Sounds like a penny would have been all we would have got , bases on a one year Wigan contract

Quite a few thought anything other than relegation was the best we could get this time last season. No signing until after season started. Then in November we were dreaming of promotion. I know we have lost a lot of players ( like last season ) but who knows what may happen.

I'm actually OK with no signings yet . They said they would look within first and that's what they are doing with the preseason games . Hopefully now they are getting a picture of which youth players are coming through and make long/ loan signing accordingly .

Ahh I wonder if this is what unleaded ment the other day regarding Warburton whispering in D Moyes ear

I can hear an 🦉, I'm guessing page 300 before signing , or we just chill . I'm sure we are use to the usual TM ⏰️ vs 💰 scenario we got told every window.

Hoping this is the calm before the storm next week. Discussing Scott W height is hopefully the lull point 👍

Out of the u23 matches I watched, H Wood impressed me the most and got me interested 👍

So Park has gone ? It was only a couple days ago GB was quoted as saying Park contracted until end of the month and was due to talk about situation. I guess then , now had conversation and he's gone 🤣. At least things seem to be happening quickly

Sure👍 I'm only mentioning GB peice on transfer plans . Which seems to say they can get on with business at the moment regardless of BBD situation. He added: “The owners have been very clear, they’re happy for us to push ahead with that plan, regardless of whether Ben is in the building or not. “We don’t have to wait, we can act straight away on that.”

GB has already said this windows transfer plans do not hinge on what happens with BBD future

There was a poster on here who mentioned a conversation he had with Swag. Swag apparently said, when TM goes and a replacement is being made , there would be a thorough interview process which Swag would be involved with and recommendation made to the owners. This was in relation to previous appointments not being done in this way . And so it transpires that this seems to have happened. Despite all the doom and gloom of some posters, regarding supposedly missing out on managers early in the search .

Anyone know much about Walker signed for the 23's from Preston I believe?

Where JDT says "the project found him" , does that imply he was approached for the job rather than him applying ? Lots of references to Boughton, seems to be pulling the strings .

It's not just season tickets that are important. Online match viewing is also , I only missed one match last season at £10+ a pop 🤣

So has anyone genuinely got a clue who the last interviewees were this week ? Lots of doom and gloom about who we supposedly missed out on , but really if there sticking with an interview process, we haven't missed out, as there not in the process. That's the way I see ' guess ' it anyway

Time to stick some $ on Gally getting 20 plus goals this season😉. BBD in all 🤣

Ok let's not appoint a dof and just carry on moaning about a lack of club structure . It may / may not work, but at least a void filled ( hopefully)

Sure it's a mess as usual and we should have the manager situation sorted knowing TM was going months ago. Though shit happens, like when Sven G E was lined up . Last year at this point I struck money on relegation, then pre 🎄 promotion 🤣. I'm just generally saying ( not to you personally) not to be too depressive and hopefully something positive will transpire. Else what's the point in it all.

It least we seem 'stable ' now , with a lot of younger players looking to break through with some potential. Previously it was mainly older journey men, on high wages, no potential

Hopefully the new dof fills a gap in the club structure and I personally feel its a step forward. Managers can come and go quickly, so hopefully this gives us more long-term continuity , despite future manger changes. No idea or preference on the new coach, other than some passion & positively. Reading this thread is like a self harm clinic at the moment. So many people just expecting the worst and anyone positive shot down . I know it's been shit but without hope there is nothing. 🤞 these changes work out , can't be any worse ...

Given how the club has promoted under 18 and 23 managers from within, I've gone for D Johnson at 5/1 . 😐

Well done to the 54 people who voted finishing outside of the top 6 👍, I was one of the mentally deranged 4 voting for 2nd 🙄

What's the contract situation with Waggott , when's it up ?
