Give it a couple of weeks, and I reckon the Bradley Dack thread will be the busiest on this board.

As of a day or two ago, Sunderland have a new owner, and as you must have missed in my post, I said if they are top of the league they will have massive crowds for league 1, I reckon well in excess of 30,000 probably even in the 40k's towards the end of the season. They'll all be back to watch a winning team, they've forgotten what it's like to do that up there and it's a football mad city.

St Mirren's chairman has said that there has been no contact with Sunderland. He said " Jack's on holiday, so unless there is some major skulduggery going on, it's all nonsense". Oh dear, is the new owner already up to no good ?

He'd be a lot closer to home and the crowds would be massive for League 1, if he had them at the top all season. I think if I was him, I'd definitely be interested. Anyway doesn't matter if they've already got Ross.

Well if it's true, at least we hang on to TM, who probably would have been a better option.

Rather strange we haven't heard from Tony Mowbray since he got back(unless I've missed something), I did wonder if he is about to be announced as the new manager at Sunderland. Their new owner was on Talksport at lunchtime, he has the new guy all signed up on a 2 year deal apparently, they were throwing all sorts of names at him but he kept saying ' no not him' , TM'S name was not mentioned for him to deny though. Probably not Mowbray but, they will be wanting to get out of League 1 at the first time of asking, so who knows ? We'll know pretty soon I guess.

Bradford did have a player sent off on 61 mins, I think that will be the toughest game when we play them at their place the following Saturday, in front of 20,000+ yorkies.

Att; 5372( 620 away) Not bad travelling support considering Saturday's shambles.

Tony Mowbray says he's never heard of em.

Sounds like he needs to have a word with Paul Lambert on that subject.

TM will know all about our illustrious history and he will not want to be the first manager to take us to the 4th division, that's why he'll resign if he doesn't get the backing he needs. Will he be given it ? Not a chance IMO.

Mowbray's record isn't bad : PL 15 W5 D7 L3 PTS 22 Taken over a season 67 points = top 10 Last 5 games W3 D2 And I must say I'd rather listen to his interviews than most of the other bullshiners we've had under this bunch of shysters, wouldn't be at all surprised though if he resigns as soon as they let him know what he'll have to work with next season.

And had Emnes playing very well too apparently, maybe he'll get to start regularly now.

I had the idea he went to work for the Brunei royal family for safety reasons (royal bodyguards and all that) because the GG's might not have been very happy with the way he walked out on the job.

Nigel Clough interested in talking to Forest, just announced on BBC, maybe Burton will be looking for a new manager soon. If I was him I'd stay at Burton, Forest owners are nut jobs.

They seem to be happy with ST sales, up 144 % on last year, new family stand, 255 sold as opposed to 5 last yr, according to Rovers website. Quite pleased with themselves.

Good result for the lads in FA Youth Cup tonight, beat Leicester 3-2 aet, who's the lad Costello ? Scored 2, sounds like the lad is not afraid to run at defenders. Villa away next.

Well, after those 3 shockers, we did go on a 12 match unbeaten run, but typical of Bowyer 6 of them were draws, so no play-offs.

Isn't he giving them a pep talk ?

My apologies to Bazza if that was the case.

Don't shoot the messenger, @#/? !

Saints U21's manager Martin Hunter said - " they(Blackburn) were direct to say the least and very aggressive." Att. 995. Saints have so far, sold over 2,000 tickets for the 2nd leg. Could Eric Kinder be the new Big Sam ? To be fair to the young lads, Saints team included a few with first team experience.

Bowyer might feel a bit of pressure if the U 21's win the cup. Has GB ever won anything ? " Eric Kinder's blue and white army "
