Picked him up from Aston Villa last year: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nathan-dlamini/profil/spieler/1112481

Yep, incredibly lucky. You make your own luck with the way they play - just relentlessly positive and attacking - but just look at our game at Ewood. Two 'offside' goals and a GK throwing a weak shot into his own net.

Under this regime? Absolutely. I don't have the stomach to watch my team slowly sink down the leagues with absentee owners.

Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?

Wasn't that house seized as part of the court case? -

Nixon's response on Twitter as to why they won't sell is "they want the Premier League" (i.e they want to leave us in the state they found us in). Absolutely nothing they do remotely backs this statement up. -
I wouldn't buy a L1 season ticket.

He'll be playing in the First XI shortly - we're awful this year.

They're the cheapest way, yes, but they still cost money. For the premium loans - like Diallo, who carried Sunderland last year - you have to pay a loan fee and contribute to their wages (if not entirely cover them). PNE were quoted £1m to loan Tom Cannon back this season (before he was sold to Leicester). We've had our transfer and wage budgets slashed for years - we had to loan out Buckley to afford Moran's wages. I guarantee Chrisene, Ayari and the French CB whose name I'm not bothering to Google were free loans with minimal wage contributions 'cos their parent clubs were desperate to get them game time.

Our losses are a flat £20m every year without fail. We've pared down the playing squad tremendously in the last couple of seasons and have brought in £22m+ (not including Raya or add ons for Wharton) in transfer fees, yet it's still £20m. It's no coincidence that the owners are being investigated for tax fraud.

John Eustace - our head coach

Pretty much. As Jimmy Johnson once said (a College Football Hall of Fame and NFL Hall of Fame Head Coach - won the Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys and the National Championship with the Miami Hurricanes): "it's about the Jimmy's and Joe's, not the X's and O's". We're running a L1 budget right now and it shows on the pitch. -

I'd be happy starting Brittain, Hyam, Carter, JRC, Tronstad and Szmodics each week in a good Championship team. So realistically you're looking for 5 new starters. 6, really, because you know Szmodics is being sold this summer. I think S. Wharton, Leonard, Buckley / Travis / Garrett (don't think you'd keep all 3), Hedges, Dolan and Pickering have value as squad players. That's why JDT struggled at the end and why Eustace hasn't been able to do more than stem the bleeding.
