Reply | Jonathan Varane contract extension

CEO Christian Nourry said: “Before I discuss this new contract, I appreciate the end to the season has not been as smooth as we all would have liked with Martí Cifuentes being placed on gardening leave. I also understand questions fans may have regarding that decision.
“When we are in a position to communicate on this, we will absolutely do so. Right now, what is important is that we continue our preparations for 2025/26.
“With that in mind, it is with immense pleasure that we announce that Jona has extended his contract with the football club.
“Not only does he have the human qualities to be a future leader of the football club, but, as a number 6, his profile is increasingly rare, being able to combine physicality with high-level ball carrying and technical qualities.
“Jona heads into 2025/26 with eyes wide open about the areas of further improvement that he needs to make with Kevin (Betsy, Individual Development Coach) and the rest of the coaching staff in order to take the next step.” |

Wonder if this was done a few weeks ago, was weird that he was in the room with Marti when he did a pre match interview, I thought it might be something like this |

Dunne should be waiting and seeing what offers he gets, you'd hope QPR offer him something and then he'll likely make a decsion next month about where he wants to go.
Whoever loses in the playoffs you'd think he would be an ideal signing for them |

Both my Grandads fought in the war, one was in the Navy which he joined in his own words so he could meet some women and he ended up fighting Germans instead. When he was ill in hospital with a few weeks to go he asked the nurse if he could have some whiskey that I had got him from america. She said "Oh do you have grand children over in America", he answered "Probably, I was stationed over there for a few months during the War and a had a lovely time"
My other Grandad was in the Airforce and later worked in the war rooms for Churchill
This is taken from an article about him with a bit about his part in VE Day
"I was born in Balmoral Castle and I grew up in Windsor Castle …” Tony Jack told me proudly without bragging, “… they were both pubs in Canning Town.” It was a suitably auspicious beginning for an East End hero who was barely out of his teens before he joined the RAF and sent this picture home inscribed, “To Mother, Myself in a rear cockpit of a Harvard with the sun in my eyes. Love Tony.” Yet destiny had greater things in store for Tony, he was appointed to secret government work in Princes Risborough, where his sharp young eyes qualified him as an expert in photographic interpretation of aerial surveys, snooping on Jerry. If Tony spotted activity behind enemy lines, the information was relayed to our spies in the field who went to make a reconnaissance.
From there, young Tony was transferred to work in the Cabinet War Rooms deep beneath Whitehall where he barely saw daylight for weeks on end, taking solace in rooms lit with ultraviolet to induce the sensation of sunlight. Tony was involved in developing photographs of the blitz and making maps, but at the culmination of hostilities he was brought the document that ended the war, to photograph it and make fifty copies. With his outstanding eye for detail, Tony noticed that the date had been altered in ink from 7th May to 8th May 1945, and, with the innocent audacity of youth, Tony tentatively asked Winston Churchill if he would prefer this aberration photographically removed. “The Americans wanted the war to end on one date and the Russians wanted it to end on another,” growled the great man to the impertinent young whippersnapper in triumph, “But I got my way, May 8th!” And thus the correction duly remained in place upon the historic document.

The day he missed training was the day he went on gardening leave so imagine it was all going on behind the scenes that day which is why he didn't take training |

He could go on to be better than Messi, he is so good and exciting to watch, reminds me of ROnaldinhio, just can't wait to see what he does when he's on the ball |

They used VAR well last night no long delays, it should still get in the bin though as last night was not the norm for that nonsence |

Reply | Head of Set Pieces role
at 10:13 7 May 2025
I'm not against having a set piece coach but it should be upto the manager if you have one for the 1st team, it feels at the moment like what does the manager do? He's not signing players, he's now not invovled with set pieces, his role is very limited |

What I loved was no goalkeepers pretending to be dead, no real time wasting just get on with the game let the best team win. Was a brilliant watch |

He's gone and I don't see a quick resolution to this. QPR could pay him off but get no compensation, most vacancies coming up won't be done quickly imo. Sounds like Leicester are waiting on Liam Manning and if Bristol City go up or not, Southampton as well waiting until the premier league ends before appointing anyone
There is no rush for Marti he could just wait a few weeks/months and see what offers come in |

Reply | "Gardening Leave" - what exactly does this mean ??
at 14:30 6 May 2025
what small print should he have looked for?
We still don't know officially the reason he is on gardening leave, the whole thing is a bit of a mess
I still think if we'd done nothing last week that Marti would be West Brom manager soon and we'd have some money to show for it rather than us now having some expensive lawyers to pay for |

Oh yeah I completly agree they might go with Furlong or similair, it's the trend at the moment to go for those type of coaches |
