    Great, just when it was starting to look like maybe everything wasn't the nightmare it first seemed.

    Would imagine CP and RD have come to a disagreement over Yann's sale

    Would Powell have done a full press day about the rest of the season and so on if there was any chance he would be axed?

    No evidence in that article, just speculation. Anyone on this forum could have written with as much substance.

    Would not be surprised, Yann is a lot harder to replace than Wiggins/Stephens imo. Powell knows if Yann stays, we have a shot at survival.

    The suggestion that CP's job is under threat is hardly surprising, find the timing of this breaking news a bit odd though. What's happened this morning that's prompted the Sky journo and the Mail to both publish this information? It's not look Powell failed to show for this morning's Press Conference.

    Uh oh
    You do seriously have to wonder how many of these incoming players are ones that have been chosen by Powell. I know that is often the way on the continent where a Director of Football decides who to bring in and the Coach works with what he is given but would SCP be willing to work under that sort of system?

    Yup. It can be very cold out there - look at Curbs.

    I also think the plans in general would have been discussed and targets identified. The loans were no brainers as we need reinforcements. The targets look good as well.

    No one can predict who will come in for whom and at what price. Everyone is for sale at every club and a a manager you have to live with that.

    Football managers are positive guys. CP is probably thinking that if he makes a go of it the future looks good. So do I.

    He's just given a press conference saying its a big second half of the season for us.
    Where does this info come from?

    CP: There's just under half a season to go. 60 points. Last season we had a strong second half and we have to do the same again #cafc

    Absolutely. Spin is how football works nowadays, unfortunately.

    Would like to see some players coming in who know the league. It's good to have a base of players who know the league and have played in it before.

    We've got 11 of those and its not working out too well. These lads might have no fear, and do the business. We'll see.

    I suspect its journalists putting two and two together and getting 4.5.

    There's probably an element of truth in it, but not as bad as its being made out

    @RichCawleySLP: Rhoys Wiggins been offered four-and-a-half-year contract by #cafc. Set to stay.

    I'm in hospital with astronomically high blood pressure and today isn't helping!
    Keep taking the tablets like the rest of us, Swizz

    It isn't. Do you really think this can continue long term with Powell in charge? Sadly I'd be amazed if he still here by the end of the season.

    Still all of tomorrow to come as well, proper rollercoaster ride at the moment. The confirmed facts - who we've bought, who we've sold, who we've offered contracts to - is so far reasonably positive, I think we're probably better of today than we were this time yesterday. The rumours going round at the moment regarding SCP and Yann make the picture look a hell of a lot bleaker though.

    two days ago the rumour was that Powell was signing a new deal today, its all very very shiftable

    as we speak, across Kent, hundreds of torn up season tickets are being quickly sellotaped back together again.

    that made me chuckle !!!Over the moon if Wiggy stays & signs a long term contract - not too bothered about losing Dale as long as he is replaced. He has a good shot on him but has only really picked up his game this season and then only when paired with Cousins.

    I think its good that we the fans are going to have more to shout about

    I got a text last night saying yann had gone and was signed

    Got a text just now saying he is here at sparrows

    So is it saying goodbye or is it to rethink

    Who knows but if we get the fella from nantes yann will not nesc be a first choice

    Isn't it good to have choices and competition

    I hope my faith in waiting and not worrying will be repaid

    You are THE man, nla ! The true voice of common sense.

    Could well be that we are not selling Yann until we are confirmed to have someone else definitely coming in.

    Alternatively, quite possible that Bournemouth offered Yann a longer deal but less money than he wanted or that there was more performance-based pay in what they were offering.

    If that is the case then he might choose to stay till summer and go on a Bosman and pick up a signing on fee somewhere.

    If we could pull that off I'd be happy.

    You're only allowed to refer to Koc in this manner, RJ !
