of relegation. We can multiply his salary I expect, he gets to manage in the Premier League with a relatively strong squad. Certainly one that shouldn’t be relegated. There is no release clause so we...

I think we probably considered him as it was a sensible business decision to consider someone who is available, lives locally, and considered a good coach. He obviously had little appetite to do it as he thinks he’s moved forward. ( big ? From me on that one) and that he wouldn’t be welcomed...

Sorry, but I think you are wrong. I loved De Zerbi but the relationship between him and the club seemed to have soured. I think this window could be a really exciting one for us and yet it seemed like with Roberto it was going to have to veer away from our model for transfers. That can’t happen...

Agreed. Well done to the Palace players. No doubt that there are some talented players that play for our clubs.
