No i don't think he is (AA) but Newcastle did register an interest in Jan that was rebuffed by the club, I do not think any our stars are PL quality Travis and Nyambe still have a lot to learn. I don't think Lenihan is good enough for the PL either the summer recruitment is going to be grim

Newcastle were sniffing round re signing Armstrong in January so it wouldn't be a surprise if he left and I suspect we'd get upwards of 8 million form him, Lenihan was interesting Sheff United. I don't think there will be much money sloshing round from the PL downwards can't see any championship clubs spending. It will be free transfers exchanges and loans across the board Mercers apocalyptic scenario could be applied to every EFL club most of which don't have billionaire owners ( albeit disinterested ones )

Trying to be to clever it never worked with Dack earlier on this season. Play Gallagher and Armstrong centrally if you need to play Bennett stick him wide right and go to a 442 maybe 442 diamond play downing left back l, Rothwell on the left. We get worse as games go on graham is finished Samuel adds nowt

I sit in the family stand Lowe's pre match warm ups are really poor when he conducts the shooting drills his setup play is all over the place. As Venus is really our DOF now it wouldn't be the worst idea to freshen his coaching staff up ( he won't )

yeah i don't disagree with that, he's over complicated what we need when he's tried to play with a false 9. It is my major criticism of him especially this season i don't really know what style we play with apart from a lose 4231 with 5 players out of position

i think in Gallaghers defence he's one of the players whose been Mowbrayed, played out of position to much so he doesn't score wrecks his confidence then when like today he gets a chance he's got zero conviction and confidence to take it on. As for Brereton i just don't think he's very good he seems to be unable to do even the simplest of things like head a ball he's another one whose confidence is shot to bits

He'd last 2/3 months with that approach i think if we were to make a change ( we aren't ) i'd want someone more progressive with a defined style of play and identity

to be fair to say i was underwhelmed was an understatement, i felt we could have and arguably should have done better with that recruitment job but credit to mowbray i think he has done s decent job since.

Apart from sunderland for a limited time what's he actually done. Yeah he gets angry and shouts that will wear off really quickly there is a reason he's been out of work for ages. I still think with our more workman squad someone like Rowett would do an excellent job

Strachan ?? Monk isn't he being sued by Birmingham and he left boro under a cloud due to agent issues, Keane when was the last decent job he did. McCarthy didn't pull up any trees at ipswich they stagnated and he left. Robins is an excellent manager would be a great choice out of the rest, Hughes would it work second time without Bowen? Hughton wouldn't come here and i'm not convinced on Karanka. It's immaterial at TM won't be losing his job anytime soon

no not really we have about a million quid head space before FFP and we don't really spend that much, we are a million miles of european football and the top flight

We won’t do a bristol city their owner has invested massively in sport in Bristol as a whole, he has a vision to make them PL and make the rugby team decent. The other thing is he’s a bristol city fan sort of the polar opposite of our owners

Why would he leave Rennes and European football? They have a state of the art academy and the owners are one of the richest in the world

we'll beat leeds optimism will return then an abject performance and baffling team selection against cardiff will finally put paid to the season
