With paul jewell looking to add pace to his team he has sounded out andros townsend and danny rose as possible targets..... He sees rose as a better player as he has versatility to play fullback aswell. Ipswich are hoping to complete deals for both of them in the next fortnight

Martin Cranie to turn down an improved contract offer from Coventry City to move to Leicester City
Leicester you can dream on, why would he move to a club like Leicester when he wont be played as they buy someone new every year and they have no decent prospects of getting promoted. He wont stay at Cov though unfortunately
Have "No decent prospects of gettin promoted", its only a matter of time before were back in the prem...fact!
Enjoy League 1 lol
LeicesterLad
Hell will freeze over before leicester get to the prem
Yh yh we will see! Are you forgetting how successful we were under o'neill in the prem with a smaller stadium & no money? consistant top 10 finishes, 2 league cups & uefa cup football
Keep hating! The foundations for success are there..only a matter of time

Preston have are obviously trying to mount a similar challenge as charlton did which will be hard to do so especially when their manager is so boring and predictable. Preston are turning into a group of over achieving Stevenage players (non-league players) i know they had a poor squad this season but the squad being put together, i have a feeling that it will disappoint alot of people. There isnt enough quality. Second rrate. Play offs at best.
31 May 2012 23:13:04
why are carlise ,tranmereand bury fans so bitter and twisted towards pne ,is because they have done most of there signings before anyone else ffs get a grip

Brendan Rodgers is not a fan of Andy Carroll and will want to get rid, he will spend the money on Demba Ba, but he is most likely to join Tottenham and Scott Sinclair.
Rodgers is also a fan off Scotland under 21 wingers and striker Gary Mackay Steven,and was linked to a move to Swansea City.

(gossip from the britannia stadium) if Huth is sold Stoke may use the money for an uncharacteristic move for Chievo's bargain Italian defender Marco Andreolli valued at aprox £1.5m (although at only 6ft 1" I'm not sure if he's tall enough for a Stoke centre half).
31 May 2012 20:43:44
Hey Ed are there any strong Charlton rumors that might come true?
31 May 2012 21:30:21

The new Norwich boss will be Lee Clark. Clarky will hope to sign the following with the boards money:
Jordan Rhodes - Rhodes would prefer to play in the prem and for Clark
Kyle Naughton - Awesome loan spell here and more of a club signing than his own
Henri Lansbury - Available as 1yr left on contract
Dani Pacheco - Great impact here
Lee Peltier may be available from Leicester if we don't get Naughton
Robert Snodgrass - Long interest and looks like this deal may finally be finished
Scott Sinclair - Lee Clark is a big admirer of the young winger and will go all out to get him

sam hird hopefully joining chesterfield fc
tomorrow
31 May 2012 20:15:25
Agree or Disagree but this is a genuine question.
Would Grant Holt,Arron Lennon and Adam Johnson not be a better bet than Downing,Henderson and Carroll? One had 2 good games in last month of season,2 were total flops in the season!!
Not Grant Holt!!
Rickie lambert instead of holt but yes johnson in and crouch instead of carroll lennon is rubbish
Holty is miles better than carroll...
I am sorry if you honnestly think Holt deserves a chance then so do Ricky Lambert he scored 27 goals, granted in the Championship and Danny Graham he scored 12 goals only 3 behind Holt. Dont get me wrong i am not surgesting these two should be in the England team. All i am saying if Holt in your opinion deserves a chance the so do these 2 in my opinion.
Crouch, lennon and johnson instead of the 3 you mentioned
31 May 2012 20:07:05
Reading fc HAVE bid for Gylfi Sigurdsson, but doesnt mean he will sign still a lot of competition. deal may be less than Swansea's as we have a sell on fee. posted it a few days ago and said it was probably BS but a bid HAS been made.
MrRfc
31 May 2012 20:04:38
A hotshot is a striker being able to score 20 goals or more in a season not someone who averages a goal every 16.88 games
31 May 2012 20:04:28
The rumour regarding Ryan mcguffie is alot of rubbish as he has just sighed a new 1year contract with queens as well as Lee Robinson and chris higgins.

just going to clear everthing up for you all, sigurdsson deal is still on at the moment so noone has tabled a bid for him! brendan rodgers has said he has caused enough problems at swansea and has said he will not buy any of them! our next manager will be
hollway(blackpool said they wont stand in his way if a bigger club comes in),
poyet(was a previous swans target)
rafa benitez(been out of the job for a while and he knows the spainish football way swansea play)
avb(when asked whether he would go to swans he simply said "who knows")
di matteo(if he is not offered the chelsea job he could come to us).

