    Have you ever considered that you might not be the best person to head up the Teeside Tourist Office?😉

    New Manager Poll

    Cooper for me but we'll have to outbid Notre Dame for his services.

    How can the squad be improved in January?

    That's the theory and I hope that it's correct. However, the nagging doubt in the back of my mind, now that John Berylson is sadly no longer with us, is that Chestnut Hill now views the football side of things as secondary. The success of the regeneration of the area around the Den is not...

    I agree that most of us - certainly including me - have no idea of what goes/ has gone on behind the scenes, but I'd question whether recruitment this past summer was that great. Coming in were Ivanovich, Azzez, Langstaff, Jensen, Kelly, Wintle, Roberts, Hutch, Tango, Coburn and Scanlon with...

    I'm not sure. Even in the old days, managers often wouldn't do the scouting themselves. They would say to the scouts, 'Go find me a #10', and the scouts would return with a list of recommendations. The manager would then probably go along to one or two games to watch the targets for himself...

    Harris Stepping Down

    😂 Would be interesting to see what reaction he would get if he mentioned that he's 'The Special One'🤔

    Harris Stepping Down

    @33lion: The Southwark News article seems to support your theory. With hindsight the departure of Steve Kavanagh might be seen as a turning point. Harris obviously knew and had a good working relationship with him and Aldridge. Their departure led to a new regime and it appears this new working...

    Palace in talks to sign Esse!

    With any luck, other clubs might show an interest. It won't make any difference to what we get now - the 'release clause' is both a ceiling and a floor - but we might get a better deal regarding any 'sell on' clause. Anyone but Palace is my hope.

    Millwall v Coventry match thread

    The last two performances have been poor, but prior to that we had played pretty well in most games. I wouldn't criticise Harris too much for the team he sent out yesterday; especially the defence where he had little choice. I thought Murray would struggle but one brain fade aside, he did well...

    Emakhu

    I agree with all you say. However, for all Honeyman's effort he creates next to nothing. Maybe play Esse as a 10 and bring Emakhu in on the wing.

    Palace in talks to sign Esse!

    In the example I used, if there is no release clause we could simply say that we have rejected Palace's bid but accepted Everton's. In other words, Esse would have the choice of joining Everton or staying with us. Palace would not be an option for him. (Note to others: I'm using an example to...

    Palace in talks to sign Esse!

    Let's hope so. £15m+?

    Palace in talks to sign Esse!

    Let's say release clause is £12m. Palace bid £12m. Everton come in and bid £15m. Club accepts Everton's bid. Esse says 'No thanks. I prefer to stay in London'. How can the club prevent Esse joining Palace?

    Palace in talks to sign Esse!

    How can there be a bidding war if the release clause is met? It will be up to Esse to decide who he wants to join.

    Sad news. RIP Boss. You'll never be forgotten. Agree that there should be some lasting tribute to him at the ground.
