King Luke to Swansea

[OP67]

I think he lives in Newport, that's where his wife's fitness business is based anyway

So a 50 mile drive, so hardly a reason to leave Swansea.

Seems like it's a lot of money for you lot as you're obviously still haggling the price 🤣

Newport is still a 3 hour round trip to Swansea and that journey would take the p"*s every day.

Losing 5-1 to sutton 🤢

I bet on you lot the other day when you lost 4-2

Was that just going all out to equalise?

As when Russel was here we would play suicidal football.

Passing out of the back and the high press would have us, through defensive errors.

He won't get many 5-1 drubbings here.

Honestly He will have untill the end of the season and maybe 10 games next season to get it right.

We are not going up this year or going down.

I think we only need another 5 wins and we are safe.

I hope he gets backed?

Other than langstaff who else would you think he could take with him?

Have you got any wing backs that can defend and attack?

[legs77]

Sorry Legs77 but the BBC will report anything that'll get them clicks mate. Maybe the club haven't said anything because there's nothing to say, why should they?

We’ll find out tomorrow is my bet.

Nobody has said anything as it is not confirmed I never said it was done but it will be far too much smoke.

I hope you are right and most are wrong and he stays

Randall is a great wing back and Junior Morias would make a great partner for Langstaff. Richard Brindly is a rock at the back. I think they would all be additions to your squad. Dan Crowley, Jodi Jones and John Bostock aren't all that, so don't believe anyone who says they are. We don't mind hanging on to them.

[marshall55]

That sounds like an angry mrs pulling him by the ear tbh.

Honestly we are gonna look like a tin pot club if a league 2 manager says no thank you.

Who would you want to replace him if he does go to us.

Sheehan has links with Notts, surely he will be relieved of his duties with Harley coming in too.

Going all out to equalise? 😂 ❎

Suicidal football? 😂 ✅

High press causing defensive errors ✅

Wing backs that can defend? 😂 ❎

Sounds like you know the potential problems with LW already! You’ll score a lot and see some fine football in the meantime though I suppose, as long as your dodgy owners don’t fire him after ten games!

The longer this goes on though I do wonder. They sound like the kind of owners to weasel their way out of paying any compensation by asking Luke to just quit and join them….a bit like Allardyce did. Has Luke got that in him?

We do have a couple of great goal keepers you may like to take off our hands 🤞

Ha ha your last question made me laugh, the answer would be no and sometimes they can't do either. We lost on Monday cause we can't defend, lost a major midfielder for the season 2 months ago, have no squad depth and like giving penalties away. We also don't play very well in second halves for some reason. Also we're quite lightweight and don't really have any aggressive players. When this style of football works it's beautiful but when the players haven't been confident or haven't mucked in then we can look pretty poor. We're still building though from NL and aren't Wrexham ha ha.

"Passing out of the back and the high press would have us, through defensive errors"

This could sum up alot of our problems but with being 2 leagues higher, then you should cope with it better than we do.

Agree, Kent can spot a player when he wants so sign away.

Wingbacks as well? You say your owners are penny pinching and still haven’t paid for a player. Firstly you have to stump up for LWs and RHs compensation, rumoured in excess of 500k, Langstaff is going to cost at least 2m so I would probably concentrate with the job in hand at the moment.

[Could'vebeenacontender]

Like I said American owners penny pinching.

It is a chance that they will move the goal posts.

If the both clubs don't come up with a price.

It will go to tribunal,

We have form for it as well to be fair.
We still haven't paid for Josh Key off Exeter.

Southampton Hired Russel Martin off us before they were a championship side.
But are trying to say they were a championship team.

I think we are saying they owe us 1.5m
they are saying 500k

But I hope that that situation doesn't happen to you lot.
A championship side can absorb a loss like that.
Lower down you are the harder it is.

As I said I wouldn't be surprised if it did fall through.
If it does there will be alot of angry Swansea fans at the next home game.

We are all ready getting yanks out chants at games.

Bloody hell sounds like Luke's going to work for very different owners than he's had here
Being ruthless might make you a lot of money
But not many friends
Luke lives in Newport and the deal at Swansea is life changing for him and his family
He loves everything about Notts but like all of us sometimes an opportunity comes along that you can't refuse
Good luck to him
