Meanwhile, we're still trying to figure out what our new Technical Director does, and replace half our scouts. Let alone the budget approval from Pune.

What budget?

Rudy the man for DOF at Rovers?

I guess you first need to learn how not to do it before you go see how a proper club operates.

👆 a minor piece about Fleck working with former teammate and former Rover Jack O'Connell, who focused more on fitness after retiring early due to injury, in order to get himself in shape to earn a deal at Rovers.

He can be as fit as he wants when he's running around but in the contact situations that are unavoidable as a pro footballer his old injury will rear its head again in no time.

That's the problem when it comes to throwing contracts about.

That'd be great!

Only issue is, the money would simply disappear just like the rest... we'll end up with Ruddy on a free transfer regardless 🙄

I’d be really surprised if Fleck’s medical consultant has advised him to carry on playing.

Thank you Google Translate!

”This summer, he was the big topic in the Super League. Now he is back.

Leopold Wahlstedt is again close to making it to the best Danish series.

Tipsbladet can reveal that.

According to Tipsbladet's information, AGF has bid for the Swedish goalkeeper in Blackburn.

The bid is approximately one million euros, 7.5 million kroner, and the clubs pretty much agree, so the change is more or less up to the goalkeeper.

This summer, AGF said goodbye to Bailey Peacock Farrell, who has returned home to Burnley after his loan spell ended, and now they have set their sights on Leopold Wahlstedt.

 

A man who already last year at the same time as now was extremely interesting to the people of Aarhus.

 

B.T. could thus reveal last summer that the 24-year-old Swede from Odd was a wanted player for AGF, but it was Brøndby and Blackburn who fought for him in an unforgettable match, where he chose the Championship club at the finish line.

 

Brøndby had even ordered plane tickets for Leopold Wahlstedt, but the English club offered twice as much salary and an attractive league, and thus he switched to Blackburn with their then Danish coach Jon Dahl Tomasson at the helm.  

Leopold Wahlstedt got almost half of the games in the Championship with 21 appearances last season, but now the arrow points back to Denmark, where AGF is ready to welcome the goalkeeper they most want.”

Ruddy working with Pears and keeper coaching in general might not be a bad thing he certainly couldn't be a worse number 2 than Leo at this point in time.

I get exactly what you're saying, but it's just a bit of a stinker overall...

A properly run Club in the same position would take the ~£1m from selling Wahlstedt, and put it towards the purchase of a top keeper who could be our #1 for years, like Daniel Iversen for example.

Brondby dodged a bullet there.

Good news that we’re getting money for Leo but sad is not worked out for him…I’ll say it now I think there’s a keeper in him, it’s just not worked for him in England.

He nearly got us relegated, along with one or two other culprits of course.

Yes chucking the fee money at the big wages of another over age player can't be described as re-investment in any form.

I agree with you totally. Just not suited to English football

the two clubs may be happy with the fee but at the end of the day it's whether Wahlstadt wants to take probably almost a 50% pay cut! (would you!)

I can see him going there on loan(with an option to buy) initially if they cover his wages

Go and get Marek Rodak. Good keeper at this level, just released on a free from Fulham.

Along with two others?!? The whole team bar 2 players were awful and that was stemmed from JDT which of course was stemmed from owners…Leo has the attributes to be a great kepper and like a lot of players in different countries it hasn’t worked out.

I don’t know where you get that from. I didn’t  think I’d ever be saying this but he was worse than Walton.
