  1. Just now, Mercer said:

    Last season, there were eight players from the Coyle era who started at least 23 league games (half a season) or more:

    Raya, Nyambe, Mulgrew, Lenihan, Williams, Bennett, Evans and Graham (Mulgrew, Williams & Graham being Coyle permanant signings).

    Add to that list Gallagher who Coyle brought in on loan and who now Mowbray has just splashed £5million.

    I would also point out that the plethora of Aacademy talent eg Travis, Butterwoth, Buckley, Magloire etc etc was all here when Mowbray arrived and has been developed by Johnno.  

    Perhaps Coyle wasn't quite the 'donut' you think.

    Except for that bit about taking us down to the 3rd tier, with 8 of the players who kept us up comfortably last season.

    In 2015/16 - the season before Mowbray arrived, we finished 15th in the Championship.

    In 2018/19, after two and a half seasons with Mowbray in charge, we finished 15th in the Championship.

    We are NOT progressing!  When will the penny drop?

    If Mowbray gets us any higher than 15th this coming season, I would be extremely surprised.

    We've lost a goalie with far more potential than wither Walton or Eastwood and signed Gallagher for £5million because I think Mowbray spunked £7+million away on Brereton.

    For me, an underwhelming window so far and that's being generous.

  3. Prem league spent £1.2bn last summer. Spent £600m so far this year.

    take £100k a week wage, delay a transfer by 5 weeks, save half a million.

    transfers are getting later each year because there’s a huge cost saving. Whilst we aren’t dabbling in those numbers, budgets and wages are scaleable. 

    Everyone chill out a bit. Plenty of time left.

  4. Grewy was brilliant in the few games he had for us. Think he came in because Genoe was old and broken and Collier was shit? 

    Then it was Bobby Mimms, who I was dreading but actually did a fantastic job for us before handing over his gloves to Flowers and the rest is history..

    One I never took to was John Filan. Just wasn’t good enough.
