I've got a feeling it might have been, you know. Explains why is was drawn out in public.

Credit where it is due Cappy.

Any early insight on transfer plans / contract renewals?

No, nothing on that stuff anymore since the owner change

TBF everything I mentioned earlier was pretty much already out there. It’s the only reason I was told, I reckon. More of a confirmation of truth. Peck (agent) actively looking for a prem club was definitely news at the time though, but has since also been reported by others. Don’t know why I was told that as the new owners are very serious about controlling sensitive info.

What about the ”Sellés is shit” claims? Anyone from the board confirming that yet?

Replacement already lined up

I get Peck wanting to leave if West Ham, Brentford or a Palace are in for him, but just wanting to leave before any interest is even shown is a bit shitty.
It also devalues him too, not that we have to sell.

That said, if it means keeping Gus or even Souza for one more season (now Arblaster is back) I think a lot of us would accept that.

If we can keep Gus for next season that would be a real boost. Souza would be good too, but out of the two Hamer at this level is a true game changer.

I'm a bit concerned that with the manager change, you don't know what players or agents are thinking.
Obv. of our more prized assets aside from Anel they all have more than 1 year left meaning we can negotiate good prices or even tell clubs bidding to f'off.

But the problem comes when a player says they want to leave.

I'd have preferred Wilder to stay but he hasn't. My concern now is if we were to lose Peck, Hamer, Souza and maybe Anel.
Who are we replacing them with from Bulgaria? But really who are we replacing any of them with because they are all tall orders to find when we are still at champ level.

I'd have more confidence in Selles being able to deliver a good run at top 2 or top 6 if he's not lost any or many of our better players...
Unless our recruitment really does work, but I'd be lying if I wasn't a bit worried about it being led by a poker player.

He's slightly more than just a poker player though.

Also bare in mind that Brentford and Brighton's successes over the last few years have come on the back of being owned by in effect professional gamblers. For these guys data and statistics is literally behind their whole business model.

I'm not saying our owners will have that type of success but the whole "data driven" approach is a lot more than just asking Siri who we should sign.

All of which is absolutely correct, but doesn’t fit the agenda.
