Six weeks till start of the season. Two of the management team suspended. Players back tomorrow with some key players missing and we can't be sure who will turn up. Last time they were together they were crap - and someone crapped in the opposition dressing room. Some players have been in a sex trial.

Who will meet them - Bloom, Barber or Taricco? Who will say what? Who will be fit? Who will even want to train?

This has all the makings of a great fly on the wall documentary, comedy or soap opera! Suggestion for the imaginery script or character casting....

It is an interesting question, who will take training?

I assume we have a fitness coach who plans out our fitness regime. So maybe whoever that is will.

My thoughts too - what on earth will happen after they have parked the Range Rovers. Probably all asked to line up behind Liam Bridcutt and take turns to answer the phone to clubs wanting to buy them. Then perhaps go through a 500 page document to figure out what constitutes behaviour bad enough to be a suspended employee at this club. Finally compare notes with the club administration about how much fun the last 5 weeks have been. 5 incredible wasted weeks, anyone fancy playing against Whitehawk in 12 days time ??

Maybe the club will make an announcement today that it's all been sorted and we have a manager in place for tomorrow, Now if you'll excuse me I'm just off to catch the pig that's just flown past my window.

Imagine going back to school and there's no teachers! Could be 1st preseason where training takes place on the Xbox?!

Pre season at this stage will all be about fitness so that team will be taking those sessions this week and my guess is a new man will be in place for when the tactical work begins

My guess (for what it's worth) is everything is sorted, the new man (if there is one) is already decided, but a decision was taken to inform all the players first tomorrow morning, before any media announcements.

Sadly, I think it would be one of those comedies where the first series is really good but they should have stopped there and not bothered with a second series (which is what is currently going on). Lets hope it's the last episode tomorrow and we're not left on a cliffhanger for series 3!

I really hope that is true. Maybe they have already secretly bought a load of new players who will be unveiled with the new manager!

Will be interesting to see if there are any triallists tomorrow as we do normally have some but debatable who would decide to offer them a trial.

I expect the players already know as it's not like Charlie, Tanno Gus and the players aren't going to speak with one another despite what the club says about the management team not contacting the players

I sincerely hope your guess is right.

The first two weeks of pre-season is just fitness work and Poyet et al had nothing to do with that anyway, the people who would work with the players on that are still at the club.
