When was the last time under Venky's we approached a club and paid compensation for their manager?

Correct me if i'm wrong but it seems like the standard for a manager is set too low and they only target ones that are out of work. 

I like how nobody has chosen Bennett for right back. I hope i am wrong but If he's not injured Mowbray will start him.

Mowbray has had 3+ years to sort out the defence and he has failed miserably.

He should of been shown the door for the shambles of a defence and the money wasted on Brereton and Gallagher.

WBA wanted Kipre a month ago ....

They couldn’t have wanted him that bad if it took them 4 weeks and spent most the time chasing Duffy

We are going to start the season with the same back four.

"Defenders are coming"

For less than a million if WBA really wanted him they could have signed him weeks ago. 

He scored a volley down the other end against Fulham but not sure what the year was

Thought it might have been the volley against Spurs in 2006. Just checked YouTube but it didn't have Andy Gray commentary ?

Mowbray and Venus should be nowhere near any transfer negotiations. They should just be showing a list of players they like and let the people higher up the chain to get the deals done. We have wasted the whole month and ended up failing to complete a loan signing on the last day of the window.  Score 0/10 

I would like to see Mowbray and Venus gone by the summer. 

Id like to see Chapman and JRC given a chance on the wings but we all know Bennett will take one of those spots

Didn’t the Brockhall lad get grounded after it was mentioned in an interview about the teams leaking?

Remember when someone said they were flying out to Qatar to try and convince a prospective buyer to move forward and posted pics of an airport lounge straight from google to prove it

I think it was someone in Thailand

I think the name was BKKrover or something similar but got found out then disappeared from the site

The recruitment of a European scout is an appointment which will hopefully pay dividends for years to come, not one transfer window. 

This should have been done as soon as Mowbray arrived not 2 years later

But we can find £10 million to waste on crap strikers. 

Bit harsh on Holtby. He has scored 3 goals and got a couple of assists while Tony keeps playing him in different positions 

Based on the amount of goals Dack has scored for us i would have thought he would have been near the top of the list.

No way are we signing this Polish lad. 

A - He's European

B - We don't have 3 million quid

C - TM has  never really bothered with wingers that play in their natural position.

D - There's no way this lad tracks  back.

E - He's European

F - He has not played for Boro

0 - 5 (FIVE)

What the hell is going on 4 nil

WTF!  3 nil up away from home 

Can't they just get an Indian company to sponsor us for something ridiculous like £10 million and Venky's supply the money for the sponsorship?

6ft 3 strong. Good on the ground and in the air. Would be ideal to play up top with Arma. Jones and Chapman supplying the crosses.

This bloke is available on a free. Just the type of experienced, no nonesense defender we need.

But has he played for Boro or Coventry?

Holtby is being wasted on the right wing

I'm sure we could of found better players across Europe with the money we wasted on Gallagher and Brereton.

Mowbray needs to be held accountable for this.
