I'm curious to know why he thinks a Club owned by an Indian family is "racist". Because he didn't get the manager's job here maybe?. By definition therefore, every other Club in the League must be racist as he hasn't been given a job there either. We're also so racist we appointed Paul Ince as manager as well. Didn't work out but that's life.

Yes. I thought the use of the word "fat" was slightly un necessary as well.

It was quite noticeable in the Broughton podcast that he said the "main thing" about the Morton transfer was that Liverpool were up for it, very much creating the impression that all he was concerned about was keeping them happy rather than what might be best for BRFC.

Yep, new manager and coaching staff just announced there, you can see it coming.

It's odd because he was our best last season by some distance.

Against who? (Allegedly)

Bradford in the Cup allegedly so maybe second. Should try it in the League sometime!

That was where he started wasn't it - at least as a wide right attacking player until the tactical genius that was Mowbray decided he'd be better off at full back.

Dack's been the one glimmer of hope recently. Funny how many of the self proclaimed experts on here predicted he wouldn't be able to play "JDT's pressing brand of football". (Whatever that is)

No need, I'll drive him up for free.

Kaminsky has regressed dramatically this season, was always an average shot stopper at best, if a big offer came in for him I'd take it, you know, indulge in a bit of player trading like other Clubs do. As for Morton, average player at best and imo he can't be arsed anyway, since the Preston game has looked like he's counting down the minutes until he returns to Liverpool for me.

Realistically I don't see any coming in but I still think ideally we need two. Gallagher and Vale are absolutely useless and we might not be able to rely on BBD for goals if the rumours about him signing a pre contract agreement are true. Difficult to see where a goal may come from in this squad now unless Dack chips in with a few.

Rubbish. Mowbray himself admitted in the press they opted not to offer any new contract extensions during Covid as he thought it wouldn't come across well in the prevailing climate and might unsettle the other players

Horses mouth........apparently.

Anyhow, two strikers needed now ideally I'd say. Not that out crack recruitment team are even capable of finding one. The army of analysts will feed a list of criteria into the computer, wait for it to crunch the results and then provide us with a list of players we can't afford.

The problem with that touching little tale of self pity he spun you is that Waggott and Mowbray had a very healthy one off transfer budget made available to them by the owners for last January which they opted not to use. Irrespective of any Rothwell sale.

Exactly this, Nyambe, Lenihan, Rothwell BBD allowed to walk out for nothing, an abortive attempt to flog off the training ground, what exactly does he have to do to get sacked.

I agree he has to play games - why on earth can't he play them here?

Signed a few, looked good in theory, didn't come off. Mowbray fell out with Giles and the Dutch RB who looked promising on paper turned out to be an injury prone dud. The main area in which we went wrong was in not prioritising a goalscorer and we appear to be repeating the mistake this time round.

Great post.

Hard to disagree. Of all the options out there he seems like one of the least worst which probably means he won't even be on our radar. I suppose in our case a lot would depend on his attitude the last time he was here.

And whilst he has gone off the boil recently, there's by no means any guarantee that anyone who did come in would have equalled or bettered his nine League goals and 4 assists at this stage anyway.

Depends entirely on his attitude I suppose. That needs a Fergie looking him squarely in the eye and assessing whether he has the hunger and desire for the move. Not reams of data analysis.

Obviously, if you do end up with a striker, any striker , (which we haven't currently btw) it depends on who the striker you end up with is. If you end up with George Hirst you can say with a fair degree of confidence that a team of 15 have wasted yours and their time all summer and the Club's money. If the signing turns out to be successful they've done their job but they certainly haven't done their job either if they fail to unearth anyone the Club can actually bring in.

In that particular instance it would appear we've put the majority of our eggs in the basket of a player who doesn't particularly want to come here and a Club who aren't particularly keen to let him go either. We should have been able to sniff out any ambivalence at an early stage and either moved on or at the very least had other options ready to go which it appears we haven't.
