Given we don't have a perm manager, and probably won't get one u til after we appoint a DOF does this pose a risk to any out of contract players we are after?
Players will likely want to see who the new manager is and if they fit into his plans before they sign anything.
Means we could loose out on players by the time we appoint someone.

Fair question Bee, surely PS/ NK will be able to deal until then, but as the club is watertight on media infiltration, we may already have a gaffer/ sporting director (dof) but are not privy to who it is, but fair point about new players wanting to know who they are working under. ?.
02 Apr 2025 08:26:55
Yes they will be able to deal fork, but will a player want to sign when he doesn't know who the manager will be. Might put some off.
02 Apr 2025 09:01:41
That why I included that in my post bud, but true it could put them off.
02 Apr 2025 10:44:53
From what I can understand, and reading between the lines we have a number of offers out to Out of Contract players and for two of our current loanees.
When the new DoSO and Head Coach are appointed, they may chose to withdraw any of these offers and same goes for the players, they may also opt not to sign.
There is one deal concluded for a new LW, other than that most of the potential new recruits have been identified and will be reviewed by the new DoSO and Head Coach who will join the signing committee.

Good info EHL, many thanks ?.
02 Apr 2025 11:58:00
The LW I think you mentioned before EHL. Any reason why hasn't been announced?
Will they be a starter or back up for Cortes?
02 Apr 2025 12:12:13
Ehl without putting yourself in a position mate can u tell us anything about this winger? Nationality or league or anything like that? If not bro we understand that position totally.
02 Apr 2025 13:56:15
Would that left winger happen to be Moroccan winger driouech from PSV Eindhoven, EHL ?.
02 Apr 2025 14:46:13
LW is young, African and will cost around £2m - there was some chat around him on hear in January, so someone is either well connected or is great at guess who.
02 Apr 2025 14:47:02
Ehl. Is their excitement around the lèft winger let's say. Trickery etc. Will he get that fans excited?
02 Apr 2025 14:54:22
Young and African?
So it's not Ryan Kent then - phew?.
02 Apr 2025 14:54:54
Ok thanks EHL.
02 Apr 2025 15:00:20
Cheers mate.
02 Apr 2025 15:00:20
Sure there was another moroccan mentioned but wasn't driouech can't remember now. Might have been the egyptian Ibrahim Adel i'm thinking of.
02 Apr 2025 15:09:34
Mofokeng EHL?
02 Apr 2025 15:10:07
Relebohile mofokeng ?.
02 Apr 2025 15:11:45
I wonder if it's that Makoena lad we were linked with or maybe the Egyptian boy you're eluding to EHL. I can't remember the RW you mentioned on live that we were after from Belgium but I hope we are still after him as at the time he looked good just canny remember the name. Friggin old age man!
02 Apr 2025 15:55:36
Could be Omari Forson, we tried to sign him late in the January window. Monza now, previously Man United.
Born in London but both his parents are Ghanaian.
02 Apr 2025 18:56:32
Sounds like mofokoeng to me.
So we will have him and Cortes on the left by sounds of it.
Really hope we can pull off a deal for cerny.
02 Apr 2025 20:52:43
Ibrahim Adel or Mouad Dahak.
02 Apr 2025 21:26:18
Lol, didn't realise we'd been linked to so many African Left Wingers.
