Now we have reduced the playing staff by one, will we be allowed to sign a new player? If so, I hope we will be able to sigh a left back.

Somerset will be pissed off.

I suspect that Gylfi will end up at Hibs in Scotland.
Brian McDermott is now Director of Football at Hibs, and I believe Gyli used to lodge with the McDermott family when he first came to England.

Better to move Club 1871 to Upper West, and expand South Stand to accommodate 4000 away supporters and increase revenue for the club. There are plenty of "bigger " clubs in the Championship next season who have good away support, especially if Southampton and Bournemouth get relegated.

Andy Grey seen at Bearwood yesterday.

WOW I like it-best kit for years.

anyone know what was the attendance against Cardiff?

Newcastle away, and Andy Carroll to get the winner.

wasnt happy with £8.5K a week on offer, as he was earning £10K a week with Sheffield Wednesday.

you need to add Barrow and McNulty to your list

I understand that Steve Coppell will be a guest at the Preston game this season.
Could it be that he could become the new Director of Football?

According to the Sun newspaper,]Michael Hector is set to join Fulham in January for £8m. Does anyone know if there is a sell on clause? His sale to Sheffield Wednesday back in July which fell through, hinted at a 30% sell on clause. If the clause still stands we should receive £2.4m.

Virgin Media are in the process of moving their HQ from Hook Hampshire to Green Park. They are to move into the old Quintiles building which was vacated back in May, and is only a long goal kick from the Mad Stad. What better way to announce your arrival by sponsoring the local football team!

glad to see that the club are to retain the Royals programme at every home game. I do not buy it on a regular basis. but do buy it for up to date stats on appearances/goals scored. etc.

Brighton have had a £8m bid for Aston Villa defender James Chester rejected. This implies that they cannot reach an agreement with Reading on a fee for Liam Moore, and are looking elsewhere. Maybe he will be staying at RFC.

Ron Gourlay and John O'Shea were good mates when they were at Manchester United together. So I think it is Gourlay doing a mate a favour. If he does sign, I think it will be the most bizarre signing ever!

Ben Hamer has signed for Huddesfield on a 3 year contract, so we can cross him off as a possible replacement for Mannone should he leave.

Ben Hamer at Leicester is out of contract. I think he would be a good replacement should Mannone go

If he can also play left back, I can understand that we could sign him to cover that position. Perhaps Beerens is on the move, as he has not signed an extension to his contract like Van der Berg, and will be out of contract this June.

No mention of Meite. When does his contract expire?
