He really, really wouldn’t be. Who’s sacking him? GB? Swag? Suhail will get his compo signed off, will he, when they wouldn’t even allow a free transfer centre half this summer due to cost? ‘He’s got a contract hasn’t he?’. 13 years and people still talk like this is a normal club with a normal board and owners.

Cooper?! What planet some of you on. Good god.

No chance. We had all this through TM’s death spirals. They won’t be sacking anyone under contract.

Hard to believe that a lad of 24 who still can’t get a game anywhere outside the academy is not significantly better?

When was the last time anybody was ‘shown the door’ at Blackburn Rovers?

No games at all are on the red button and some clubs still use iFollow, I can only presume it’s a Sky budget issue.

Need to remember that Venky’s = Suhail, as as you say they wouldn’t know a valuable footballer from one of their prized hens.

Which most clubs are doing on their in house TV tonight and they did on Boxing Day. So they should be on the RB then like last year? Like I said, strange. Ah well.

Usually if it’s on RoversTV (or any other club’s in house media) it will be on the RB too, just not this Christmas. Strange… and annoying shelling out an extra £20 for the two games when you have Sky already.

It definitely won’t be on. No games have all Christmas, no idea why as none have been a 3pm Saturday KO.

And Sammie at 27. These ‘models’ seem to change window by window.

No chance he gets potted. That doesn’t happen here, a contract is a contract they aren’t paying it up (unless you’re Coyle and it was still months too late).

He’s a gun for hire. If they want to pay him a good wage whilst learning the ropes of English football, then why not. He’ll find a job easy enough in Holland, Scandinavia etc after this, so no skin off his nose.

VenkyWorld logic all over. Would rather throw £20 million down the toilet every season treading water in the second division but making a mighty £1 million or so back in ‘player profits’ than actually even thinking about how to reach the PL and its untold riches.

It’s what ‘the club’ want. ‘Development’, ‘increasing player value’, ‘no pressure for results’. Replace GB by all means but the next fella will follow the exact same route. Apt that it’s Crewe that we are taking players from.

The away followings have been superb this season. For a midtable second division side too. But of course, we have ‘shit support’ according to many of our own fans.

No Christmas period games have been on the red button and tonight’s round don’t look like they are either - which is odd as they have been every other season and it’s the same TV deal.

To be fair it looked a decent signing at the time, he’d spent a few years as England’s number 1 and was only about 30. No Brad, but who was? It’s only since this shower arrived that we’ve seen standards go through the floor.

We don’t hear half of what goes on behind closed doors at football clubs. Managers, DoFs, CEOs are all spinning a narrative when speaking in public. So of course you don’t take it all at face value. The naivety of yon mon, it would be almost endearing if he wasn’t so patronising with it.

He runs like he’s towing a caravan so I can’t see him charging on to many balls in front of him…

‘Getting players x, y and z back from injury is like three new signings’. One of those standard cliches… but it’s the best this window will get for us so I’ll clutch that straw.

Bloody hell I wouldn’t want to see the second choice.

‘Super sharp in the box’, his lunchbox maybe.

Passing the ball around the back and then backwards and sideways five yards over and over again = good football. Moving it forward, getting it wide, wingers whipping in crosses, actual strikers attacking the ball = shit football.
