    Only reason we could sign him in the first place...
  • Kashi has gone...... said his goodbyes after the second leg of the play off. All the loans are looking elsewhere for next season. Konsa looking to move on. The fringe Squad players (home grown) are waiting to see what happens in the next couple of months; possibilities for some to be involved if a takeover continues to drag is what I have been told. None of the team management or players have heard anything definitive about who's in charge next season, of the club or of the first team.

    How much did we ‘shell’ out for him?

    I know about an out of contract Tuna and Sweet Corn Sandwich, do you think I should advise them to contact the club.
    Box to box so I understand.

    Thought we had bottomed out but unless something happens soon with the takeover I fear a lower level of shitness awaits.

    But Colin said it was a done deal!

    Were already well behind other clubs when it comes to transfer targets, we don’t even have a manager. This needs to be completed today.

    I suspect the next manager already knows he is coming in and will be identifying his targets.
    Excellent point, and one that I had completely missed.

    I think we can deduce that Lee is not going to be our manager or someone from the consortium would surely have spoken to him. Whoever they have decided upon has probably been aware for a while and has been formulating his plans.
    Why do posters think that someone from the consortium would have spoken to him....one way or the other.
    They don’t own us and are not in the position to sack him or hire him.
    They can have discussions with whom they like. They can employ someone just to target players. Curbishley could have been working with them for months for all we know.

    If it was you that expected to take over a football club, what plans would you have put in place since January? Or would you wait until you had everything signed and then worry about it.

    Talking to an ex manager about a possible position happens all the time.

    It doesn't look good.

  • I'm more concerned about pre season training and the fitness programmes for the players. 2 summers ago fitness went to pot over the summer due to a lack of senior management

    I’m sure Jackson is on the case on that issue at least.

    Is Jackson contracted to the club as a coach next season then?

    He was Coach under Robinson. Not heard that’s changed since KR left.

    Which players do need work permits?

    Footballers from outside the EU must still obtain a work permit if they wish to play for English football clubs. Every non-EU footballer must successfully apply for a Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) with the FA before the Home Office will consider issuing a work permit.

    The system has recently been tightened and now only non-EEA players who are internationally established at the highest level, and whose employment will make a significant contribution to the development of their sport at the highest level, are allowed to play in the UK. One of the reasons for the rule change was that only 58% of football players who were given work visas played any top-flight football in their second season.

    What are the criteria which will be used?

    Until 2015, football players needed to have played in at least 75% of their country’s senior international matches over the previous two years to play in the UK. Eligibility for a GBE now depends on a national team’s FIFA ranking, as follows:

    Official FIFA Ranking / Required % of international matches in past 2 yrs
    FIFA 1-10 / 30% and above
    FIFA 11-20 / 45% and above
    FIFA 21-30 / 60% and above
    FIFA 31-50 / 75% and above

    In the case of players aged 21 or under at the time of application, the period is reduced to one year. The aim is to make it easier for young, outstanding talent to grow their game in the UK.

    If a club’s application is rejected, there is an appeals process. The Exceptions Panel is the appeals body which will consider, on a points based system, the player’s experience and value before deciding whether the player can join the club, regardless of their failed application. A stricter assessment of relevant objective criteria will now be applied in an appeal.

    I heard a rumour that we might be leaving the EU (although the person who told me was a bit vague on how and what would replace it).
    Australia ranked at 40th so players have to play in 75% of games...
    Not if we leave the EU and so are no longer under those rules.

    Has anyone got Mark Fish's phone number?
    I'm guessing Loui has.

    I hope so, but it's a massive step up from being a player/coach to organising training and dietary programmes for 20 professional footballers

    Well the manager wouldn’t either.

    Sports science would be the drivers in this.

  • So Roland's still here then.
  • Well not actually present obviously
  • Has he gone yet ?
  • I think JJ has a decent chance of remaining as a coach. Any new manager will want somebody with him who knows the players - their strengths and weaknesses to bounce ideas off.

    The above rules are not imposed on us by the EU. For example, the Scottish FA has much looser rules regarding non-EU players compared to the rules for England.

    It was just a joke but if we can only have three non-EU players we might have a problem post brexit. Bauer and Clarke plus ?????

    Precisely - and I would think one of the reasons why the Aussies are so interested.

    As from next April, we are able to form our own immigration policy outside of the EU Legislation and allow in as many ex Commonwealth immigrants - whether permanent or temporary - as we wish. I cannot see too many complaints over a small number of fit young English speaking high earning white makes being allowed in.

    Pretty sure this will be seen as a back door entry into the EU by quite a few countries.
    Nothing like a back door entry.
