I hope there's no truth to this. Besides, Mick McCarthy hasn't even been confirmed as our manager for next season.Quote:

It's just paper talk I think.
I'm not sure Rhodes' wages would amount to that much for the reason that I'd be dubious about this deal if it went through - he hasn't done anything for years to justify the sort of wages he may have been earning at one time. Rhodes' goalscoring figures were spectacular at Huddersfield and Blackburn, but since he left Ewood Park in 2016, he's found it hard to break into the starting eleven of any team he's played for.Quote:

Rhodes wouldnt be an expensive signing.
I posted it the other day in one of the McCarthy threads. I hope it doesn’t come off!Quote:

last night colwill was given the job, and I thought he had a few nice touches
There's an article on Walesonline today talking about how Vaulks (and Flint) look so much better under new system new manager so would be folly to say it can't happen with Rhodes, however TOBW highlighted he's done little for a number of years now and if he's asking for good wages it shouts that it's more likely to be a bad move than good one.
I can't wait for those who suggest we've gone back on transfer plan ignoring that we're still allowed to sign older players and stay within plan just as long as they're in the minority going forward.
We don't even know who will be our manager.
He's only managed 1 more goal than Mark Harris has this season and hasn't gotten into double figures for since 2015/16. No thanks.
Or which division we’ll be playing in 🤣Quote:
