This could be a welcome addition and, as someone else said in a different post, may help Byrne and Gould to grow in stature also.

Welcome Ethan and very best wishes for your time with us!

Also, great respect to Parky for doing this. I didn't think it possible but he's gone up even more in my eyes.
Come on you Supers 👍 🇦🇹 🏆


PS. This could well be the defining signing of this close season.

Something needed to change; glad the management have got it done.

Hopefully Ollie can rebuild his confidence on loan somewhere.

Obviously a necessary signing and really pleased about it. However, a note of caution. He is a loan and Stockport have form in this area. I still believe we need a long term option in goals.

Good news for the Team, and also given time, Ollie Byrne will come to appreciate this signing insomuch as it will take the pressure of him a bit whilst he works hard on getting his game back to where he wants it to be.

Well done to PP for reading the keeper situation prior to the season starting.

I think you're right.
Hopefully we've not seen the back of Ollie. This, as you say, could be a blessing in disguise for him and take him out of the firing line.
I'm sure he can both regain his confidence and learn a lot. I'm not sure whether this would involve a loan out in the first instance. He might learn more staying and learning. Perhaps a loan later in the season?
It was mentioned above that we need a permanent solution but if he can learn and develop I'm sure we'd all like it to be Ollie.
Good luck to him.

A season long loan shows the long term belief I think we all have in Ollie.

Ethan gets a chance to put himself in the shop window more here than as third choice at Stockport.

I think this is a great signing all around, and indeed as said above, the defining one of the preseason.

Good signing.

Hard but important decision made by Phil.

This should hopefully allow Ollie to go out on loan to build his confidence, with less pressure.

Without trying to fan flames, this could be our best signing of the summer.
Hopefully creates competition for the jersey and improves the overall goalkeeping situation at the club.

Not so sure O.B. will go out on loan, but maybe makes sense to do so and keep Gould as coach and back-up ?

Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

If there is no recall option for Ethan (at least for a certain minimum period), it's pretty much certain that Ollie will go out on loan. I can't see us going with 3 keepers!

We've really only got two and a coach though haven't we?
Plus, for now, I think OB would learn more by being here and possibly going out on loan after Christmas perhaps.
PS. As usual, I could be wrong 🙄
