Mentioned it before but thought Scott Wharton had a superb game. His passing out from the back was exemplary. He's our best centre half by a country mile when he's on song imo. Hopefully JDT will start to notice what a good player he is instead of using him as first reserve.

Very good interview from JDT at the end, you wonder what he might be able to do if he'd received the same sort of backing Mowbray had. It would be nice to think he could survive until after the financial issues are resolved, Waggott is potted or retires and we get a decent DOF in. Sadly I doubt he will see any of the above.

Had a great game. Szmodics probably just edged it though.

Scott Wharton's having a great game tonight imo his passing out from the back has been first class.

Wife said "Yeah they're both ugly!"

Bollux. Should have shot but bottled out and passed back to Szmodics who was actually in a worse position. Did well for the second though helped by some suicidal goal keeping.

Sigurdsson really poor as well. Make that like playing with 9 him and Gallagher. We've completely wilted since going behind. Very disappointing.

You could see that coming a mile away. Completely dominated possession then caught by a sucker punch. Who's went to be playing LB? Gave Wharyon too much to do to try and get across. Playing with Gallagher is like playing with 10 but the Welsh commentators think he's looking 'sharp". I give up.

Good move not to accept the original derisory offer, in an ideal world we need to be looking at a deal that will eventually net us well north of £30m. However we all called it a week ago, we'll cave in at the last minute and then the excuse will be we didn't have time to get anyone else in or else we'll get someone pretty useless in on loan after which we'll be another body and our best player down in summer.

Thinking about it, as much as I don't want us to sell him, if he did make the decision to sign for someone else, I wouldn't want him playing for us personally.

75%.

He misjudged it badly with his "team coach" interview in the summer he's going to have be even more careful not to misjudge the mood on this one. Or is it just us on here getting into a lather about the fact the Club's future hangs in the balance? If you look at our local "newspaper" you wouldn't even think anything was happening. You couldn't make it up.

I wouldn't mind an unequivocal guarantee from them that their issues with the Indian Authorities have been resolved and there are no longer any restrictions on them transferring money to us tbf but a reaffirmation of their Commitment to the Club whilst the current status quo remains in place would sound even more hollow than normal unfortunately.

You missed the bit where we spend £2m on an unsuccessful appeal. Edit: Oops sorry no you didn't, my bad.

Because its better than the originally mooted £15m but still a shite offer.

Not what they said on the podcast but I agree with you. Even at 40% an alleged tax debt of £26m would equate to unpaid PAYE on wages of well over £60m

Amen to that den.

I don't know their laws either but chances of that are non existent I would have thought.

With all due respect to Adam can't see that working out too well, he wouldn't be our player and would probably be mentally wrapping himself in cotton wool.

It only "works" if any proceeds are invested wisely and it results in an improvement in League position. If it results in relegation I'd say that counts as a failure irrespective of a healthier bank balance.

As with the Markanday loan deal which miraculously went through on the same night two incoming deals failed, out going deals seem to sail through no problem!

Just says "allegations" of an unpaid £26m tax bill. Nothing to substantiate it. Interesting listen overall though.

It SOUNDS as though the Court themselves have adjourned it due to lack of Court time rather than at the request of either party although maybe it will become clearer over the coming days. I wouldn't say it's a lie to say funds need to be sent to "protect their investment" as presumably without it we're in danger of going tits up.

Can't be surely.

I like your style and that would be my stance on Wharton also in ideal circumstances. Let's hope you're right on both counts!
