Pre-Season

Following on from Jonty's post about the Man United match in Norway, in years gone by, the lads have headed off to tour in places like Australia and Myanmar with a pre-season deemed important on so many levels, fitness, camaraderie, familiarisation etc.

With only U21 coaches and Marcos Abad in post, as far as I am aware no schedule has been drawn up other than the one game in Scandinavia.

Another issue of concern.

players we already have for this league:
Ayling
Cooper
Dallas
Harrison
Rodrigo
Koch

^^^

Harrison
Rodrigo
Koch

These may well all be gone. So not available
to us in this league. Plus, Dallas is coming back
from a serious injury. No guarantee he'll be
anything close to what he was. And two years
older or two seasons.

We're going to need a bigger boat.

Thing is with not knowing exactly who is going, is we haven't a clue as to who is coming!..

We all know things are going slow with the bods checking to see where Bates or Cellino are hiding, so we'd best hope the 49ers have slung them into the same pit that these people let them crawl out off the first time they came to us!..

And filled it in with very heavy concrete!..

Once they find that they're no longer here than things should go a little smoother, but its better to let them do a proper check then ballsing things up like what seems to be the norm for us!..

Exactly.

From what we have now abd wgat we should be able to buy with our parachute money and fees for selling players we should have more than enough for this league.

Should walk it back up, would have to be a fook by owners.

I read that the 49’ers do business very close to their chest. They don’t do speculation and big announcements until they are ready and everything is in place.

Much as I was grateful for Radz buying the club, the ground, hiring Bielsa and getting us promoted - he was a media man who often spoke (often crap) before he thought and before things were in place.

I think he was also hoping to cash in with the Far East by taking us over there for pre-season. Unfortunately we don’t play in red 😏

Maybe this is a new way of doing things - line up the ducks - shoot them - then tell the fans. Hard for us that crave information but let’s see how it goes first.

The other option is that they might be just useless chancers 😏
