Summer 2026 Transfer Window Thread

[Law's Bus]

I remember a long time ago posting we had never had a manager poached by a bigger club and someone said there was one pre-war but can’t remember any more details.

No, it's literally never happened that we've had a manager move directly to another club.

I'm pretty sure that we've sacked or they've resigned like McGarry (the second time).

Bert Hoskins?

Secretary, not manager back in those days.

I can't believe I've been outdone by retroactive semantics!

Everton did try to take Nuno off us in his first six months here and he said no.

Similar with Mick and South Korea

Dan tried to convince North Korea to take Lage off us...does that count?

Never the same after Who Framed Roger Rabbit IMO

There were people on here (who shall remain nameless....for now) who were genuinely concerned AND genuinely believed that someone like Sevilla might come in and take Lage off us.

Pelsall Villa maybe.

It was a Brazilian side wasn’t it?

It was just idle speculation on here when he was "doing well" (didn't bloody feel like it watching his football and relying on Sa somehow having the best three months of his career), that was the kind of club that was mooted.

He did end up at Botafogo tbf

[Tony Towner]

All for nostalgia, but he's 36, hopefully part of the coaching team if anything.

 

[Lycan]

Start him tomorrow.

 

[NicholasG1973]

He’d still be our best player.

 

[HanDoJin]

Never liked a player more. Leadership from head to toe

 

[FinWolf]

He was still captaining Morocco before his injury couple of months ago. Would be first step in building some proper leadership into the group.

He's retired from International football and has spent the last 3 seasons playing in a pub league where his last club is releasing him at the end of his contract.

He never had any legs anyway. Gerrim in
