Think we're currently winning 3-2

That seems right. When Batty played against Division 2 Walsall he was badly exposed for one of Walsall's goals - so a loan out looks a good idea.

Home to Wrexham

Isn't there a rule you can only have 2 players on loan from 1 club ?

The problem is that the track record of the owners - starting with John Williams - is that anyone who tells them a truth they don't want to hear gets to receive a P45.

We're making fire loans ! Which free transfers have you identified ?

You mean clubs like us .

In January those on free transfers are the ones that their clubs are desperate to get rid of.

Those players were out of contract - which won't be the case in the January window - and no doubt other than Nyambe will have made sure that they received hefty signing on fees.

If they are so good why are they available on free transfers ?

I am afraid that just because he is called Chief Executive doesn't mean that in our case that he has the powers that would usually be associated with that title. Judging from the speed with which Venkys dispensed with the services of John Williams I don't believe anybody at Ewood Park is ever going to be in a position to stop Venkys making daft decisions.

You are assuming that the players who walked for nothing did so because of decisions taken by those at Ewood Park rather than back in India - I don't see justification for firing Waggott over decisions taken by Venkys.

Only by shareholders.

Little point in having a messageboard if people aren't allowed to give their opinion.

Judging from the Sunderland board's recent behaviour decking out part of their ground in Newcastle colours I am not sure that the individual who owns the club is necessarily the best judge of what is best for them.

I think the poster to whom I addressed the question was suggesting that there was a way that fans could get the owners to put the club up for sale. I can't see how myself so was asking him for his reasoning.

What is your suggestion to how the new owners are obtained ?

I think that was Len Shackleton's book.

How can he have looked ordinary for the past 6 months on December 15 ?

According to a report in the Daily Telegraph there was an argument between Mowbray and the Sunderland board after he told them that they would not be able to challenge for promotion to the Premier League unless they signed more experienced players rather than the younger players that the board favoured who could be part of a "development " programme to be sold on for profit. Given that that sounds very similar to the situation at Ewood Park which reputedly is disliked by JDT that would appear to rule him out.

Don't you need Cambridge's agreement to change in ticket prices ?

But before the game you kept saying how confident you were that our team would win ! Why do you wait until after the game to "wake up and smell the coffee " ?

Moran has got comfortably more assists for us this season than any other player.

I haven't come out of any woodwork - revealing that you have to resort to personal insults. What I did was quote the facts. I like JDT but the idea that he is way better than Mowbray at Championship level is still to be proven at this stage.

Mowbray finished above JDT last season by guiding Sunderland in to the playoffs and is currently above him again.
