I thought Robbo was doing well at Chelsea. Wonder what went down for him to leave.

Robbo is a good lad and a good man to have around the club. Just not as your main man...

Robbo was good at developing youth players - probably should have stayed there.

Also a promotion winning clearance in the semi finals vs Notts

Robbo in an advisory role.

Well Robbo coming back wasn't on my Bingo card for January 2026: [Link]

Disappointed to see Harbotttle go, rated him and he was able to do a bit of the physical stuff too.

I thought Harbottle was decent

Fuck me. Harbottle was a country mile better than Ogs

So far, very boring January, with two so-so/ poor (respectively) players out and nobody in. Obviously there is a long way to go in the window, but it's clear that we don't have funds for any paid-for signings, so we will be relying on either lucky free transfers (AAH-style) or good loans in. Let's hope that CC still has his midas touch.

I’d forgotten that clearance at Wembley. Promotion-winning clearance.

Director of Football Craig Cope, said: “This has been an extremely difficult decision to make, however as previously communicated we need look at ways which will free up budget to bring players in this window. “That said, we would all personally like to thank Riley for his impact at Wimbledon. The significant contribution to last season’s promotion will not be forgotten, especially in the play-offs with his goal away at Notts and that match saving clearance at Wembley. “Riley has been a key part of a successful changing room with him really embracing the Club's values and it's community. We all wish Riley all the best for the future and again, thank him for his contribution.”

That’s encouraging then Silk 👍

In that Cope has confirmed they are clearing wage room to sign new players. Maybe due to our move to a back four.

Free transfer?! I can assume he was on a decent wage.

Letting Riley go is perplexing. He rarely let us down. A much better player than Bauer IMHO.

Ah ok. Had forgotten Orsi already.

Harbottle now confirmed.

Be surprised if jackson is in charge next season. 4 years of poor budgets.. must be ambitious. And the rumour i heard earlier in the week about wages ? if true thanks to whoever loaned 👍

Orsi and Harbottle have gone.

Either of them? Who else? What have I missed?

My thoughts are we are clearing out squad players to bring in new players. It would not surprise me if we had initiated these transfers out. Not really going to miss either of them. It just depends who we will get as a replacement.

Managers are very pragmatic. Do you seriously think if Harbottle was our best defender he would keep him on the bench and the last time he started he was responsible for the Exeter goal. Think you will find Harbottle was at fault in some way

Wimbledon v Stockport moved to Tue April 14th but may have to be the Weds instead

How the manager carries himself on the touchline is no indicator of his quality. For example, Ancelotti is very quiet and reserved on the touchline but is deemed to be a good man manager and had been very successful without having histronics.
