    There may be nothing in it.

    But this is the biggest single transfer day in the clubs history, which includes the clubs record signing - and the manager can't be seen anywhere?

    Is he having a say in who we buy or is he just being given a squad and told to coach it?

    The latter I reckon. The players coming in are being dictated by Rush and Morris in my opinion.


    SR: Paul, go and get me a coffee!

    PC. Yes boss, coming up boss

    MM. I want a wagon wheel with my coffee!

    PC. Yes other boss, I will nip down to the Spar now!

    I don't understand why some people have to read things into situations. The fact that PC is not in either picture is of little or no consequence. He has a job to do which is more important than photo ops. I feel certain that he has had input into the choice of players............................... But that's also speculation.

    re: Just curious

    Rattea has struck upon something here, but I'm not sure exactly what his point is.

    The structure is as follows:

    Mel Morris (plus board) - Supplying the dough
    Sam Rush - Deal maker
    Chris Evans - Head of Scouting
    Paul Clement - Head Coach

    Paul Clement will have a major say in getting what he needs to put a successful squad together. It would be ludicrous to suggest otherwise. MM is a business man, and a very successful one, he isn't stupid enough to think he should be choosing players, dictating transfers etc.

    The Paul Clement is a 'yes' man stuff is simply destabilising nonsense from fans who really should know better.

    Maybe just who was available at the time, but Ramondo has a point, certainly in pre-season it was Clement photographed with the likes of Bent and Weimann. The dough and deal makers were much more low profile.

    re: Just curious

    Are we seriously discussing who was in the photos on deadline day?

    Can't we start a thread about how excited we are about the team we're putting together?

    I would've but I can't be *********d now.
