Interesting comments made Rahim Sterling in interview about what’s wrong at Chelsea. He said “going on his experience at previous club” there is no organisation and you need a strong manager who knows what he wants, the players he wants and how he wants to play. I can’t see there is a right or wrong to this argument - it’s all down to the size and type of club, and the quality of the people involved. I’m sure there is no DOF who knows what the City team needs better than Guardiola. Didn’t work at Spurs either. Conte didn’t like the players he had. If Sterling says Chelsea needs a manager I’d trust he knows what he’s talking about. Problem is we went through three managers last season. We can't afford to allow each manager to rip up the team and tactics when on average they only last a few months. For Chelsea the money is irrelevant. so if it’s not working for a coach we get rid of him but still employ the same players and same tactics? Don’t we employ the new guy to change things? I’m not drawing a comparison with Prem money only Sterling’s assertion that you need someone in charge. Otherwise DOF assembles a poor squad and coach carries the can. |

Well developing skilful young players with sell on value by playing possession based football has not been discredited in my view. We failed because Wart faced abandoned us and then his replacement couldn’t motivate the players. It’s good to have a head coach with a strong personality - agree with you there - but I’d consider it a massively backward step if Ainsworth were given the freedom to rip up the game plan and bring in his type of cloggers. But suspect budgets might prevent many incoming anyway |

But suspect budgets might prevent many incoming anyway Budgets is correct, he said as much in his latest interview. We won't be spending massive amounts but he's looking to bring in his own players and put his stamp on the place. He said we will have to do it by working hard and not spending. Also alluded to it taking longer than people might want it to, next season probably looking at comfortable mid table with a push for the top 10. |

With interest already being reported in Seny Dieng, QPR promote one of their younger 'keepers to the first team squad.
He can be seen here being put through his paces by Lyndon Dyke's replacement at the new training ground.
Great save - have to say he looks pretty good!

Rumours that Eze is attracting big interest...
Hoos must be getting very excited (if the rumoured 25% sell-on fee is true)...

Rumours that Eze is attracting big interest... Hoos must be getting very excited (if the rumoured 25% sell-on fee is true)... Yes, then he'll be able to create new groundbreaking inititiaves that will attract more fans to Loftus Road. Something like hmmmmmm.... Free pies for the first 5 new customers 🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧 What a genius. |

Even if we got £10m given how monumentally fucked we are right now would be amazing. On current trend we are facing the abyss in two years time, given our failure to produce saleable assets (laced with some bad luck with Willock), Ebs could be what saves us a Championship club.

That probably depends on what they paid us for him in the first place. Old cynic that I am, and given Les’ record with transfers, I doubt it was anywhere near what we think it was. |

It’s in the accounts that Palace paid £17m.
Sky reported that we would receive 20% of any further transfer fee plus extras for England apps from Palace.

Makes sense if it is the total fee, as we all thought the initial fee was low at the time.
I keep hearing about England cap but I havent seen anyone actually quote a figure.

For the record, never heard of him. And the fact he plays for Aberdeen in a pub league means that if he were linked with us people would be up in arms. |

Think Eze has his head screwed on, seems a balanced, intelligent and thoughtful individual.
I think he could well show loyalty to Palace, weigh up his options carefully and not jump at the first offer from a bigger club to come his way.
And Palace will want to keep him - against all the odds, they managed to hold on to Zaha, who's played there since 2015 (not including earlier spells on loan from Man U).
Can't believe Eze is still only 24!

Why do they bother saying ‘undisclosed’ if it comes out in the accounts anyway? I would guess that it provides some confidentiality for both clubs for a year. I’m reasonably certain that from this year the dates for accounting has changed, it’s now being assessed from January to December. |

I read somewhere that we were interested in Chris Forino from Wycombe. He`s a defender and 24 years of age. He is relatively quick.
