He's on loan as far as I know.

A pal of mine who is a Rochdale fan tells me the transfer of the wonder kid Baah to Man City is off. He failed the medical apparently.

Don’t know if this has been asked but what would have happened if Sunderland got to the EFL Trophy final today?

Would they have to defend it tomorrow??

What is happening to the trophy? They get it for one night?

Mad.

Also, Salford City can do one.

Think today’s winners get a Papa Johns instead

Poor bastards. That garlic butter dip thing needs to be banned under the Geneva convention.

We truly are living in strange times. I never thought that I'd see Jason Lowe score the winning penalty in a Wembley final.

[JHRover]

Incredible run for Hasselbaink at Burton. Hammered Crewe away today who are a strong side at home. Something like 9 in 11 or 10 in 12 since he took over.

He contributed absolutely nothing all game 🤣

His career fascinates me.

[chaddyrovers]

Portsmouth have sacked Kenny Jackett as manager

[JHRover]

How come Wigan have been bought by a Bahrain based businessman? I thought nobody was buying debt ridden town clubs?

Hasn't he done well in a couple of roles? If so another worth a punt on to replace TM?

1) score

2) the winning penalty

 3) be in a Wembley final.

Fixed it for you. All three in one game is even more incredulous.

Not sure. He did very well at Burton first time around in getting them out of League Two and top of League One. Nigel Clough the finished the job and got them to the Championship.

At QPR and Northampton he struggled, though most managers seem to struggle at those clubs.

Doing an unbelievable job now though. Maybe Burton is the right fit for him.

If someone had said a few years ago that Jason Lowe would score a winning penalty in a shoot-out at a near empty Wembley in 2021 I'd have assumed we'd carried on falling through the leagues and it was a National League play-off final or something.

Still can't believe we haven't played at the 'new' Wembley by the way, we must be the biggest English club yet to play there surely. And to think if Pedersen's header v Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final had gone in we'd have been one of the first.

Some peno it was!

There are 8 league clubs left who haven't played at the new Wembley last time I read.

Nottingham Forest and probably Ipswich are the other two stand out names.

The others are Port Vale, Oldham, Crawley, Colchester and Accy.

Hasslebaink’s return to Burton coincided with the club giving him significant budget in January compared to the previous manager. Carter was one of a number of new signings.

Carter has scored again for Burton, leading 1-0 at Blackpool.

And four of those are founder members of the Premier League.

He paid a couple of million pounds. Let's see what happens with them in coming years first

Doesn't matter what he paid. Maybe it will be good, maybe it will be bad. Nobody knows. But it proves there are people out there who will buy these north west town clubs when they fall on hard times.

I keep being told that if Venkys leave Blackburn Rovers goes the same way as Bury. Bolton and Wigan have both come through difficulties and are looking forward with optimism debt free. 

Why couldn't Blackburn Rovers do that?

he scored at luton for us when he played to albeit in the wrong net. maybe he is a striker after all this time and tony had one of his gallagher moments and popped him at CB. Least we dont have to worry about arma leaving anymore
