    The comments from JAQ arent helpful but we dont know what the club can say there may be some confidentiality clauses in play

    All we have a rumours off twitter

    They could say I suppose that Swansea have approached us and requested to talk to Duff - if that is indeed what has happened, but it doesnt really help us much.
    We could be trying to persuade Duff to stay, if there is a release clause there isn't really an exit terms negotiation unless its around the back room staff. But whatever the club say isnt going to be good enough for most of us . I can see why they will wait until what is happening is clear to all and at the moment I dont believe anything is clear. Its how we have operated for a while now when signing or selling players or managers. We have no real need to expect a detailed release on everything the club is doing

    I don’t wish him all the best remember what he said last pre season and I quote those that don’t want to be here.

    I must be missing something, but that tweet for me from JAQ gives no indication either way as to what's happening.

    We can't be told he's going because he hasn't gone yet.. he cannot go until Russell moves on. Until it's completely done it's not done. He may say no thanks and stay here or some other club may try to nip in and turn his head a different way like our friends from S6.
    But the South Wales media thinks it a done deal and only the Russell business is holding it up.

    £500k release clause for Duff supposedly. Southampton hoping to announce Martin as their manager by the end of the week. Be nice to think we have already got plans in place to announce am immediate replacement too.

    Really…what I got from it was Duff has gone and we’re getting Big Daz, we’ve also lost Anderson to Luton, Styles to Watford and Isted is no longer coming,

    If they can't say anything, they can't say anything, I'm fine with that.

    What I'm struggling with is that nothing was announced about Oulare. Absolutely nothing. I don't understand that.

    The we move on line... am sure a lot of the fan base is split. Some will definitely have that attitude 5'hit happens..we move on.
    But some won't. They'll also be the groundhog Day .. ar f'e'r'k it, what's the point, camp.
    Especially until, a replacement and who the replacement will be is announced

    Reports everywhere else suggest it’s only a matter of time though.

    But the only ones which are remotely reputable are saying they've not even formally spoken to him yet. I really don't think it's as much of a done deal as everyone is suggesting.

    If it is 500k clause, no wonder Khaled looked so resigned to losing him after the play off final.

    Bit strange maybe the club took the line if you cant say anything nice don't say anything at all. An announcement that we finally got rid of that waster Oulare might be deemed unprofessional

    'informal talks' is just another way of saying they've negotiated with him / his agent before reaching an agreement with the club.

    I thought informal talks was another way of saying tapping up
