He can’t be on a lot surely. No one else in the Championship would have gone for him. A truly bizarre signing. If you’re on about Mahoney, he’s on 10k a week. 1 year left on his contract too, so might take some shifting. Warnock talking to Yorkshire live a few days ago. “There’s one or two things happening with Connor. He’s desperate to go and play somewhere else as well if he can get some game time, so we thought if he’s that keen to get away I’d rather have lads down here who really want to show me what they can do really. That’s why I’ve brought the young lads instead.”

If you’re on about Mahoney, he’s on 10k a week. 1 year left on his contract too, so might take some shifting. If Mahoney is on 10k a week, then the club really did lose their minds last summer. No way did he deserve a contract on that , he has only played 14 games in 4 years previously. No transfer fee remember. However we like/don’t like it, that’s how football works. If clubs are after a player, it comes down to money. £1m over 2 seasons is not that big of gamble in football anymore on a player at championship level with championship experience. The fact he’s done the square root of nothing for us, shows clubs are prepared to gamble.

Playing the mental health card ? Is that why he's in hospital for his own safety 🤔. Then that entitled prick is calling him "not a real man", listing what "real men" do and then blocking folk for asking if "real men" go and get coked off their tits while leaving a young wife with a newborn at home and doing the same when they had a 2nd child too. I'm not condoning what Edwards did but Fox is a complete prick. Not great getting caught is it, stressful for anyone let alone someone with a history of depression. Doesn’t excuse what he’s done though does it and not relevant. Know nothing about fox, when he was going out getting coked up leaving his wife and kids at home maybe he also had mental health struggles. You’ve no idea, nor have the ones replying on Twitter. Classic Twitter really. Which is worse, the absent coke snorting father (allegedly) or the 60 yr old husband and father of 5 buying photos from 17 year old crack addict boys behind his wife and families back?? Bang on

Another one gone. A couple of injuries and the loss of these ‘fringe’ players might start to bite. Looks like we are some way off bringing anyone in as well. Good to see they have settled quickly into a routine of selling players without having any recognised replacements lined up. Piss poor. wish they would lock your door!!😔

If that's true re: Connor Mahoney then he's "earned" (and I say that in the loosest possible meaning of the word) more from this 2 year contract than I'm likely to have done by the time I retire.
£10k per week? How good is his agent???

Cartwright interview is a good read, but does he not know we only sign ex players? quick throw him the ex players book. Ddon't need all that due diliengence stuff, when you sign ex players. How dare he think about doing research into a players character, we don't need that rubbish , just are you free ? or an ex player who isn't getting a kick elsehwere ? No its great that it seems, town are trying to get a structure to our recuritment, not just the usual. I am glad that Warnock seems to be getting a huge say in this also. i have a bit of a theory on the signing of all those ex players. At the time after we'd just dropped from the premier league we had a stack of players that had no interest in playing for the club once we'd been relegated. I think that badly burned us so we went for players that we knew had a decent attitude and were happy to play for us. Whilst there were a few that i didn't want us to re-sign, I can't think of any time where all the re-signed ex players attitudes haven't been spot on. Just seems like it was a low risk approach for a club. You may be right re the thinking behind the signings, but why 2 old past it forwards. We did not think it through completely re speed and strength etc. It was the number of them as well it was like they had no other idea in their head. I believe that it also smacked of what was going on at the club, we were all feeling rock bottom with Dean wanting out and the signings showed the lack of ambition in the club at the time. No joined up thinking re the signings to build a team, we got luck with a couple of the signings and with LOB comming through or we would have had more of last season.

Oh right. When you say anti transgender crusade, is that actually hating trans people or just campaigning for women's rights to not be dismissed to accommodate them, because the two seem to get confused? No he went way down the rabbit hole, I think his wife even left him, as all he could think about 24/7 was those "awful" lgbtq+ people.... Fair enough then.

On father's Day (probably significant) Fox got pissed, went out into his garden and filmed himself setting fire to Pride flags before posting it on Twitter.

