Absolutely zero mention of the contract length.

I'd definitely be renting if I was him.

Looks like Gary Bowyer has agreed a deal to become Blackpool next manager.

Conflicting reports that he hasn't even spoken to them.

Given that these Blackpool rumours have happened since he quit Dundee.

Could be a really interesting year coming up for a few clubs.

I think PNE could be in for a real struggle. Little to no investment at all in their squad and a few players running down contracts. Johnson leaving on a free this summer they've got absolutely zero creativity. Relegation battle for them.

WBA running out of money, they'll be selling anyone of value and won't be attracting much good. Can see Coberan leaving when reality hits in, maybe Leeds would fancy him if they end up relegated.

If Leicester come down they've got a huge loan out to the banks, I'd imagine they play it the same way as Burnley in that they'll sell Maddison and Barnes for £70m or so, and reinvest £20m of it. Their wage bill is around £70m a year, and I doubt they have any clauses in place. It won't be as easy as people think to emulate what Kompany managed to do this year.

[chaddyrovers]

is Lowe staying at PNE tho? 

What are the 3 PL clubs going to do about their players and do they have relegation wage clauses in them or their head coach/manager situation?

Looking at various press reports it seems more likely he was sacked due to a breakdown in relationships with the club.

Preston always seem to be ok. They've little money or creativity in their ranks but manage to bring in enough to finish mid-table every year so expect them to do similar again next year.

Will Leicester be allowed to enter the EFL? Another lot who contravened FFP rules on their way to the PL and allowed to get away with it.

West Brom also seem to live a charmed life so wouldn't surprise me if they gambled, managed to keep most of their squad together under Corberan and were in a promotion push next season.

Every year I tip Stoke to do well with seemingly most of the ingredients in place for a good push and every year they end up struggling.

Said on sky the other day that West Brom had to take a £20 million loan out in January and if they didn't go up this season cut backs would have to be made.Their Parachute payments have ended I think and been said their owner reluctant to put more money in

Yes I just read Bowyer's statement. Does appear that way from his statement.

They bought in 3 PL strikers on loan. Will be interested what Lowe does this summer.

No money. Their owner even took a loan from the club. Expect sales from them with free transfers/loans coming in.

Massive wage bill, and FFP blocking owners investing

I don't think their owner has any money to invest? didn't he take a loan from the club last season? 

[ben_the_beast]

A link to what is going on at West Brom

TLDR (to long didn't read)

- owner purchased the club in 2016

- relationship broken down with the fans

- parachute payments now ended

- owner 'loaned' £5million out of the club during covid to support one of his other businesses which was failing

- has repeatedly missed deadlines to pay this money back 

- club have taken out an external loan of £20million to keep them running

All in all I think we can expect to see a firesale there and no investment. Expect to see them battling relegation soon and Corberan will be far from happy.

I see. So every other team has no money but you think Tomasson is telling fibs when he mentioned loans and frees as a way of a negotiation tactic?

Stoke have shedded a few more of the remaining big earners so I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit more scope for them financially.

Also, not surprised that Blackpool seemingly dont want Bowyer. Would be a strange appointment.

I never once said JDT is telling lies so don't start misquoting me but Raya is likely to be sold meaning money coming in the club plus wage bill reduced and we might sell Gallagher or Kaminski yet again re-generating funds to spend. Plus given the facts that we have been linked to several players who would cost fees suggest to me that they might be some money available just like last season where we bought we players. Like I said yesterday We sign 2 players for fees, 2 free transfers and 2 loans for example.

I don't get why it would be strange appointment given his EFL experience.

Its quite surprised just how negative you are on here. his name need removing from BRFC history and his name should be barred on here from being mention. 

I think Bowyer would be good appointment for Blackpool along with Leam Richardson, Danny Cowley and Chris Wilder.

Yeah I can’t understand why anyone should be “ negative “ about Rovers after the last dozen seasons of unbroken success we’ve just had.

How is that negative? Bowyer thankfully doesn't manage or have anything to do with Rovers nor has he for a long while. Not a particularly good manager.

Merely having Championship/EFL experience doesn't make someone a good manager, Coyle was an example of that.

Wilder the best of those, possibly unobtainable but his stock will have fallen this season. Going for old managers is not usually advisable but Critchley would be a better choice if they went down that route.

Look on the bright side - two negatives make a positive 😁
