Disappointed nothing more has been heard about Dylan Williams as yet, I think heβd have been an excellent signing.

How long did it take for the Alex Bannon βrumourβ from a reputable Scottish newspaper take to come to a formal announcement? If the Williams rumour is true the club will announce, in conjunction with Chelsea, at a time suitable to them, not the rumourmongers. Perhaps they are waiting to unveil him officially at the welcome event.

The latter are all Northern Germanic languages, Finnish is classed as Finno-Ugric. According to Google Translate, we'd be looking at something like:- "Tulkaa te Panimot!!!!!"

I was anticipating having time to practice before the first home pre-season friendly, whenever that may be. as well as learning the different variations of 'welcome' for our new directors. Although I do recall the story of an announcer of a rather large club, recently relegated into our league, who at a pre-season friendly allegedly went on the mic and said ' Hola, bienvenue, Wilkommen.....and for the solitary Englishman in today's visiting Chelsea side........'Welcome' I am attending on Tuesday evening but purely as a guest. I assume that John Widdowson, as Head of Community, will be on hosting duties and can have the pleasure and honour of welcoming our new owners.

As it's an event welcoming the new owners to Burton, as much as owt else.... maybe, as John runs through the names of the suits on the platform he could in turn follow on with the bog-standard Burtonian greeting "U'reet Duck!!

Sam Hughes has joined Stockport County on a three-year deal I feel completely indifferent to this. Would have been nice to keep him, but with the slew of signings NFG are making, there is no point in bending over backwards for a League 1 player.

If we hadn't made so many defensive signings it would be a loss. He's a steady L1 player but no more than that. Good on his day, some injuries may have taken a toll.
He's been a brighter spark in a very dodgy side over the last few years, and will be fondly remembered.
I suspect he will be on a very good financial package at Stockport and at this point of his career, at this level, it was likely a move he couldn't turn down.

I am sad to see Sam go. He was more the finished product than what we have brought in so far.

I am sad to see Sam go. He was more the finished product than what we have brought in so far. Can't disagree there. Certainly in comparison to some of them, such as Bajrami, who in my opinion out of all the signings is the most unusual, although likely not a big financial outlay or risk. I've no idea who the manager will see as the main pairing given we've got eight who can play in the middle at this moment in time, and nine if Brayford stays, which is looking doubtful. Could we see Moon/Sweeney moved on? I certainly can't rule it out given we are sweeping the ranks clean. You just never know. Out of the two I think I'd prefer Sweeney to stay IMO. One thing is for sure after the last few seasons of horror a new approach was required, it may or may not work but they are certainly going about things differently. If that means the vast majority of last seasons squad moved on, so be it.

Thanks Sam and good luck Been a good servant to our club, hope he stays injury free, that seemed to be his main concern?

Sam would be one I would have looked to re sign. I do think he maybe didnβt show the composure in possession as he did when he first arrived but still a very good defender in L1.
Be good to keep Sweeney especially now, and he really came on last season both defensively and in possession. π€π»
All the best Sam, ππ»

I think under the previous regime of managers the departure of Hughes and Powell would have been a massive blow. They have both been key players in what have been 4 years of struggle at this level and there is no doubt they have given 100% and been the best of a fairly average bunch. I think that if the new owners are using a stats based approach to identify players then nobody, including Sam and Joe, would probably look particularly good on paper but that is more a reflection of the previous coaching(or lack of) and the way the team played. Hughes of course has also struggled with injury and spent a large part of last season unavailable and when he did play he wasn't quite as good as he was in previous seasons. The recruitment to date has seen us well stocked in the centre back area so perhaps no surprise that we haven't really pushed the boat out to keep him(or so it appears) as i'm sure that our new owners could compete financially with the likes of Stockport. I'm surprised Hughes has ended up there and whilst they are on the up I wouldn't expect them to be mounting a promotion push next season so for Sam it could well be more of the same.
Anyway, we move on to hopefully bigger and better things and both Sam and Joe go with our best wishes.

Agree with most of that annable...except I wasn't surprised by Sam moving to Stockport - he's from that way isn't he? Started out at Chester as a lad anyway... and I wouldn't be surprised if they finished in the top 6...
