I know it's "only" Luton but do you think TK actually didn't want to move to a Premier League side?

I don't rate him but fair enough.

Agreed. People are looking far too hard every week to blame officials for the slightest thing every week to cover our own shortcomings. Thought the decisions tonight were relatively marginal. Sometimes they get given sometimes they don't but if the boot was on the other foot you'd want the officials to make the same calls.

Beggars belief doesn't it. Replacing a £20m up and coming talent with a 32 year old crock on a short term deal who lasted 15 mins!

This is a fair point. Now Adam Wharton has left which of the squad are really good enough? I'd say one. Szmodics. On occasion Scott Wharton and Dolan. The rest, forget it. We're reaping the "benefits" of the Mowbray/Waggott/Venus era and after that having the worst CEO and DOF imaginable. That's before you get onto the issues concerning the owners

On tonight's evidence he is one of our better players yet will no doubt end up walking out of the Club for nothing under the tried and trusted Waggott/Mowbray formula.

So in your eyes Broughton/Waggott/anyone else working at the Club gets a free pass and can perform as badly as they want?

Did he actually say "I don't know what we get now?". "Keep pushing on?" If he thinks we've been pushing on the last few years I wouldn't like to see us when we haven't been. Oh I forgot - we leased a new bus.

We're more competitive within games imo. That said there's no real advantage to be gained by losing 1-0 as opposed to 3-0 so I accept the criticism of his record thus far. He needs a couple of wins - badly.

Can't argue with either of those points really. That said, JDT wasn't doing any better either towards the end, in fact I thought we were far less competitive within games and he had Adam Wharton at his disposal as well.

Think it's a bit harsh myself. He's only been here ten games or so and prior to that we were hurtling towards relegation under JDT anyway. If Broughton had said Eustace was his pick not Waggott's, would there be the same level of hostility towards him?

It is getting quite difficult to see where the next win is coming from.

Add Nyambe and Brereton with Dolan no doubt soon to be the next one to walk out for nothing.

Caught the second half. Dolan by far the pick of our players. Szmodics looked well below his best, completely missed his kick in front of goal on one occasion and when he closed the keeper down he just needed to quickly prod the ball in with his left foot instead of turning round 360○ to get the ball on his favoured foot. Hedges - Christ, it always baffles me that years ago someone decided he was worthy of a professional football contract. We must be cursed with two of the worst players ever to wear the shirt in him and Gallagher. Brittain ran him fairly close with some of his antics - looks a really poor player with an even worse attitude. Overall we have a bit of a stench of relegation about us, they're trying and playing for the Coach but if SS doesn't score, no-one else is looking likely to.

Wouldn't say we're safe with a win today, although it would be a massive step towards safety. 2 wins maybe. Good set of results today though, I thought Venus being put on gardening leave and Rowett coming in would spark Birmingham into life

Agreed - but on a positive note we'll be better off without him.

Great point. Bullshit Broughton completely debunked in 2 seconds flat. Pity none of the interviewers weren't on the ball and /or ballsy enough to ask "So Gregg, as the Wharton money will be coming in in £6m installments AND you want to divide it 4 ways AND you say you want to keep some back, how far do you really think you will get spending £750k on the team?" Would pay for another Wahlstedt I guess.

I would imagine the feeling is mutual.

But unfortunately wouldn't know a decent player if he tripped over one.

Yeah right. We'll see.

You may be right. Broughton obviously didn't veto it though either way.

Is he really though? He talks a great game but I predict 1) The Wharton and Raya money will disappear on running costs. 2) No-one of any consequence will be sacked. 3) He'll still be here regardless happily drawing his salary and telling us he's filed his reports as to what he thinks SHOULD happen on various issues without actually telling us what those recommendations are or what his own views are, and without giving a **** whether his recommendations are implemented or not. That's if you even believe he does submit recommendations. Every time he opens his mouth I just assume he is lying and the opposite is the case.

In the words of Mandy Rice Davies "He would say that wouldn't he!." Good at blaming one another aren't they - Waggott trying to make out Szmodics wasn't a Broughton choice and Broughton trying to dump the responsibility for Fleck onto Waggott - even though he is DOF.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Credibility? Say what you like about the owners/Waggott etc (and rightly so) but these high profile transfer cock ups have only happened since he's been at the Club. That's in addition to signing crocks like Ennis and Fleck and other duds like Hirst, Telalovic, Wahlstedt etc. Someone posted a while back that in their view Waggott wasn't fit to sweep the car park and I'd put Broughton firmly in the same bracket. You're absolutely spot on about the CEO though. I've long said that he is an extremely dangerous man to have around the Club. He is obviously determined to cling onto his £300k p.a. for as long as possible and I just worry there'll be nothing left to salvage by the time he is eventually wheeled out of Ewood in a wooden box.

"But I'm still happy to stay and pick up my excessive wage anyway".
