There were plenty of top performances last night but one man I’d like to draw your attention to is a man called….
PETER MURPHY
I’ve noticed recently he’s starting to have a big influence on the touchline. Some are even calling him the Jason Tindall of PNE.
Thank you Peter
To whomever this applies, please send your written apology to the following address:

How come the blame narrative has shifted towards the riddler/hemmings now Frankie’s in charge, but it was the manager when king Neil was here? 🧐
Don’t disagree but think we’ll come to realise how good Neil really was over the coming months.
@fromthefinney
What does he like to do in his spare time? We want to get to know the real Peter. Hobbies? Favourite programme? Favourite type of magnum ice cream?

offering me a hospitality ticket for tonight’s game as part of my redundancy package! May have shed a tear or two. Some club 🤍
3 points please Frank 📮

✔️ SEVEN clean sheets in a row 🤯
✔️ 3 points off top.
✔️ Undefeated.
One signing away from top 6 fodder, ideally a clone of ALVARO on the right.
#pnefc
✅ Liam Millar signs on loan from FC Basel and becomes PNE's eighth signing of the summer. Another international in the building as North End's attack gets the boost it needed. 🇨🇦

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. My favourite was from my good old pal

Can we stop these insincere “challenge accepted” games on Instagram - posting a selfie is no challenge.
I’ll tell you what is a challenge though, delivering 78 crates of fruit and veg to the elderly across east lancs, all in the space of 4 hours
#ChallengeAccepted
@PrestonSuppColl
Credit to you for pushing the idea but I think fans would warm to it better if a few different designs were put forward to a vote.
Personally I’d like to push this one for one of those giant flags to be pushed around the town end pre match!
@CasualsNorthern
You’re making it out as if they’ve gone to the pub for a game of darts.
Pretty sure many clubs integrate boxing as part of conditioning training for building strength and endurance.
📋 TEAM NEWS: Debuts for deadline day recruits Liam Millar and Milutin Osmajić. 👊
Ben Whiteman, Layton Stewart and Robbie Brady all feature on the bench.

Well done to Adam Salisbury who is our Player of the Week.
Adam bowled 23 overs at the weekend with combined figures of 8-79, also managing a half century on Saturday against Ingol with Freckleton 1st XI.
Superb work Adam 👏
MATTHEW OLOSUNDE

TOOK HIM FOR A DRINK ON WEDNESDAY

TRANSFER NEWS: Preston North End and Wigan are battling it out with Sheffield Wednesday for a loan deal for striker Jordan Rhodes, according to Sky sources. They want to offload the out-of-sorts striker from their wage bill in the hope he finds form or increases his value

@youngtommo1
Not necessarily a “Lowe lover” but how many of these teams currently above us should we be above?
And what manager that we could afford / attract take us any higher based on current budget?
We are still punching above our weight, no matter how much people hate to hear it

Don’t worry, I got 5 Es at A Level, and look at me now - I deliver fruit and veg to the elderly! Thriving as an entrepreneur. I also own the Preston Pub Cup. Academics results do not represent you as a person
#AlevelResults
Putting it out there but I think
@pnefc
should be forward thinking and hire Renate Blindheim. She’s been doing bits in the Norwegian league. Suits our style of player. Good ethos.
#pnefc
Derby County owner Mel Morris refused to talk to or take calls from Wayne Rooney, so Rooney had to borrow the club doctor’s phone and pretend to be someone else in order to get Morris to answer.
(The Athletic)
Absolute madness! 😳
Had 100s of messages from Liverpool fans about fruit and veg delivery in Merseyside.
I’ve now named our Ecuadorean bananas after Ben Davies - started out unripe and green, but now yellow and ripe but very underpriced.

🚨 Understand Liverpool academy player Layton Stewart has joined Preston North End on a three-year permanent deal.
Academy striker has always been highly thought of at
#LFC
and I’m told there is a buyback clause. Set to be announced later today.
Much prefer this approach than spunking money on players at last minute in a desperate attempt to please fans.
Things are much more complicated than they are on fifa - we can’t simply chuck money at a player, especially for a club with limited budget like us.
RL: “We would have been happy with a couple more players but it’s not to be, I have a say on players as well it’s not just on those at the top of the club, we have to be smart with how we spend money. We have a plan for going forward, we are going in the right direction.”

Overwhelmed about the responses to this letter, sorry if I don’t get to round to responding to all messages. I hope
@pnefc
realise how much the fans care about the clubs progression. Very keen to speak to Peter himself. Keep the faith, Big G

@pnefc
Signs on a 6 month deal - “shite cause he’ll be gone in the summer”
Sign him on a 2 year deal - “he’s hardly played football, why have we signed him for that long? What if he’s shit/injury prone?”
Club can’t win can they. Clearly the best deal to get him in the door
@andy_nichol
2 points off playoffs. Been stable in the championship for several years on a bottom half budget. I can understand people suggesting a lack of ambition/ risk taking, but “rotting” cannot be justified.
