Surely Holtby has been told he's not going to get a new contract. He'll be on a fair whack and he's absolutely not deserved it. Clear some of this deadwood off the books now to give the new manager a chance.

They were loaded - albeit not as loaded as they are now. Funnily enough I was lamenting that today with a friend. We get lumbered with awful Indian owners who won't bugger off despite a decade of incompetence. Citeh get back-to-back rich owners when the first one was arrested for money laundering. Doesn't seem fair, really.

I would honestly sack whoever said that on the spot. I don't care if it was Tony Parkes. Unbelievable. Brentford.

Well it begs the question, who's making the decision on these transfers?

Neil is a significantly better manager than Mowbray, but you do wonder whether he'd want to come here. He won't get the same financial backing Mowbray got - in actuality he'd probably find himself in a similar situation to PNE, having to get buy on freebies and loans as his more desirable players are sold off. Obviously here it would be due to FFP rather than the owners trying to claw their money back. That's the problem any new manager is going to face after Mowbray's 4 years on Easy Street.

Unbelievably unambitious move by Wilder - I thought he was better than that.

He's like a sulky teenager - it's all someone else's fault.

No disrespect, but the PNE job is an awful one. Neil has had his team sold from under him and the fans are delusional with their expectations.

Not a surprise - it's not part of the narrative. When we were on SKY a few weeks ago - besides it being the Brentford show [despite us being at home] - there wasn't a sniff of talk about perhaps Mowbray's job was in jeopardy. This was deep into another death spiral. He's got it stitched up somehow.

Don't watch he highlights to the end - they we're literally queuing up to score in the dying minutes. Mowbray can't set a team up to defend at all. It's embarrassing at this point.

Earns them a boatload of money.

That's a red card for their #23. Two footed lunge. Also Harwood-Bellis is bloody brilliant.

I've stopped bothering looking at our xG.

He hasn't been with it since his wife gave birth.

And a LB.

Douglas just jogging after his man there. Worst loan signing in a while.

It's criminal. You can tell they don't practice set pieces in training by the number of players putting their hand up for a go when it's a direct set piece. We had 4 queuing up against Bristol City.

Breaking news! Brereton is playing centrally!

The price tag clearly has no bearing as Mowbray wouldn't play him for a year. He's one of the first names on the teamsheet for mine. I absolutely am watching this and he's doing ok - he's just one of the whipping boys so anything short of looking like Ronaldo and he's 'shit'.

That makes no sense - put us away early so you can coast the rest of the game if you're that good. The OP is correct, it's a shit league. Norwich just have a bit more class than the rest so they take their chances.

He's a CF asked to play as an IF on the right (he's usually asked to do that job on the left). He gets through SO much work in defence and attack - it's obvious when he's not on the field. It's not like his teammates are putting him in for gilt-edged chances and he's fluffing them.

Why are we focusing on Brereton? He's been fine. I think you're all expecting miracles from the lad. He didn't buy himself. Like many of our players it'd also help if he was played in his actual position.

He really is playing Buckley as a False 9. Bloody hell. You literally have a £7m striker on the pitch who you've NEVER given a shot playing through the middle. How is this man still managing this football club?!

Nvm.

Bet it was a dive too.
