Finally the newspaper headline we have all been gagging for:(what could go wrong?
Bad owners could be forced to sell clubs by new English football regulator
Can't argue they are bad owners - but they have put in circa £20m a season. On the face of it they are heavily subsidising the club (even converting debt to shares) so unless they are really going to do an indepth analysis of our situation, will anything really change?

Not sure what folk are expecting to happen.
Funding will be approved, and we'll limp on like this forever.
I am interested as to the level of funding - enough to cover losses including or excluding Wharton fee - i.e. will we have a transfer fund this summer or will it be swallowed up to pay ongoing losses.

We are in a very unique and frustrating position as a Club...the folk running us from Pune Towers dont know their Arse from their Elbow. I dont want a Manager waxing lyrical when all around is turning to shyte,I dont appreciate being told its White when its clearly Black.
"Its not a must win game"....same again for Boro?
Turning a blind Eye to all wrong for the sake of large remuneration? no doubt it happens a lot but its not right.
I stand to be corrected - but I don't recollect JDT calling the owners or CEO in his first few weeks. All I remember is him going on about "the project". Regarding calling out the players - confidence is absolutely key in our position, especially with so little room to maneuver in the squad.

Personally I am reserving judgement - I always thought JDT would be a tough act to follow. It took him over a year to drill into the players his method of playing - you can't change that quickly (especially when playing so many matches mid week).
Also - not only did we lose Wharton - but his replacement Fleck lasted just 15 minutes and we also lost Tronsdat to injury. Our big money buy (relative) from Crewe doesn't seem to be trusted to start a match.
If we get relegated, it won't be Eustace or JDT fault - the blame lies in India.

So it’s a positive we got a point against a team who only came for a point? How do you work that out?
I don't think they came for a point - and they nearly caught us with a sucker punch. Tactics we fall for time and time again

Whilst you make a very valid point, this game was a very viable 3 points. The majority of our remaining games not so much, that's were my major frustration comes from.
I agree we have, on paper, a frightening run in. However timing is everything in this league - with lots of matches divided by fine margins. Millwall is a good example - a few matches ago a very winnable fixture - last night was against a team who had just beaten Southampton and Watford.

I am probably the only one seeing any positives from last night. Millwall had come to put 11 players behind the ball - they rarely threatened apart from set pieces - a perfect match for Rovers to lose to a sucker punch. But we didn't, and despite injuries, numerous fixtures and extra time, illness in the camp we were able to come back for a well deserved draw. Perfect, obviously not, in trouble - definitely, the odd sign we may get out of this mess - I think so.

No plan B after conceding the first, 11 men behind the ball, no high press trying to get back into the game. Not that they're better than us just shit tactics, shit mentality, shit preparation and shit performance.
Disgrace the lot of them on and off the pitch.
Yeh, new manager is useless - he has had a full pre-season and not had his first choice midfield sold or injured.

Now Eustace has the hardest job of all to distill last night and go again at Swansea.
Superb job by Eustace last night - as you say - we will find out how good a manager he is now, picking players up to put in a performance after playing so many matches (+ overtime) in such a short space of time.
Annoyed me listening to commentators moaning about the number of matches Newcastle have had to play this season. They want to try the Championship, with a wafer thin squad.

Cutbacks here,cutbacks there,thanks to Venkys they're everywhere!!
We have been unlucky with injuries this season - but we desperately needed midfield cover before we lost Wharton. I just hope and pray that Tronstad isn't out for too long - or that could seal our fate.

as ever with venkys and the contemptible waggot,they`ve done exactly the opposite of what they should have done,keep the lad till the end of the season and get another 5/6 million for him in the summer,im`e certain crystal palace was`nt his choice of destination and eustace won`t see one penny of that money next season,you have to ask yourself,what happens when we run out of playing assets to sell,as it stands we are down to szmodics and carter as the only players who are worth any great value,once those two are gone then the cupboard is bare and we be royally f****d
venkys out
swag out
broughton out
Keep the lad - pulls up with ACL.....hmm. As we know with Dack, it's a balancing act.

Anyone think that Buckley could be our poor man's Wharton ? TBH he has had spells where he looks like he is progressing and could fullfill a similar role - but similarly has had periods where he is totally out of his depth.

I don't know what upsets me most - one of our own in another teams colours (though pleased for him he seems to be doing well) or the gaping hole in our midfield caused by the sale of Wharton and loan of Travis.
We are already in trouble (without wishing to tempt fate) an injury to Tronsdat would be almost impossible to recover from. I wonder what the lad from Crewe is like in midfield 🤔

Always though that Wharton lacked the engine and pace to be a top player- could be wrong. He has such a lazy demeanour though, there's absolutely no urgency in anything he does. Drives me mad. Whilst I enjoyed seeing him in a Rovers shirt if I was looking at centre mids he'd def not tick enough boxes to spend £22 million on.
Though I do agree his demeanor isn't always great - neither was Duff's - always looked knackered until it mattered. He does lack pace - but so did Tugay - and he wasn't too bad. I think he will do ok at Palace - he has enough players with pace to make up for his one big failing. Also - as he gets more experienced - so will his positioning - which will help.
I am excited to see what he can do - while also deeply disappointed for him not to be doing it for Rovers. Sky commentators seem to rate him - never heard Rovers mentioned as much since he Joined Palace.

I don't think a single player had a good.game. Mcfadzean and Tronstad were okay. Other than that, the rest were all shit.
Embarrassing.
To be honest - with our wafer thin squad - mid week matches will continue to be a struggle. Hope we are saving it for PNE at weekend. Also going to be an issue as we adapt playing styles.

Anyone believe the players really spend half time discussing the mood of the crowd?
If they do, it is a shocking reflection on JDT

There's a few variants of the name McGuire........McGwire, McGwyre, McQuire, for instance, and, most commonly, Maguire
It wouldn't be surprising if they misspelt it on the form but it would be typical of the low calibre people at Ewood
It is amazing - after last season you would have thought everything would have two sets of eyes on it. You have to think it has been deliberate - e.g. last minute owners say we can't pay a loan fee - what do we do, we have verbal agreements with player and his club - only option is to mess up paperwork again to prevent it going through. Maybe it comes under conspiracy - but given recent revelations could be plausible.

Surely Gregg has no choice but to resign if the Dunc deal does not go through. You cannot come out in the press a year ago and say you take full responsibility and new measures are in place to ensure that doesn't happen again...and then a year later the same thing happens again. This year is even worse as we actually announced the signing.
Talk of of a pre-contract being done if it doesn't get ratified now. That seems a long way off though with the very real prospect that we may be in league 1 next season.
All depends on whether the issue was under his control. The change from purchase to loan was very late - so difficult to say if the owners threw in a last minute curve ball.
I would say it might make his position untenable - but that would be his decision - and those with a mortgage etc will understand why he may decide to stay.

Just to add to that, QPR's second goal, their lad ran into acres of space. Moran, Tronstad and Sigurdsson were all just casually jogging back. None of them were busting a gut to get back.
JRC was worse for that all match

looks like the indians have done a "oyston" with the wharton money,there is no way the manager will see any of it next season
Oyston took money out of the club - our owners won't see any of the Wharton money, but it looks like it will be used to plug the clubs finances.

Interesting how JDT has changed his response to ask Steve and Suhail, it was ask Greg previously. Suggests it's a little different this time, fuck knows what though.
Rumour on transfer deadline day was that Suhail had pulled any spending of the Wharton money - this may tie in

I’m still not convinced like most that Tronstadt is better than Trav.
As basically a one man midfield - I thought he did OK today. What is without doubt - Adam Wharton playing for us today - we wouldn't have lost.
