January Window Gossip/Rumours


Recommended Posts

Could be a bit tricky this window, no manager in place yet which we desperately need.

If Wild was to be given the job until the end of the season,we have a man at the helm with no contacts and no experience of player recruitment.

Would we be reliant on the Sporting Director to bring in new talent or just the :clown: ?

Their knowledge of the English market i feel may be questionable and just to compound matters further an EFL team can only have a maximum of 7 overseas players in a matchday squad.

Where do all :clown: signings come from?

I think based on the previous signings the owner and sporting director and making the signings not the manager.

Are we a bit of a club to swerve now given the goings on at BP, word must get around within the game that the place is a bit of a circus, you also have to question what player (particularly an experienced one) is going to want to come here and work for Pete Wild, afterall we do have experience of a youth phase coach coming into the club and making the jump to manager, qualified up to the eyeballs only to be undermined by everyone from the Chairman to the playing staff until his position became untenable.

Missilou

Branger

Nepo

Maouche

Sylla

No room for any more frenchlads. not even if we were loaned a Griezman or Mbappe.   

Any signings from now need to be UK or replacements for what we already have.

Except that’s not the regulation. Each club must name 7 home-grown players in their match day squad. Given there are 18 in the squad that means 11 don’t have to be home-grown.

 

As Iversen has been registered with Leicester since Jan 2016, he may now be home-grown. As home-grown doesn’t include a player’s nationality.

 

See https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/section-5--fixtures/ (33.8 to 33.13)
