Re: Paul Mullin

What was the post that Couhig pulled off his X account this morning which alluded to Paul Mullin joining ? Not exactly sure with his back issues that if he did come here that he'd be back in the goals anymore And can imagine wages would be bloody high I've only seen one post on Facebook of a screen...

Re: Conflict of interests, the Hunt's

I guess the 2 risks are ripping the club off for crap players like Jiaroobcian, but also not giving impartial advice to his own players. Obviously I'm delighted we signed O'Connor, and I think S. Hunt will have genuinely considered us the best opportunity for him. But equally, his perspective will ...

Re: Conflict of interests, the Hunt's

Biggest surprise for me is he’s got a 4 year deal. Pleasant surprise I hope. Really nice to see that not only have we signed a sort after player for the level but we have tied him down to a deal for the whole of his peak years - he'll be 31 when the deal ends. Means, for a change, if he performs we...

Re: Confimred - Paudie O’Connor

Does this suggest Strickland won't be moving to first choice..... Which saddens me..... Or that Mbengue is defo off. We were alway signing at least 1 CB this summer just because we have lost Bindon & Dean, we may also still lose (and most likely will) Mbengue. Strickland will certainly be on th...

Re: Conflict of interests, the Hunt's

Scutterbucketz I imagine S Hunty looks back on his RFC time with fondness, and has communicated that to his client. My only concern is; are they any good?


O'Connor is a stand-out CB at this level with some potential to step up to Champ. Jacobs not sure about but still only 24.

Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

Elm Park Kid Announcement coming out in a bit - new signing.


Assuming O'Connor then, unless Jacobs is done or one has flown under the radar.

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

No news ever 'breaks' any more, does it? Sky Sports says 'Sheffield United to sack Chris Wilder this week.' So he either didn't know, or now he does. Or he does know but the club hasn't announced it yet. Either way, Sky Sports leading that something is going to happen, but hasn't yet. Well apparent...

Re: Club World Cup revamp

Not great but not sure what else they were expecting at 3pm on a Monday in a country where football is still not a big sport in the public conciousness. If it had been two big European/South American clubs, then it may have been busier. Yeh, tbf other than this game the crowds have generally been r...

Re: Conflict of interests, the Hunt's

looks like Paudie O'Connor is coming in, and Matty Jacobs both of which have Stephen Hunt as their agent. Is it healthy to have a football agent as the brother of our manager?

Re: Speculation - Paudie O’Connor

Pete O'Rourke, who is generally very on the money says O'Connor is having a medical today ahead of joining.

So looks like a done deal bar any issues in the medical.

Potentially a fantastic signing.

The ludicrous farce that is City ramps up further, now their own fans are threatening legal action against them over the changes to the club’s season tickets conditions that means fans must attend at least 10 games a season :shock: :lol: Good move, imo - stops people buying STs to just sell them on...

Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

It is fair to say they're ITK, so it should just be a matter of timing. The Twitter meltdowns are quite amusing. Oh yeah, Twitter is "fun" right now. It's almost as if they all just expected new owners to completely wipe the slate and we'd be off signing players left, right and centre. EF...

Would love Bayern to put double figures past Auckland.....just to show what a pointless exercise this is. 3-0 in 20 mins. And whilst Bayern did get 10, to be fair to Auckland they have competed in the Club World Cup in it's various guises for years - they even managed a 3rd place - winning a QF and...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2024/25

Would be interesting to see the stats for our Academy, gut feel says we produce more 20+ game players but that may be way off. You would think a Cat 1 academy attached to a non PL club is going to push more players through. I doubt we do, memory skews these things, for every player you can name who...
