I heard a rumour today at St James that Newcastle would send Osula to us on loan if they get Delap. Based on his brief time on the pitch today, I’d take that (if we’re going to lose Delap).
Something that I don't think has been mentioned about the Delap release clause...
Yes - Man City could exercise their supposed £40m buyback and sell him on OR we could lose him for £30m once relegated...
BUT (and this might be naive what with the ruthlessness of football)
Is there a possibility Delap could sign a new contract with us to remove the clause? I only say it because (and this could be the naive part) Ipswich signed him and helped him be the player he is. He might feel he owes it to the club to repay that by signing the contract to remove it, still with an agreement to sell to a Premier League team, but without a clause stipulating the amount.
So…let’s assume we’re down. Delap will go for £40m and we have parachute payments. Would anyone else jump ship?
Who replaces Delap? Does Kieran go back in for Broja? Would he even come to the Championship?
The difference next season is that we’re signing players for a PL return.
Will Cajuste stay? Downes will go down with Southampton - will we renew our interest?
Ben Doak from Liverpool was linked…and McKenna doesn’t lose interest in players he likes…but the figures quoted would be beyond us as a Championship club I feel.
We've just had an e-mail to say that some of Block C needs to be reconfigured and our tickets are no longer available. We were located just above Block D.
Before I start, clearly I understand the temptation to be linked with a huge club, also a club you support...but there almost seems more to this. Does Kieran actually want to be our manager? There was Palace last year, which Phil says came closer than we realised. Two weeks after we get promoted Brighton, Chelsea and Man Utd - with the reports (supposedly leaked by agent) almost treating us with contempt. Has there been some fall out between Kieran and Ipswich? It feels like anything is better to him at the moment than managing our football club.
Is it fair to say he wasn’t our first choice? A very decent back up plan - but I suspect he wasn’t who we were after yesterday. My only logic is that Baggott didn’t get his loan move.
I know in the grand scheme it's really not important...but with the current kits being further reduced on Friday...do we think the club are going to release the designs and wear the new shirt on the final home game of the season?
