Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
Some suggestion on Twitter that Tomas Sorensen is on his way in as back up GK//Coach. An interesting rumour, if nothing else. Having said that, several news feeds have him as having signed for Melbourne in the Aussie A League as recently as 3 days ago. Evidently August is the month for surprising g...

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
Morning all. Busy day ahead, all the way through to the 11pm deadline and beyond. If I hear anything I'll tell you. BN report this morning and liveblog says: • We'd lined up two Premier League loan deals, a defender and a striker – "but all bets now appear to be off" • EFL not expected to be flexibl...

Re: EFL/Sherpa Vans/Vauxhall Motors/Johnstone Paints draw
Oh good, Bury have scored, that's a talking point for half-an-hour. Buxton and Beevers are our central defenders. We have a little sally forth and win a throw...and....they they win one. "Eerie atmosphere" states micman as no 49 gets a mention for the Scousers. Free kick for them for an assault on ...

Re: EFL/Sherpa Vans/Vauxhall Motors/Johnstone Paints draw
Howard; Wilson, Buxton, Beevers, A Taylor; C Taylor, Vela, Alex Perry, Jack Earing; Proctor, Woolery Subs: Jake Turner, Moxey, Spearing, Madine, Walker, Wheater, Wilkinson First thoughts: Wilkinson can't get a start, but that may be because we needed 5 starters from Saturday's XI and Proctor was dee...

Re: EFL/Sherpa Vans/Vauxhall Motors/Johnstone Paints draw
An hour to go, nearly team-time. Howard playing, Vela captain, apparently. Also - if there's a draw after 90 mins there's a penalty shootout to an extra point #tinpot

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
PP will want someone else in by the next league game, which is after the deadline... Unless it's a free agent.

Re: The Football League
I don't know the answer to this. What I do have is a question or two. Sometimes questions help frame the thought process. Why are the rules put in place? To protect clubs from idiotic owners? To protect players from idiotic owners? To protect other clubs from the unfair advantage of rich owners? (Th...

Re: Mean time, in Greenwich. Charlton away thread. 27-Aug. 2
Gutted for Sparky. Guess we'll find out now whether he was stealing a living, passing it sideways, having a negative effect on the team, etc. Interesting financials. Of the four biggest earners there's only Spearing out there on the job. Obviously Davies and Pratley will still be drawing their wage ...

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
Will this mean that young Jussi, all 5ft 9ins of him will be on the bench on Saturday??? It'd be nice if Wigan signed a goalkeeper and lent us Jaaskelainen Senior. More likely that Parky will be hitting the phones to the managers in the top two divisions asking if anyone's going spare. But there ar...

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
He's only "on the verge". Hold fire with the champagne corks. I dunno, he looked brilliant on loan - even in a team massively struggling, thanks (IIRC) to Lenny's back-three proclivities. And although he developed (in Boris's brilliant phrase) a T-rex-like inability to deal with high long shots, whe...

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
I think it was people who signed and who are on contracts over 3 years and signed prior to Sept of the relegation year can be carried in addition to the other stipulations? So just Amos in our case? According to this handy-but-in-need-of-updating list and link farm : Spearing is in the last year of...

Bit of a Q&A here on SCMP. Coventry-shaped, and from last summer, but might help.

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
I think it was suggested by Iles that whilst it was never a "1 in 1 out" scenario that we had a cap on either squad size or wage budget and as we'd filled that it was in effect "Some/one out one/more in". All teams in League 1 and 2 have a "cap" on wage budget. 60% of Revenue. But some contracts li...

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
Aye but still the same expenditure from this year's budget either way. Which is what makes it a bit odd, if that route would indeed be allowed. Though of course we don't know what Finney was paid and how much we are paying for Taylor so that may have been a one off mechanism to particularly fit tha...

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
Wonder who will leave then to make way for new signings? Iles still believes we have to move some out to bring some in. Guess Conor Wilkinson as one, but then who would want him?
