Yup get all that just concerned that a man with very little experience is making the decision without a manager being in place but I guess just goes to show how little influence the manager will have with squad building/recruitment.
Seen the click bait about Thorup, the man sacked by Norwich if I'm not mistaken....  [Post edited 22 May 8:56]

The clocks ticking for our Director of Football to make a decision and release the list, what exactly is he afraid of, surely the players know by now whose staying, going or under discussion for contract negotiations..... |

Very good point Lblock, it's crazy that situation exists, so we will never know the truth and are saddled with the narrative that is coming from the club. |

We don't obviously but I want to hear his side of the story, in his opinion what we're the issues that caused the rift between him and Nourry, loads of speculation, then it's up to everybody what they want to believe.
My guess is Marti has gone back to Spain for a well earned rest while his agent tries to sort things out, I'm pretty sure if he wants to keep getting paid he can't talk to the press but that will all change when he gets a job.
It's supposed to be this week when we find out the players who are going to be released, maybe as a parting gesture one of them can tell us what Martis relationship was like with the players. |

The inevitability of that comment made me laugh, I genuinely think LFW is populated by a lot of intelligent people who are interested in facts which is why we question everything and don't accept gossip as some substantial information.
I don't think you can compare in any way social media, X or Facebook to the content on LFW, if somebody posts something on here then it is discussed in a sensible way, a lot of posts are personal opinions which will not surprisingly vary and create good debate.
As an example Wilkins thinks Dunne is rubbish, that his choice, I think he's been outstanding for the last couple of years, one of the main reasons we have not been relegated. I can see why he would criticise him but his positive attributes far outweigh the negatives. I have sat and watched us defend corners and set pieces for years with my heart in my mouth and having Jimmy in the back four has taken away some of that fear that we will always concede.
It's true somebody can come on here to try and manipulate the narrative but they will get called out if they can't back up their information with facts, personally I'm tired of people saying Marti didn't get on with the players, I find it very hard to believe and when he leaves I hope Clive can get an interview with him just to get the truth. |

Agreed social media is a cess pit of information, absolutely anybody can start peddling garbage on there and some people fall for it hook line and sinker as the saying goes. If somebody at the club wants to create a narrative that Marti is disliked by the players then twitter/x is their best friend.
We've all seen Marti at the end of games hugging Jimmy, that to all intents and purposes looks like a good relationship, I guess in the fullness of time we will find out exactly what Martis relationship was with the players but from the little detail we do know he had a poor relationship with Nourry.
Just maybe Jimmy had a good relationship with Marti and is pi**ed off with how he has been treated which could have caused problems with contract negotiations, personally want Jimmy to sign he is a very big player for us, he can cover two positions in defence and was one of the key reasons we stayed up. |

Only one idea springs to mind, there are other clubs like Forest who were able to do some very creative accounting when it comes to transfers which alleviates some of the pressures with FFP, it's all guesswork lets wait and see if it's more than just a rumour..... |

Not sure about the moving his family, when I did my training ground visit the guy told us that Cook travels to and from Bournemouth each day from his family home.
Agree he must be one of our highest paid players if he got an extension and considering his latest injury it was a concern as to his future availability, still personally think he is worth the deal for all the qualities he will bring in addition to his playing ability. |

The second paragraph was my initial thoughts, where's all the money coming from for these coaches who don't come cheap, have we got a new investor, if not we should be trimming the coaching staff to make sure the budget is available for player retention and recruitment.
Theres no question these jobs are a nice to have but can we really afford extra coaches, it's like we are trying to achieve a Premiership set up without the money. |

We don't that's the problem as you will gather from Clive's previews and reports, the OP has posted stuff that is apparently fact but after repeated requests can't substantiate where the information originated.
I posed the question earlier that somebody with dyslexia would be unlikely to construct the original OP, we were then told it was written with AI which is possible, personally I know nothing about AI and Chatgpt but i guess you need a reasonable amount of literacy in the first place to create an informative piece of writing.
As you rightly say for anybody to know this information it has to come from a source at the club. |

Exactly you posed the question on page 8 and it was conveniently avoided, the OP has stated he has nothing to do with the club on page 1 , so bearing in mind the total blackout of news coming from the club obviously at CNs directive how can he know this information.
We all have to make guesses about what's going on all the time but my guess is Nourry does read this site, is perturbed by the overwhelming negativity towards him and obviously wants to change that perception. He was too frightened to let Clive have his regular interview with Marti, he knows the sort of questions that would have been posed and was afraid of the potential answers.
So now we have a campaign to try and change the views of the regular contributors to LFW, not sure why but probably the insecurity that comes with being such an inexperienced CEO, therein lies most of the problem.
This screams of the Paladini years which were horrendous for his total mismanagement, getting stooges like Qblockpete and Scott Jones to continually post contrary views to try and generate some positivity.
I am genuinely wishing for the day that Marti gets another job and can then do an interview giving his side of the story, I'm sure he can't say a word if he still wants to get paid, bit like a gagging order.
As for the OP saying he has Dyslexia how the hell did he manage to post such a precise post in the first place, we've seen before genuine people with dyslexia on this board..... [Post edited 5 May 9:00]

The biggest worry is who is exactly making the decisions as we no longer have a Manager/Head Coach, oh let me guess that will be the very experienced Director of Football, what could possibly go wrong. |

Not a transfer rumour but Luton are down and some of their players may be up for grabs, not sure of Carlton Morris's contract length but it may be up this Summer, if so I think he's a good shout for the type of player we need up front, or we could just get some completely unknown player from Europe whose never played in the Championship. |

Agreed the communication lines are poor but that post for me is the best bit of news for the whole week after a serious amount of turmoil.
If we can keep Steve Cook for another season that will help big time with the squad being rebuilt, we just need Jimmy to post the same news, fingers and toes crossed.... |

Absolutely have loved Jimmy's commitment and desire to win, he is exactly the type of player you need in the Championship, I desperately hope we have the budget to offer him a contract but I can't help feeling he's off to pastures new, thanks so much......Jimmy |

I can't help but think Lee Hoos was heavily involved in the final decision, I'm guessing that Ruben puts a lot of trust in Lee and he would want Lees input before making a final decision. (Nourry is Lees man )
I'm still hugely sceptical about Twitter, anybody can create an account for their own agenda...... [Post edited 2 May 15:36]
