Was the travel group meeting. BBM was there. I was hoping that some news might come out.Originally Posted by jon1959
Perhaps BT can say if anything was said about takeover.
It was the first Supporters Liaison Meeting of the season, to discuss up and coming away fixtures.
BBM asked if he could come along and meet the supporters.
He spoke and answered questions for about an hour
Very honest in his assessment of the club
Takeover wasn’t mentioned, it was all about playing styles and incoming players
I’m with Virgin, will I get any information?
so what was said about that?
He wants his players to play with aggression and at least 4 players to come in.
He said he can’t say too much, but 2 hopefully in before the start of the season (whilst winking)
He said it’s difficult to sort out earlier, as Premier teams are still sorting their squads out, which indicated, he is looking at players on loan from premier clubs
Christ this pre season is dull innit
and yet I'm looking forward to the new season far more than in the last few years
Yep.
He only frigging fancies you
If we're after premier league loans there's got to be a reasonable chance BBM will be trying to get some of his former Man City U21 players in.

They had a couple on loan at Peterborough last season.
As he spent most of his time working with Maresca, I’d have thought Chelsea would be an option as well
Both Manchester City & Chelsea got a rye thumbs up motion (with another wink)
nudge nudge wink wink
Me too, strange innit?
Newcastle, Sunderland and Brighton also supposedly keen on him. The club has said he's going nowhere though according to WOL.
Grant Hanley mentioned as a target for us on the Cardiff City World podcast last night. My first thiought on hearing that was oh no, but after thinking about it for a couple more minutes, I began to think it made some sense.
He's certainly the kind of leader we've been missing on the pitch; however, he's been plagued by injuries and has only played 26 league games in the last three seasons. 33 years old and not much pace. It's a "NO' from me.
Why would we sign an injury prone thirty-something, unless it's to keep the physios employed? It's a BIG NO from me.
To comply with league 1 rules the max number of senior players to register before the season starts is 22 . This is down from 25 players in the championship
Think we have 22 senior players on our books right now . under 21's are exempt
If my calculations are right we will need lose 2 players to get 2 in
think we have 22 senior players registered now ?
I think for some bizarre reason goalies are exempt too.
How this has got to 19 pages is impressive, we have done a great job to somehow keep this thread going.
Not long until we can forget about it, no longer seeing it update and believing something may be happening.
Looking at this

I make it twenty senior players with three keepers and Tsunoda and Willock rumoured to be leaving soon.
I suppose it depends on when a player qualifies as an under 21 - Joel Colwill turns 21 early in the new season, as does Cian Ashford.

Indeed!
Imagine if we'd actually signed someone!
I’m confident it’s in the pipeline