Wonder what Huw was up to on Father’s Day. Honestly the double standards on display depending on who’s involved (and their politics?) is quite frankly frightening. I don’t think they were pride flags were they? Thought they were trans ones? Not that I’m condoning burning any flag in your back garden on Father’s Day The press have spent over a year trying to end the careers of people who attended a gathering in lockdown. Which is worst would you say from a moral standpoint regardless of what laws were broken, if any? There are many other comparisons. The post from Porroh above is suggesting it may all be made up I think? Seems far fetched but if it is then he fully deserves all the sympathy he’s getting and much, much more and he’ll be able to sue lots of ppl. Sorry totally off topic!!

i'm sure the people responsible for recruitment would argue that it worked given we got to the play off final. Plus we were hoping for significantly more out of koroma and anjorin than we got. That being said I do agree with you, it was just symptomatic of what was happening at the club at the time and werent the most ambitious signings we could have made and it really just felt like we'd frittered away any benefits of being in the premier league.
NW said when he first arrived on how we're lacking in leaders, I do wonder how Schofield might have done had he had a few more. In a similar manner to us getting former players back because they had good attitudes, I suspect NW will be signing some players for their leadership as much as their footballing skills.

I only suggested the fact that it was father's day might be significant, is because if the rumours are true that he's not allowed to see his kids then it might explain his state of mind on that particular day - but in no way justifies it. They were Pride flags. Cretin. Absolutely no idea how that compares in any way, shape or form to lockdown gatherings. To get it back on topic - the only Fox I want to see at Town is one in the box.

Some interesting transfers gone on at a few clubs. I've highlighted a few I think could do well and looks a good bit of business
Swansea signings
Jerry Yates - Blackpool, undisclosed
Josh Key - Exeter, undisclosed
Coventry
Ellis Simms - Everton, undisclosed
Jay Dasilva - Bristol City, free
Bristol City
Rob Dickie - QPR, undisclosed
Jason Knight - Derby, undisclosed
Ipswich town
Jack Taylor - Peterborough, undisclosed
Boro
Seny Dieng - QPR, undisclosed

Norwich
Ashley Barnes - Burnley, free
Shane Duffy - Fulham, free
Jack Stacey - Bournemouth, free
Stoke
Ben Pearson - Bournemouth, undisclosed

Obviously ive left out the big guns like Leicester signing coady and winks.
There is still some decent freebies knocking about though!
Sam Byram rb
Daniel Johnson cam
Bradley Dack Cam
Fankaty Dabo LB
Ryan Bertrand LB
Darnell Fisher RB
Luke Amos CM
Joel Latibeaudiere Cb/Rb
Now there is no rumours in these whatsoever and a few will be way out of our budget.
But thought I'd list a few anyway

But thought I'd list a few anyway Birmingham done a lot of decent business, Laird, Sanderson, Belik, Miyoshi and Roberts on permanents along with Dembele as you said. Along with the new ownership think they will do well next season. Dabo looks like he is dropping down to league one along with Amos. Latibeaudiere is an interesting one as he is now a full Jamaican international after winning the U17 World Cup with England. IMO Town need a bit more defensive cover and he would be perfect for that. None of the rest of them really stand out to me. Dack is unfortunately too injury prone, then Fisher, Byram and Bertrand have barely played the last few years. Johnson could do a job, but I don't think he is the same player he was a few years ago.

Nowt to do with Town but I see the transfer of Declan Rice from West Ham to Arsenal has gone through for a reported £105 million, if those figures are correct then the world has truly gone mad.

It lost the plot ages ago when Batty was sold for millions and Keith Curle played for England. You can justify UFOs and ghosts easier than that..🤪

Not sure because I think with him hes pretty much guaranteed to give them what they think they are going to get. Chances are he'll be a key player for them for the next 5 or 6 years, the sort you build a team around. When you think theyve spent £80m on players who ended up doing bugger all for them, then £105m for Rice doesnt seem too bad. I think the money they paid for that German striker off Chelsea was the crazy one.

Camara would of come good he was quality on the ball.
Hopefully the young lads get a chance this season and not loan players like waghorn/lowton

Gave it away numerous times in our defensive 3rd.

Johnson I think would be excellent, he's still got Championship quality- maybe not as good as a few years ago but at his peak he was one of the best in the league.

Bellend maybe, but he's got his young client a deal with an established Serie A club and no doubt a massive pay rise. I'd say that's job well done.
