But Boro vs Sheffield United game on in concourse BBE

Not every owner returns money from player sales straight back into player purchases. In our case, I think it's more down to who the head coaches have been and a bit of foresight as to whether they'll still be here in six or twelve months. The two common denominators are that Tomasson offered his resignation after one year, and if rumours are to be believed, Eustace wanted to leave in the summer shortly after he joined. Our ownership and upper management is chaotic to say the least, and while they should have let both head coaches go at both points when they didn't want to be here, it's probably the right decision to not let them spend what precious little money we have. To me, it more begs the question why the hell we wanted those two to stay when they wanted to get out. This worries me far more than any transfer window activity.

😂 I actually always turn into Herbert Street

JRC on the bench again for Charlton. Was right to move him on. Not good enough for them, not good enough for us.

Been given some funds from sales I suppose compared to previous managers

10/10

Has Ismael been backed? This is all funded by sales.

They’ll never have a better chance. I’d even fancy us getting something there today so is the shambles at Old Trafford.

Hedges starts, 19 to go

Below is my post with my thoughts.

It had been prior. Although usually its one to credit other sources.

What are your concerns about Andri Gudjohnsen? So why hasn't he been back up keeper so far?

Yes they did say on radio that it should have been red for Peck. Having to listen to Dingle donkey Iwelumo on co-comms 😄

Its shocking that. Will result in less fans in blues bar and less revenue. What the food options in the Blues Bar?

I'd take a good pay cut to go from Preston to Sunderland to be fair.

Whilst Boro have been wasteful Sheffield United had the best chance but they do appear to be in a bit of disarray. Hamer, who I think is one of the best Championship midfielders has been anonymous and looks like he doesn't want to be there. Louie Barry is a talent but his defensive work is shocking. And Peck should have been sent off.

Been told from a Preston fan who would know that Browne is on less money at Sunderland than he was at Preston. Surprisingly.

Gudjohnsen looks interesting, scored goals at international level for Iceland, could be a good signing.

This didn’t age well…👀🤣

I presume that the Chelsea / Fulham game is therefore not being shown on that pixelated big screen at the BBE fanzone? Can anyone confirm?

Been listening to Boro Sheff Utd on radio, Brittain sounds like he has hit the ground running, sounding very involved and influential in a team that have already won 3 matches. With Sheff Utd I think everyone did a double take when they appointed this Selles, he must just interview unbelievably well. I thought they would go and get Sean Dyche, or maybe someone like Steven Gerrard. He might be the first for the sack.

This money? We’ve brought in more money than we have spent (again!)

I make it 18.

All that narrative changes if you are backed and then promoted.

Well we've had to sell the core of our team to do it. The turnover has been insane - 9th signing coming in, how many have left? It's a massive, massive gamble. Gestede and Ismael seem comfortable doing it. Perhaps JDT and Broughton weren't? It's different, if nothing else.
