The market is right for us to hopefully get a few hundred thousand for him. There will be a bit of money kicking around in L1 next year with the three promoted sides all having decent budgets, plus Rotherham and probably two of Huddersfield, Birmingham and Wednesday. |

To be far to Leeds they're probably about neutral with officiating, they got screwed over at home to Sunderland and West Brom.
Saints are the ones who've had virtually everything their own way. Ridiculous penalty v Norwich at home, Plymouth goal disallowed for no reason, handball missed before the Downes winner against Watford, joke of a red for Birmingham against them. |

I prefer to think of the scenario where we only need a point to go up and Huddersfield need one to stay in the division! |

Presumably Leicester had one for the disallowed goal at Elland Road, QPR got one for Bamford diving to get Begovic sent off and so did Preston for the Dan James dive for the penalty. |

As others have said it was a bigger offence that what Axel got booked for but still not enough in it to give the foul. |

Pearson bombed him out after a few months but he's got back in under Manning and has done well. A very good dribbler.
I can't see a situation where he'd come to us though. If we stay down I doubt he'd want to make the move and if we go up we'll probably look for better. |

Reply | Southgate on borrowed time?
at 22:51 25 Mar 2024
Whether or not he excels in club management is irrelevant. They're completely different jobs with separate skillsets. To use the 2022 World Cup as an example, Argentina won it with Lionel Scaloni in charge, who had never been a club manager before. At the other end of the spectrum, Germany and Spain took treble winning coaches to the tournament and were both dreadful. Plenty of other examples too, including in our own history with Fabio Capello.
Also worth noting that while Southgate's in-game tactics are a weakness, he's made plenty of bold pre-game choices that paid off. Before the opening game of the Euros against Croatia, social media was in uproar at his choice to play Trippier at left back, yet it completely nullified Ivan Perisic's threat cutting in from the right. The formation switch against Germany was roundly criticised but it proved to be completely the correct decision as well.
I think it will naturally be time for a change in the summer but history will be a lot kinder to him than Twitter currently is. |

Hope it doesn't come to it but if we stay down and McKenna gets poached, I think Rohl will be our manager next season. |

Owain Glwyndr is a good shout. About half an hour away from the ground and they do a nice breakfast too. |

Disagree with the last line. Euro finals fair enough but in the World Cup, we took the game to France and were the better team. We lost because of a penalty miss and some dodgy officiating. |

Reply | Davis for £20m+

The record sale for a Championship player (excluding from clubs who've just come down) is Ollie Watkins for £28m.
If we don't go up and a club offers £20m, he'll go. I'd go as far as to say we'd be stupid not to accept. Shifting assets is the only way to create more FFP headroom and we'll need that to raise the floor of the squad and give us enough depth to give it a go next season. |

I think we'll ultimately settle for a figure in the mid to high teens. The shortage of left-backs definitely gives us more leverage than we otherwise would.
As an aside, the thought of selling Davis if we stay down doesn't worry me as much as it would other players. He's excellent but we set up in a way that maximises his output. The replacement will be a drop off initially but the attacking license our left back gets in the build up will give a decent opportunity for whoever comes in to rack up 8-10 assists at least. |

Some odd takes on there but fans forming opinions of players based on one or two games against their club is nothing new.
There were lots of Town fans clamouring for the signing of Sinclair Armstrong, a striker with one goal this season, because of a decent performance against us at Loftus Road. |
