  • Wonder if we will ever hear anything from Dobbo, surely someone like Rich Cawley will try to get an interview with him.

    I'd just about begun to get over losin' our ex cap'n Dobbo...
    This thread either needs closing or renaming, cos there is life after Dobson, and we need to move on somewhat...

  • Any news about him? Last I recall, Fehervar are back in training around now, but we had apparently refused to let hîm go until his contract expires on July 1. I can only see the point in such behaviour if we retain some scenario where we persuade him to stay.
  • He’s on holiday at the moment

    I mean it's petty but we're paying his wages for the next 12 days

     It would be a real shame if we’ve actually been that petty.

    Usually most of the clubs let the players start a pre season with player's next team. For example, we also signed a free agent, and he start the medical with us, he also have a valid contract to end of this month with his previous team.

    It only need a writen permisson to start pre season from his previos team.

    As I saw we also intrested on more player from UK:

    No idea but perhaps the insurance that Charlton have for Dobson doesn’t provide for us releasing him unless Fehervar cover it until he’s officially off our books on 1st July. In the unlikely event anything were to happen to George while he was still our player he  or his family could be up shit creek.

    He's Dobson's cousin.

    I wouldn't believe a word you read on sites like football league world mate, pretty much just content farms who will write about anything. They probably have created this link purely on the fact you signed Dobson and nothing else.

    Yes although it missed out one obvious target for furthe thought. Its all very well talking about the big crowds they have managed to attract for their internationals in the new stadium, but the average gate in the top league in season-end May 23 was 3,541, although I saw a tweet about this season just finished that it rose to 4,100. That laughable Puskas Academy team in Orban’s home village regularly plays in front of sub-1,000. Yet they will be in the Europa Conference next season. They managed at the last gasp to leap above Fehervar into 3rd place, having been behind them in 5th on most occasions I looked, after this Dobbo thing kicked off. The Czech league provides a good benchmark for that figure. Its a country with almost exactly the same population, same post Wall history and similar broader football history since WW2. Its first league attendance in 2023 was 5,528. No big deal in European terms but 57% higher than in Hungary. It too will have been much better this season just finished, and the UEFA coefficient is much better too. I would love to present football and facts -loving Viktor with those figures and see how he wriggles around them. 

    But I’d be interested in @Vjacheslav views on it. 
  • Just looked on the hungarian website: https://fehervarfc.hu/en.  No mention of Dobson (maybe too earlY).  But I noticed they start their pre-season on Saturday 29th.  Also they have a new manager (appointed on 15th)...might have some bearing on things...

    Because Charlton not let him go before 1st of July. We strated at 17th of June, today we played the first friendly with a hungarian lower league team. At the end of the next week we will go to training camp to slovenia.

    What is your take on Hungary in the Euros? I thought they were a much better team than they showed. England have been disapointing so far and it happens but it didn't look like they tried that hard to beat Scotland. Yes they did but you can't be happy with that.

    I reevaluated a bit after yesterday's game. There was a good match against the hosts, the Germans, but we couldn't win there, there were also a couple of interesting call by the referee, e.g. the push before the first german goal, but ok they were that much better, the result was realistic. We had no luck with the Swiss. In addition, we gave them a half-time advantage in the opening match, and although we improved in the end, that match unfortunately went away. We played what we had to against the Scots. We gave them the ball, because they couldn't do anything with it, and we countered them, kicked two posts, and in the end we deservedly won. I was also in Stuttgart for this match. It was a great atmosphere, we drank lots of beer together with the Scots. With this 3 points we also had a chance for the round of 16, but all of the big teams failed to help us, also england with the draw against slovenia, and the last chance was portugalia but they lose against georgia. Before the tournament I predicted my team to reach the round of 16, with some luck the round of 8.
  • Can someone share Dobbo's thank you to the fans, club etc please. I think i missed it first time round.

    We gave them the ball because they couldn’t do anything with it.  Post of the tournament and sums up our Scottish neighbours 
  • I think the Scots were rubbish but for me they should have had a penalty and Hungary scored when they were desperately looking for the win. The penalty was one of those that had the ref given it, it wouldn't have been overturned and visa versa but I think most refs would have given it. I thought they did ok against the Germans, but that they were very disapointing in that game.

    We also should have had a penalty when Gunn hit Varga's head, the two defender push him to the goalkeeper.

    TBF, I think they looked like they were often being caught out by the poor state of the pitches and were less able to recover from the lottery of where the ball went or didn’t go. 
  • So will be interesting today to see what comes out of Hungary, if Dobbo turns up for training etc.
