I’m not fussed on his title but this does rather capture my thoughts.
After 4 years, taking the training, he’s done his badges and apprenticeship, everyone starts somewhere. He even has an edge that he’s worked with some of the players; best of all if the likes of CKR and specially Davies sign, they have his back as vocal presences in the dressing room.
It’s pretty much as good a hand, as many rookie managers get.

Rosenior has 4 years coaching experience behind him now, 1 at Brighton for the u23s and 3 with us under Cocu & Rooney. He wants to be a first team manager, I think now is as good a time as any for him to progress into that role

We have to remember not all signings will be for the first team straight away anyway. Some will be for the u23s who we will obviously hope can be ready to step up into the first team squad if/when needed. I think Glover & Sotana may fall into that remit.

We need 3 or 4 forwards, would be a good option

We’ve signed a 26, 28 and 30 year old. Hourihane is 31. Hardly knocking on retirements door ffs ?
The one person almost everyone wants to re-sign is 37 year old Curtis Davies who played every minute last season in the championship.

Just noticed Bird & Sibley run out 2024, only Knight is next summer, time to renew or be sold

Wouldnt be shocked if Davies is the last announcement tonight for players then Rosenior confirmed as manager

Great start to the rebuild last night. Twitter last night felt like Christmas morning!
Really pleased to see Cashin & Thompson staying. Both showed such maturity & talent when they got into the first team mid season & would have been gutted to see them go too. There will be spells of indifferent form but I think regular football at this level will see both develop into important first team players. Important also to keep the core of Academy graduates whilst we bring in a lot of new faces, need as much continuity as possible to avoid a disjointed team.
Three good signings too. Wildsmith looks a good shotstopper, am hoping he's also decent with the ball at his feet & like his ambition to finally break from his boyhood club. Barkhuizen & Mendez-Laing have always had quality about them...very different players but really strong options on the wing. 
Strong rumours that Curtis, Kazim & Stearman have already signed (brilliant news if true) & that we're in for another evening of announcements. Of the rumoured new players, Chester would be a really good signing & whilst far from Johnson's biggest fan, he would offer the physicality we will need at this level. Still would be astonished if Hourihane signed, am sure there are top half Championship clubs who would happily take him.
Either way, am loving the anticipation of further news!

On one of the interviews they said that they’d met with Liam first. Then had a call from Rooney. I’m assuming Liam has kept the dialogue up and has been sorting out the signings. 

I think this week is going to only get even better. 
 
I imagine 
 
- we will announce at least 8 more signings / resignings. 
 
- season tickets will go on sale. 
 
- hopefully rosenior will be given manager role perm. 
 
- new kit to come out. 

Ryan Glover- AFC Bournemouth-  W
Deji Sotana- Nice -W
kevin Macdonald- DM
david Mcgoldrick- CF
 
these are 4 out of I think 6 trialists im
aware of 
 

According to Nixon 
Mcgoldrick we  are ahead of boro he’s local to area and has been on trial 
hourihane and Chester close 
2-3 other trials including ex Bournemouth winger , ex nice winger , plus a young goalkeeper
 
buchannon can go for £400,000 compensation 

Yeah, seems a few of them have been in the building all week so to speak, guess the club chose to hold off releasing content until the takeover was sorted. I’m fully expecting some training pics/videos of the growing squad from Monday onwards to keep the positive momentum around the club. 

I think he was quite overrated from the get-go with fans willing him to be better than Max Lowe. 
I don’t want any player here that doesn’t want to be here so he can go for whatever for all I care. 

Nixon put in his story that Barkhuizen and Hourihane are expected to sign. Barkhuizen was announced between him writing the story and publishing the story. If he does have his leak within Derby, once again, then I would say there is a very good chance he is going to be a Derby player. 

He is a reverse Gary Teale for me.
He looked alright and then he was sh!te.
If he wants out the quicker he is gone the better, we don't want any turds in the punch bowl thanks.
 
 

Johnson was a victim of his own price tag which wasnt his fault. Always thought he was a decent player, would 100% have him back, offers something we dont currently have.
Best mates with CKR too, I remember them saying at the end of the season on Instagram about finally being able to play at the same club as each other, could well be us.
