Hull City's players are back at Cottingham over the next couple of days as they gear up for their full return to pre-season training next week.
Preparations are continuing in earnest for the Tigers' return to the Premier League, but as is often the case with the East Yorkshire club, rarely is there a dull moment.
In the past few days, City's sporting director, Jared Dublin, has been sacked, and the club's owner, Acun Ilicali, has become embroiled in a social media spat with the owner of another football club surrounding the American's replacement.
As transfer chatter continues to grab some of the column inches, here's a look at the latest goings on in and around the MKM Stadium...
Destanoğlu's next destination?
Ersin Destanoğlu has left Besiktas, after both he and the club confirmed the goalkeeper would not sign a new contract.
Destanoğlu had been on City's radar, but it's thought the Tigers have moved on from the 25-year-old, with suggestions he's attracting interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia.
The Tigers remain in the market for another goalkeeper, with the club keen to provide competition for Jack Butland following his arrival from Rangers, but Hull Live understands the ex-Bestiktas man will not be one of them.

Tigers linked with Besiktas striker
Sticking with Besiktas, reports in Turkey have suggested striker Oh Hyeon-gyu is attracting interest from the Premier League Tigers.
The frontman, who can operate wide in a front three as well as through the middle, has been at the World Cup with South Korea, playing three times and scoring once. His display for his country came off the back of last season, where he bagged eight goals in 16 games.
Despite links in the Turkish media, Hull Live understands reports linking him with a move to the MKM Stadium are wide of the mark.
The hard work begins
City's players are due back at Cottingham on Thursday and Friday as they go through testing ahead of the full start of pre-season training on Monday.
For many of the Tigers' Wembley heroes, it'll be the first time they've been back at the training ground since their incredible Wembley triumph.
From Monday, it'll be full steam ahead for the players ahead of their flight out of England on Monday week to begin their training camp in Maribor and then Istanbul. City's players will be away for the best part of two weeks, with three games during their spell in Europe.
Louie's an Owl
Twelve months ago, Louie Barry was at the centre of Hull City's transfer chaos, but now he's sealed a move back to Sheffield.
After seeing his move to the MKM Stadium collapse, and then the Tigers hit with transfer restrictions relating to his loan spell from Aston Villa, he's now agreed a permanent move to League One side Wednesday, penning a four-year deal.
Barry spent the first half of last season on loan at the Owls' bitter Steel City rivals, Sheffield United, but that move failed, and he ended up back at Stockport County in the final weeks. Barry joins Barry Bannan at Hillsborough after his move back to the club from Millwall was confirmed on Thursday.
City's fresh loan agreement
Details have emerged from Companies House that indicate the club has taken out a loan, guaranteed against the club's training ground at Millhouse Woods Lane in Cottingham, and the existing lease on the MKM Stadium.
One would expect the loan to aid City in the immediate future in the transfer market, as they await the arrival of Premier League funds to start feeding through. City have taken the loan from Point 72, a global investment firm founded by Steven A. Cohen.
