Wasn't Jones debut as he played against Forest in league cup earlier in the season

Afraid of FFP? I dont think so but EFL clubs wanted these rules in. I wanted them scrap. How is Lamouchi high profile? Had you even heard of him before this season? We aren't going to agree on next manager appointment when it happens. You want Pulis or McCarthy type and I don't.

?

Havent clubs been place transfer embargo like Charlton in January? McCarthy's Ireland team havent even qualified for the Euros yet. Have 4 playoffs games to play yet? And didnt Ireland FA binned McCarthy for Stephen Kenny to take over? I wouldnt McCarthy here. You would. We ain't going to agree to lets just agree to disagree No one has said we should become a glorified academy to sell players to balance the books. But to bring through into the 1st team like Derby or Forest are doing.

Yes.

But Man City situation and wealth of the club. Plus when City have 2 ex Barca board members has CEO and Director of Football they were always going to have Pep Guardiola as manager..

When did either got a side promote from this league? About 2008? Pulis couldn't get Boro up in 18 months and Ipswich didnt under McCarthy. Johnson is the 1st team coach of this team. He is my 1st choice. You disagree with me just like I do with McCarthy and Pulis suggestions. Yesterday men for me. Bringing through our academy players is important part of any manager remit at this club with the amount of investment we are making every season. FFP rules are there. If people are right and we are close to the line then even more important to focus on bringing the youth more. FFP is a myth?

Why does it matter? Would McCarthy or Pulis do any better with our squad? I would say no. We need a Manager/head coach who will bring through our academy players into the 1st team more and more with our situation with FFP.

He done an excellent job at Wycombe. Thought he would have good choice after Lambert left. Wouldn't be my 1st choice but should be on any shortlist

Werent good enough then and not good enough now Souness sold Taylor and Hughes sold Johansson

A very in depth article on Wigan situation https://theathletic.com/1907722/2020/07/04/wigan-athletic-royle-efl-paul-cook-hong-kong-yeung?source=user-shared-article

Never good enough.

Frank was Brentford 1st coach when Smith move on to Villa. Heckingbottom got them up at the end of the day not Johnson who walk away

Thomas Frank at Brentford. Also Paul Heckingbottom at Barnsley. Got them promoted then keep them up Also look at Brendan Rodgers who was a coach at Chelsea and he had a good career managing 6 different clubs including Liverpool and Celtic. So coaches who work they way up can be successful

Wycombe currently beating Fleetwood 4-1. Fleetwood had a player sent off and Wycombe missed a penalty aswell. One of the best games I've seen since the restart

Yes and I hope the person who posted on twitter hasn't done anything illegal and will get himself in bother firstly I watched that video yesterday and wasn't surprise. Need investigating but doubt they will get far with the people based in the Far East

his job is part time with Northern Ireland so not going to impact his role here. Also helps him develop even more if he take over which I hope he does

Aren't the administrators going to investigate why the club were put into admin so quickly after a change of ownership

that's my feeling on this. I agree that I honestly think Damien Johnson will take over from Mowbray when he goes.

missus cuts my hair monthly But we need to play Downing there as he hasnt enough impact in deep playmaker in the last 2 games and playing Bennett is costly us. Not his fault as he isn't left back. but needs must

I didn't mention Mowbray in this point but more to the long term future of the club whoever the manager or head coach over the coming years that bring through our academy players season on season is important to the future of the club. You didn't really answer the questions I pose. I would expect Rankin Costello and Buckley to become 1st team regulars over the next couple of seasons. Would you agree with that? and the money we are spending on the academy that we keep promote the youth that are good enough for the 1st team squad? Do you get to many under 18's and 23's games or just the 1st team games? Is he playing this 4-3-3 system cos Dack is injured and cos he doesn't think Downing can play in 2 man midfield cos of the way Derby manage to get through our midfielders so easy in that game. Did you not see my comments about having Armstrong as number 9 not as a false 9? You ask why I picked Graham in that role and Armstrong wide and I answered that cos of the way Leeds play and that we need a focus point to play off and hold the ball up. You said the same thing last summer and Wigan took Mulgrew eventually. Didn't someone on here said he had offers from MLS and Australia in January or February but refuse them. We aren't going to agree on Bennett but did you not see me agree with Blueblood point on the role that Bennett should be played on. We have no idea on what Johnson's wages are so it is speculation and pointless, That's why it is important that we have a proper scouting system and data analysis departments doing the work that gone into the recruitment of signings. Something that under these owners hasn't been in place and it cost us millions. They are gems of signings overseas has Brentford or Forest have shown but there is also gems in league 1 who are capable of playing championship football. I quite like 2 centre defenders in the 1st playoff game today but I dont know what they would cost in terms of fees or wages.

I do support the economy and my local Butchers, fruit and vegetable shop and British businesses. You already know my feelings on this from our discussions in non football related threads. Get the missus to do it. no not at all. Read the posts thats I have made on this. Not said Bennett could play Left back but he was playing there due to 3 injuries and not wanting to move Downing from that deep playmaker role

Thankyou for knowledge that he has made Nyambe, Travis and Lenihan key players for our club and that's why I am fan of promote even more young players when they are ready for the 1st team. I would expect Rankin Costello and Buckley to become 1st team regulars over the next couple of seasons. Would you agree with that? and the money we are spending on the academy that we keep promote the youth that are good enough for the 1st team squad? Do you get to many under 18's and 23's games or just the 1st team games? I don't anyone could defend that the signings of Brereton and Gallagher haven't work out for Mowbray and that's is disappointing. I don't think Brereton was even a target for us until the last 2 or 3 days of that window when Karanka and Forest made him available for sale. I would say that Preston have pick up some bargains over the years like Ben Pearson or Daniel Johnson or Sean Maguire. The scouts and recruitment department at Preston deserve credit for that but that's been one of my biggest problem of the Venkys reign is the lack of investment into the scouting and recruitment departments over the years and having a proper scout structure in place, This is the 1st time we have scouting system in place with scouts looking overseas and our data analysis department as well. Hopefully this season we will see the benefit of the investment this summer and the future. Bennett, Johnson and Mulgrew have 12 months left on their contract and hopefully Mulgrew moves on cos he shouldn't be part of the 1st team squad anyone. Bennett and Johnson are squad players and we should use their experience. I like Lambert and thought given time would have got us top 6 within his time at the club. I was told that Lambert never trusted Venkys from day 1 and that's why he had that walk away clause in his contract before he would joined the club. Also he walk away cos of the lack of communication between him and the owners. He did a detail plan for his vision for the club going forward and sent it to the owners and never had a response, Also IMO, that's the lack of CEO at the club was a massive issue for him as he face similar problems at Villa. He made some good signings and he was always going to sell Rhodes from when he joined the club as he isn't his type of striker, He mostly played with a Target man striker with skilful number 10 during his time as a manager until his Ipswich time.

I think he is annoyed by the last 2 performances by some players and us not taking as chances when we have had perfect opportunities to score. I am annoyed at Samuel for not taking his chances when he has had them. Well it would be be good if we knew what the targets was from the owners to Mowbray but we never hear from them and I expect we wont. Yes we can all suggest what the targets should be from us but what are the owners targets I think you make a good point on Bennett and Gallagher. I feel that is Bennett is moved around the team and played out of positions cos he gave his all for this club, wont complain like some players would and will play anywhere for our club as he has said he the past. I agree with your point on Bennett role within the club I would hope that Gallagher is working on his physical side of the game all season.

He is doing both roles.
