  1. I wouldn't fight that comment, but my comment was the duration. Ince was gone within 4 months and wasn't visibly a disaster until probably 2 months in (bar the Keith Andrews signing), Coyle was a hated 7 months and Kean a despised 19. So 2.5 years. I've wanted Mowbray gone for over 2.5 years, was my point.
  2. Ince was out of his depth, and was sacked after less then half a season. Coyle likewise was booted after 7 months. I've pretty much wanted this moronic, pass the blame, boring, lying and pandering Dinosaur out of our club for longer than Kean, Coyle and Ince managed us - combined.
  3. Catching up on all them bullshit LT articles I have come to one conclusion. Tony, you are as delusional as they come, and will be in for quite a surprise from a large portion of your fan base in 26 hours time. I think he has now reached my all time #2 disliked manager status.
  4. Maybe Balaj can come over and negotiate our out of contract players? (Tongue firmly in cheek) Looking at the 24 names on the squad list, HALF are out of contract in 10 months. the only ones still under contract after this season are: Pears, Stergiakis, Ayala, Wharton, Pickering, Rankin-Costello, Travis, Buckley, Dack, Dolan and Gallagher. 5 of those will expire in 2023. Kaminski being one with an optional 1 year after 2022. Using the (imo pessimistic) values on transfermarkt: Nyambe, Lenihan, Johnson, Kaminski*, Rothwell, Brereton-Diaz, Armstrong, Chapman, Davenport and Eastham are all out in June and worth a current value of roughly £32.5m. £22.5m of that is AA and BBD, and therefore I would suggest we are easily looking at closer to £40m worth of assets as there is no way Kaminski, Nyambe, Lenihan and Rothwell are worth <£10m combined. Mowbray needs retired, those number and these contracts could ruin our club if we allow £20m to walk out the door for free (upon relegation).
  5. And is also now valued at 10-15x more than our ~illustrious~ manager deemed him to be 24 months ago. Sorry, irrelevant. But I've been Mowbray out since even before he often called Raya out and threw him under the bus, then froze him out for Leutwiler and welcomed through that pethetically low transfer to his Championship idols, Brentford. Could have kept Raya, saved all that wasted money (and points) on Walton the next season, and sold Raya this summer for £20m+ too. More Mowbray failings. Problem was we wouldn't have been able to afford the Gallagher £5m asking price that summer....... 🥴 So we think Armstrong gets sold tomorrow?
  6. Literally might be it. Last relegation we suffered with Wes Brown, Gordon Greer, Hope Akpan, Danny Guthrie, Jack Byrne, Elliott Ward, Jason Steele, Stephen Hendrie, Liam Feeney, Marten Samuelsen, Anthony Stokes and Emnes/Joao/Gallagher on loan. Plus the likes of Williams, Lowe, Evans and Bennett. Can also include Mulgrew and Graham for most of that season. At least we aren't drenched with that amount, or level of deadwood... besides Ayala and Johnson the entire squad is younger than 30. Problem: We know Mowbray will use his 5 loans. I mean, why play your own, when you can pay for, develop and play the "Big Six's" instead?.
  7. 3. Pickering: Never played at Championship level. 5. Ayala: Never plays. 6. Davenport: 25 appearances in 3 years and <5 starts. 10. Dolan: 1 year as a professional, 12 career starts. 11. Rankin-Costello: 25 championship appearances. You can argue that Dack, Travis, Brereton-Diaz and Lenihan (all in the 20's) are part of our "Best XI", but seeing the players listed above filling up the 1-11 squad numbers is certainly bleak.
  8. The journey... 20 outfield players 4 goalkeepers. 1 soon to leave, 2 long term injuries, 3 injury prone (and currently injured). Can't blame Venky's for that. All Mowbray.
  9. Yes (🤢) Yes (🤮) Nyambe 23rd (🤬) Fulham
  10. I feel desperately sad that I may be one of these... feel this is my last season if things don't change/we get relegated. I can't do L1 again.
  11. Bring on your most creative midfielder, cross it in to your only real #9 = goal. Wow, it's hard being a football manager.
  12. Could the travelling away fans PLEASE do the right thing and start booing Mowbray NOW.
  13. Season starts in 7 days... let that sink in. Shambles.
  14. Relegation fodder. Still 8/1 for relegation.
  15. Jeez it's hard work that RoversTV. Nothing is good/simple with this Club.
  16. I would imagine there would be interest form the likes of Brentford, Watford and Norwich, maybe even a Palace or Southampton. I think he goes out on loan, and if it is to the Championship I think we have a better than 50:50 chance unless a Fulham, WBA or Sheff Utd want him. I feel a "footballing" low end PL team will get him.
  17. Talking about loaning SIX players. So let's just say he is budgeting around £50kpw for that "journey". Here's an idea, why not loan in two more established players of real quality, at positions of need, for £20kpw each and then use this plethora of young talent at our own elite level academy as backups. We don't need 6 extra bodies if they're going to be Jarrod Braithwaite, Marten Samuelsen, Mo Barrow, Jack Byrne and Rakeem Harper. We need starting 11 quality additions. Elliott, Harwood-Bellis and Tosin have all just about checked that box. But don't forget the likes of Tyrone Mings, Mason Mount, Reece James, Harvey Barnes and Ben White were all on loan in this division 2 years ago. Set some type of fucking bar, Tony. Please.
  18. Anyone in attendance/watching want to best guess the number of home fans?
  19. Rothwell will be going straight into the Cairney/Raya bracket of players we sell/let go due to managers not being able to handle quality. Nyambe will join that list soon enough.
  20. Could see that being the best option for him. Most appealing. Calvert-Lewin as a target man to play off. Then players rotating around him with Demari Gray, James Rodriquez, Andros Townsend, Richarlison, Alex Iwobi, Moise Kean and Armstrong. 8 players for 4 positions mind you. But that's the Premiership. Be an exciting attack regardless. Sure they'll give us Braithwaite permanently as part of the deal too 👀🥴 Would rather him go to Everton over Watford/Southampton tbh.
  21. My bet. We will get 5%-10% of the Armstrong money to reinvest. Maximum £750,000. Problem is, other clubs will believe we have £15,000,000 to spend and will want 3x the value as we don't buy before we sell. Mowbray has his excuses ready made.
  22. I imagine the outgoing player has less than 24 months to run on their contract.... Oh.
  23. I have a bad feeling about both of these potential transfers.
