Do you believe Cheston was forced to say those things? If you really believe that then that's up to you. Personally I believe he said them of his own volition really believing they were true. Meanwhile in the real world the majority knew we were only going in one direction.

Irrespective he owed it to the fans to justify the comments when we got relegated.

Well of course he was.  If I was him and had agreed a deal only to return and find out it had be over ruled I would be livid.

Judging from Sky's survey of Championship club's supporters about the season so far, only fans of Barnsley and Luton are less satisfied with their team's start and prospects for the remainder of the season. It looks like Rovers or Wigan for the third relegation spot - and I know who my money would be on with Mowbray still at the helm.

I try to imagine Mowbray's Rovers up against Cook's Wigan in a dogfight and know which one I'd back. I can't stand Cook who I think is a repulsive individual but he will battle and fight for everything and use all the dirty tricks going if needed. Meanwhile whilst weve got a stronger squad of players we have a 'nice guy' mentality and 'principles' to stick to.

A few interesting results tonight although mostly in Rovers favour. Worst result was Luton winning, which is not what we want to see. However Stoke losing along with Wigan only getting a draw are both positive results for Rovers leaving both in the mire for another week. A loss for Reading doesn't hurt us either.

Wonder how long Derby will give Cocu? They're only three points better off than us and got pasted 3-0  by Fulham tonight... 

Derby Owner Mel Morris said this season was a season of transition and Cocu has his backing for trying to entire club playing style from 1st team to academy level

London clubs will always attract potentially good buyers. Hard to see how we would be anyway attractive to an investor whilst in the Championship. Unless you want to lose money. 

Apart from Wigan, both Sheffield clubs, Forest, Wolves, Birmingham, Leicester, Southampton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth and Cardiff who all obtained foreign ownership despite being loss making 2nd or 3rd division clubs and not being London based.

We can do better than Venkys.

Look at the attendance figures for those clubs. Wigan's owners the jury very much out. 

I agree that we can do better

But our poor attendances are to some significant extent, a direct result of the current owners and their operation of the club. So it becomes self fulfilling.

Was this the group being advised by the none agent Paul Senior ?  

Yes it was. Asked elsewhere about Southall and the response was negative. Maybe he's just a front man they will dispose of soon kinda like Al Fahim 11 years ago.