Huddersfield Town Rumours:-
PROBABLE INS
- Kyle Lafferty [575k after something was triggered in his clause, he can now Leave Rangers for this price]
- Paul Quinn [Free transfer after being released from Cardiff]
- Grant McCann [Undisclosed fee, expected to be around 800k-1.5million. He has been transfer listed by Peterborough]
- Ben Parker [Free transfer after being released from Leeds]
Sean Morrison [1 million from Reading]
COMMENTS WELCOME, BUT DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE TRYING TO CORRECT ME
We sell Lafferty for £3m now he can go for £500k no wonder rangers are in s**t.
31 May 2012 19:19:45

31 May 2012 17:29:11
Peterborough have been linked with everyone but would be happy as a Posh fan if they just signed someone! Even a new tea lady would do!
Adrian Durham would make a good tea lady
31 May 2012 17:20:14
I am a Reading fan and a very excited one. Back in the Premiership again, and loads of rumours, money to spend, and I am not one of deluded these fans who thinks we are going to be in the Champions League final in three years, but when you look at all of the managerial changes and players going in and out of clubs, I can really see Reading being mid table at the end of next season. Swansea, Norwich, Southampton, West Ham, West Brom, Stoke, Wigan, Fulham, Sunderland, Liverpool (Don't think BR will do much at Anfield), Everton, Villa ... Reading are quite capable of taking points off of all of these teams, and last time we were in the Premiership, the only team we did not take points off was Arsenal in our two seasons there. Don't write us off. The good times are coming.
You wont sign any top players because they dont fancy flogging their guts out to finish mid table at best,the only games you will play in europe is swansea,and nobody wants to live in dreading
31 May 2012 16:57:52
This is not a rumour but mostly opinions...
Brendan Rogers:
Liverpool fans need to stick with him, he will do a good job for you but it won't happen overnight you fans need to realise that you are not the force that you were 30/40 years ago and never will be if you choose to keep changing mangers, he will have a three year plan and needs the time to see it out.
It's all ready evident what manager changes do, with two manager changes in recent seasons' you have gone from champions league qualifiers to a side that struggled, and just managed a top 10 finish and were lucky to beat a championship side in a cup final.
Have patience.
You may be lucky, can't see Carroll getting much game time any more, Suarez will probably be joined with another quality wide man for the other flank and a good striker who can play football on the deck.
As for Rodgers raiding Swansea pool fans should not be worried because if he did take anyone they would be good enough...Vorm, Williams, Allan, dyer and Sinclair could all do a good job for Liverpool but I don't think it will happen.
Best buy he will make for you which will probably affect Swansea is Caulker, in my opinion, one of, if not the best centre half in the league
From a Swansea fan point of view I'm gutted, just heard that he has taken 3 of the back room team with him which I wasn't expecting..the only thing that has disgruntled me is the fact that two weeks ago he said no thanks and that he still had business at Swansea but then takes the job two weeks later..but deep down with everything that he has done for the club I wish him all the best (still think that it may be the wrong choice though, November in Merseyside with 40,000 scousers booing you is hard to take if things are not going well, nothing like 20,000 Elvis impersonators at the fortress liberty!!, he could miss Swansea more than we miss him).
My only concern is that he now persuades gyllfi to go with him and that will be a bit Naughty, if he does he will probably turn every jack against him instantly, leave him with us and come back for him in a couple of years when pool are back in the champions league for 2/3 times what we paid for him.
Next managers for Swansea:
Holloway: NO
Bruce, McCarthy, McLeish, : Please NO NO NO!!
Poyet: Maybe
Soskjaer: Yes
Grahame Jones: Yes
Martinez: Yes but probably not
Di Matteo: Yes but probably a long shot
31 May 2012 16:38:05
Robbie blake could be on his way back to his beloved bradford city,
His beloved team is Burnley.
31 May 2012 16:22:30
Norwich Legend Lee Clark will fill Paul Lamberts boots as manager
Norwich fans if this is true blockade the ground ! im a huddersfield fan and he is useless,needs a new player every week (our squad was enormous)and has the tactical ability of a goldfish.
A bit harsh, but he did lose the plot and his latter signings have not shown much promise.
31 May 2012 16:15:26
Does anybody know much about Dame N'Doye who has been linked with Stoke? I do not know much about him myself, but from what I've seen on Youtube he looks like he'd be a great signing
31 May 2012 16:08:19
POSH possible targets:
Connor Sammon-Wigan (Loan)
Danny Swanson-Dundee Utd (£900,000)
Micheal Bostwick-Stevenage (£600,000)
Paul Dixon-Dundee Utd (£500,000)
Habib Beye-Doncaster (£500,000)
Why you paying money,for ex Dundee United players that are out off contract,what a stupid post
31 May 2012 16:06:36
Dear deluded Norwich Fans, stop making lots of crap up about Adam Lallana going to Norwich
No ones going to Norwich not when everybody wants to leave the little club
Doubt it but more likely Surman jumping ship as well

