Come on, be realistic. I think you're being unfair on Wellens here (and I'm not his biggest fan after what happened) - most of the players are on holiday too. Have 1/2 weeks off then we have over 2 months to sign players. It's this perpetuation of unrealistic expectations that have people worried as we haven't signed people immediately after the season finishes (while players are still under contract and will be re-negotiating with their clubs too).

Can't imagine anyone is negotiating a full deal face to face these days very often I'd imagine most parts of the contract will be pretty standard these days. Even PFA approved. Obviously bits on slary and bonus will be changed and all that image rights crap for the Prem stars but most will be standard I'm sure so all they need to know is the money. I'd imagine *most* times they meet up "interview" wise and that's it. * We know what happens when they don't meet. And the interview is unlikely to be formal, more a chat!

singe Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) 8 transfers only so far, including Paul Green which I don't think was one really as he was a free agent.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/transfers Given the timesacles, many of the players knew their contract was not going to be renewed I believe.

Lee Sinnott Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Being unfair there, BP. I have no doubt he will be on his phone every day speaking to players, even though he is on holiday. He is a husband and a father before he is a football manager. Cut him some slack and let him have a break with his family (and I am the ringleader of the "Wellens Out" brigade)... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs improvement, but it's not like the year we had nobody for weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this new word: it's like a combination of "timescales" and "obstacles". It's just beautiful. "I'm sorry Jones, but due to the significant timesacles that we are facing, your training programme has had to be set back 10 years. Oh, by the way, your position is redundant.

Shrug - just passing on what I heard. Admittedly from a contact close to RW, so wouldn't be a shock if he was bigging up his part in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
