Rules us out then.

On this form - Bottom 6 by New Year

Brereton is looking like the Grabbi signing for £6m. Pretty much unheard of, did nothing and disappeared without trace. Very negligent top spend so much for so little.

Absolutely terrible, clueless and lifeless performance. A good job there's an 8 point gap to the bottom 3 because looking at the remaining fixtures this month I don't see where the next point is coming from based on this evening's total no-show. The fact is that Rovers have been outplayed in large parts of many games and when the promotion gloss wears off they could easily fall into big trouble. Brereton offers nothing and it's hard to see why he's been signed at all never mind for £7m.

Rovers budget puts them near the bottom of the transfer market food chain so need to wait for crumbs to fall from the Prem feasting table.

ACL in February so definitely a runner at present.

None of this season's promoted teams - Wolves, Cardiff, Fulham - have received parachute payments in their promotion season which blows a hole in Mowbray's theory. Even a team in its final (of 3 years) can't spend big because the following season their finances fall off a cliff.

With gate receipts/commercial income of only £7m and TV money of £5m that implies a trading loss of more than £10m. Venkys won't have that.

It comes to something when the debts at Sunderland (less than £100m) are considered to be large but still are much less than BRFC owes to Venkys. Even worse, Sunderland still have a Premier League potential that is a pipedream here. I don't see how the Venkys involvement is going to end in any way that is less than disastrous.

A share price going up only brings in funds if the shares are sold and Venkys aren't going to do that and lose control of their own company. More relevant is how they are going to recover the £150m they have loaned to the club........

He only looks effective when played centrally. A good finisher but lack of height means he certainly needs a partner. I suspect he can only be a sub in the Championship when chasing a game that's become stretched. Worth taking again on loan but not a purchase.

Alot of plonkers too in Blue and White. Mulvaney and Sharples would make Elliott Ward look like lightening whilst Else and Harrison were both well past their best. Jones was only a lower league player. That team was relegated by Easter with a record low number of points.

Continually bringing on an explosive player as a substitute after an hour sitting on a bench is asking for trouble.

2012 not 2010 but really the clock stopped when Venkys moved in.

What is the use of a player who cannot be used ?

Many thanks

Is there an audio commentary on iFollow and, if so, how is it accessed?

Obviously needed to get away early from Saturday's match. Something other than his hamstring was feeling tight.

TM was not sacked by WBA. Celtic had to pay £2m compensation to get him. Fact. Boro were 2nd and 3rd respectively on 1 January in TW's first two full seasons there. Fact

You did not include his excellent record at WBA so omitting facts is unfair.

Unfair summary. TM is a legend at WBA and was not sacked even though relegated from PL. Took Boro to top of table twice at Xmas with negligible funding. Saved Cov from relegation and again topped table following Xmas. Look at the all the facts not just the ones that suit your opinion. Then again we live in a post-fact era....

Just seen the latest offering from the teenage scribbler, Rich Sharp, describing Guthries performance against Derby as "tiresome" when he surely means "tireless".

Delusional. You've been listening too much to Chimphead. For a start the U21 is kids stuff compared to the physicality of L1. And any players who show they can cope at senior level will be sold - Barnsley are already monitoring Mahoney.

Kean has lied again by implying that the results at Liverpool and Man Utd prevented relegation - these flukes both occurred in the relegation season. There is nothing that pile of s**t won't invent to make himself look better (than a pile of s**t).

Will be playing against him next season.