31 May 2012 13:32:35
I said in January if Lambo does go, which, even as a 15 year old I know will happen soon, I want old Norwich player Malky Mackay or then Leeds manager Simon Grayson. What do you think odds on getting one of them?
And if Lambo does leave, he deserves a bigger club than Villa, but he will always be loved by Norwich. 3 years ago halfway during the League 1 season, at a reserves match @ Stevenage, him and the NCFC head coach and Ian Culverhouse said they'll never forget my real name, it's quite...weird. OTBC!
31 May 2012 12:01:12

Ian Holloway is the man for us!
Who are you??
holloway in talks with oyston..this week ..
oyston wants to keep him..with a pay rise..
holloway wants money to spend !..
think there will be a stand off..
3 years at blackpool ..two play-off finals and a year in the prem ..not bad manager.
i think he will move on..
maximus {Ed001's Note - I was wondering what you would think about it. I think he will too, Swansea will give him a bit of cash to spend and it's closer to his home, commuting distance even. It just seems ideal for Holloway.}
31 May 2012 11:16:46
Us norwich won't be signing anyone for a long while yet. Paul Lambert is leaving so we won't.sign anyone until a new manager comes in so can I just say I WANT HOLLOWAY
31 May 2012 11:26:39
Altinlop has gone to Galatasary so Liverpool have missed out.
31 May 2012 11:02:54
I know someone who works with the chief exec, tony scholes, @ stoke. He says the two strikers who pulis is interested in are defoe and owen. The defoe deal is at a hitch because spurs want huth but stoke want to keep him.
Pulis also wants matt jarvis, diame and two midfield playmakers from the spanish league. Pulis also wants to sign bruno from valencia.
Leaving will be fuller, woodgate, jones, whelen, diao
31 May 2012 11:01:10
Norwich City fan here:
I have been reading some of your fan related sites for the last couple of weeks, to gauge your fans response to the likely new manager.
It seems to me that some of your fans don't rate Paul Lambert.
Although i don't want to see PL leave Norwich i can honestly tell you that you will have the right man for your club if your lucky enough to get him.
When he took over our club we were in a worse state than you are currently in and he has transformed Norwich and has made the fans smile again.
He plays attractive attacking football, but is tactically aware enough to change during a match when things are not going well. Some people seem to think we play "Hoofball" well we played Arsenal and Spurs off the park this year, playing attacking football at thier own grounds, not something that the Current Villa squad could boast.
For me and i am biased he should have won the PFA manager of the Year.
I hope he stays at Norwich City but i am realistic enough to know that the pull of Villa may just be to much to turn down.
good luck Paul Lambert and to Villa.
Villa fan( nice one )
31 May 2012 09:36:31
Now that Wednesday has passed and there has been no notice that Mr Bassini has sold his in Watford FC can idiots stop posting riduculus threads that can only please L****. What was interesting was the news yesterday that Graham Taylor had stood down.

Mind the gap.
swfc championship
blunts league 1
31 May 2012 08:50:35
Even as a young Norwich fan, I admit, Lambert will be off soon. He's a incredible manager, but, why would he leave Norwich for Aston Villa, a club who are in massive debt and lost most of their best players, like Young, Barry and Heskey, and Petrov is out for a while due to his cancer.
Yes, Lambo will be off soon. But for Aston Villa? No, I don't think so.
I'm posting this as there and rumours that Paul Lambert has already resigned as Norwich boss to talk to Aston Villa.
31 May 2012 08:31:32
Lamberts going- really rate him. Think Norwich will struggle to replacing him. Reckon you may struggle next season- sorry
31 May 2012 08:22:25

30 May 2012 23:34:10
Huddersfield are trying to rob carlisle of former midfielder james berret. Berret is currently out of contract as of the end of june, and has yet to sign the new contract offered to him by carlise. As the player is under 24 town will have to pay a compensation fee, town hoping to get him for as little as 200k. Grayson see's him as the perfect ball playing midfielder town have missed this season, whilst also chipping in with assists due to his expertise in set piece situations.
Source - friend of the family, Halifax is a small place ;)
Hardly robbing Carlisle. Previous management stupid to let him go. It would just be coming back to where he learnt his trade.
30 May 2012 23:50:22

Ashley grimes and nicky Adams set to sign for 50 k each with Ryan Lowe maybe perminant. Also, proctor is main candidate too with the dismissal of striker Mike Grella today.
