Struggling for sponsorship/financing apparently. Another empty boast from Waggott that will disappear into the distance.

If Rotherham fade we could hypothetically not win another game and stay up with one win in 20. What a shambles.

If he was that bothered, why did he come here at all then? His only concern in coming here was to get back on the job market. If he'd ever any serious intention of staying for any length of time he'd have addressed the issue of the players whose contracts were running out at the time. Instead he completely ignored it. And which manager with long term ambitions sells their star striker on the last day of the window? Answer: one who knows he's buggering off three months later. Absolute charlatan, mind you as you say Mowbray is turning out to be even worse.

Exactly what I said! "It was after his first five games where the results were impressive." That was the only point we were on the cusp of the play offs. We were playing someone or other on Sky and if we'd have won we'd have gone 6th albeit other teams would have had several games in hand. We laboured to a 0-0. Essentially I agree with you 100%.

We're talking November/early December there. It was after his first five games where the results were impressive if not the football. Then he appeared to lose the players and the rest of the season was dismal.

Usually agree with you but Lambert's useless. Like Mowbray will be doing in summer he left the contract situation in an appalling state. Not one striker under contract when he left. And, with hindsight we now know he never had any intention of staying long term but was merely using us as a leg up back into the job market.

If his argument was "If you don't finish in the top six you're nowhere, you might as well finish 17th than 9th as long as you're making progress then I could sort of see where he was coming from. Unfortunately I don't think his argument is that as he now appears to be claiming its impossible to get promoted. His argument about player development is also completely redundant as thanks to his and Waggott's negligence with the composition of the squad hardly any of them will be here next year. He better not be here next season. He's baiting the fans with every single press conference now.

I've thought that many a time. Apart from "no possession football". Now it's nothing but.

That's not a particularly bold claim is it? He'd have to be fairly poor to be worse than Bell and missing a leg to be worse than Douglas.

Wash your mouth out, he's as bad as Mowbray. If he joined until the end of the season he'd also insert a clause allowing him to jump ship if he lost the first two.

Must win game, no other result is acceptable. Don't want to hear a peep about Derby's qualities pre match, I want to hear about us and what we're going to try and do.

He keeps assuring us that that's what's going to happen but he's cutting it a bit bloody fine Tom.

Spot on Stuart. A more helpful question would be (Even if the decision had previously been taken to allow Mowbray to leave in a relatively dignified manner in the summer) If we lose tomorrow is there anyone out there who could put a smile on the players faces and give us a short term "new manager bounce until the end of the season? Any suggestions? Sparky? Martin O Neill?

We're in major trouble if Rotherham win tonight and we lose tomorrow night.

I also mentioned Mowbray's run of one win in fourteen (at that point One poster said: "So Blackburn are us 5 years ago. Sorry".

I went on a Coventry forum for a bit more info while this was still going on and they said that it had gone fairly quiet on leaving their Ryton training ground since Waggott and Venus left. Funny that.........

It's roughly 40 acres isn't it on both combined sites? Don't be taken in by the spin. There's nothing wrong with the existing sites.

It would also have to be under a new manager and coaching staff who were here for the long term and who had us flying and who were of the same mind before it was worth considering. Anyone know how much 60 acres of land at Whitebirk would cost? I just can't see how a replacement facility in an inferior location makes any sense at all. Of course, we'll see if alternative plans are pursued at some point or whether the be all and end all was to sell some land for housing and the latest piece in the LT was merely a bit of propaganda designed to make the scheme sound like a good idea all along but one which was unfortunately thwarted by NIMBY local residents. The solution is simple, if you're worried about the £1.9 m net running costs of the Academy, employ a manager who doesn't pay the likes of Mulgrew and Ayala more NOT to play for us!

"Whether it was defined as a big chance" you can't use that as a criteria it's completely subjective! To give it some sort of credibility it'd have to have some form of definition I.e. not more than ten yards out between the goal posts etc. Edit: Oops Brian beat me to it.

So in the latest Sharpe propaganda piece in the Telegraph it's freely admitted the one site wouldn't suffice for Cat 1 status yet Waggott was quite happy to press on with it until he was caught out. Why isn't Sharpe concentrating on that instead of claiming an alternative is necessary? Also is the bit about EFL profit and sustainability rules factually correct? I thought spending on infrastructure was exempt.

Sorry about that. Sunderland let me down as well.

Best possible result I'd say. We edge a point nearer safety and the one win in 15 thing can still be held against Mowbray.

Great ball from Davenport. He'll be dropped for the next game.

Wycombe losing now.

Wycombe just let a goal in.
