    Be nice to actually have an option?
    Agree but you’re always going to have a preferred system and that changes the type of players you sign.

    Do we have any proof it's us?  or is it just a guess

    If it's a 6 figure bid I presume that doesn't include the decimal places?

    What cash are we using to make this bid? It makes no sense we would be paying any sort of fee with an owner who is looking to sell 
    Unless the takeover is that close and they are that confident of it being completed by the time his contract is up and we have to pay maybe end of june ?!

    352 is holdens preferred system 
    Exactly.

    Is it a coincidence this news has broken one day before the season ticket deadline?
    Yes, almost certainly

    Mentioned in the article by the Gloucestershire journalist.

    Yes, almost certainly 
    They’re not honestly expecting a bump in the ST sales due to an article in Gloucestershire live surely?  I’d understand this theory if we’d say announced the signing today but it’s clearly way off.

    Would expect this to be the start of a bidding war for May tbh. This could be one that drags and drags as opposed to bid gets accepted this week and he's announced Monday next week.

    If nothing else I’m encouraged that we are at least in the hunt for players like May. That’s a departure from recent windows. I’d be surprised if a team that finished above wasn’t ahead of us in bagging him though. It’ll come down to wages and I can’t see us competing.

    Or it could just be his agent trying to get things moving?

    Extremely hard to believe that Sandgaard would be putting a 6 figure bid in for a player, whilst not giving a fuck and trying to sell the club.

    Is that a definite? It's not as if he's managed several clubs over 10 years and played 352 in all of them.

    Anyone got a comprehensive list of released players from various clubs?
    Yes, I've just spent the last 3 weeks compiling it, anything more you may want?

    I don't think the make up of the squad would/should be any different.  Last season we only ever had 1, if that, fit striker and very rarely had more than 2 fit center halves.

    might be swayed by where we are seeing as he's a local lad

    I said this last summer, I am totally sold on the idea of Alfie May.  It’s a signing to get us out of this division, whereas say keeping Leaburn is one for the future should we ever get out of it.  

    He’s clearly at the peak of his career, back to back goal scoring seasons in a poor(ish) side.  And the facts he’s local should not be underestimated, keeps him and his family happy in a familiar place so he’s in good frame of mind.  It’ll also be the biggest club he’s played for by some distance so you can bet he’ll bust a gut for us.  Ticks a lot of boxes IMO even if we have to pay a premium.

    He has manged us for exactly 33.3% of his total career.  The sample size is far to small to produce a valid conclusion.

    I do think it's safe to say we will see both next season though.  I also doubt we will start a game in any other formation.

    Interesting...what does this mean for the takeover..if anything!
    Nothing because as the club keeps saying the budget been set and whether the takeover happens or not it won’t affect the recruitment of course new owners may increase the budget ..

    I’m sure gloucestershirelive will have checked with CTFC before pointing that story and why haven’t Cheltenham Town denied if not true ?

    Why deny it when you want a bidding war to commence

    Could this get as exciting as the Andy Delort saga or Lenglet? Maybe Max Gradel levels?

    Just announce Stockley back on a 6 year deal already

    May, Stockton, Leaburn, Aneke would be lovely. No doubt we will end up with Kanu, Crap Loan, Crap Loan, Aneke
