So, Mowbary's huge outlay for an investment nets us a whopping 1 mil on the face of it?

Buggar, I lived on KINGSWAY too, 126.

I would like to have one of those. Lived a stones throw from Crown. Watched Stanley 68 from formation for a couple years.

I wonder if that thought is now entering GB n JDT's minds. I am hoping this is not where the oorch light comes in and they realize what they have done. Wondering why nobody told them that their "healthy budget" was less than half the other rivals. Hope not. JDT seemed to be keen on this fella imagining he might not be too pleased about now.

I loved Radio Rovers. 3 hours pre game and an hour after match was simply great. All for the huge cost of....well for nothing.

Something Mowbary never looked at. I was stunned to watch Tosi. taking, pretty decent, long throws for Fulham. Never once saw him take one for us. There was another ex player of ours doin it too that never did for us, I wanna saw Amare Bell? Mowbary must of figured no point in doin that silly ass stuff if your tall players are out on the wing. Why would he just ignore that potential.

Fireworks are on Monday.over here That do you?

A "scoop" he no doubt lifted from here.

Serbian Foden? What cos he favours him a little and plays in City's colours. Scored a few but I did not see anything just stand out like that Anel's video showing lots of great tackles, a lot of desire not to get done, plus looks to read the game well. Not saying this Fodan from Serbia isn't great I just did not see it on his HIGHLIGHTS video

Anybody surprised other than our DoF and our new Manager.

I think it is fantastic we go with our own youth first, very commendable BUT, both our DoF and Manager are new and for the most part new to this league so what IF it goes tits up after a short time, the window is closed then. In a way it is OK, great.even, that JDT and Greg are looking to go that way at least it gives them time to get at least a feel of the level of Championship Footy and the level of our opponents BEFORE they go splashing cash. My biggest fear is that we do sell Diaz, late in the window as usual no one is brought in due to the late date and the Brereton money is banked. So we get to the January window both GB and JDT are happy with targets they have identified are comfortable that they can do more than just hack it. So Mr Broughton (sp?) is that his name? Damn senility. anyway our DoF picks up the phone his the BUY PLAYER speed dial button on the phone........,...NOTHING. Just the FAX mysteriously stops working. GB speaks to JDT, ring ring.......no answer. It continues like this and by January both Greg and Jon are outta here. They've just been Lamberted or Lambertboozled what ever you want to call it. All of course speculation but it has been done before right?

Not just play the lad out of position but make it known to the world that ToMo thinks that is his best position. The man was a nut. Giles first game was on the left and he was pinging in crosses but no one was there. I would like to have had a good look at that lad without Mowbary here. Could have neen a valuable plan B, when the pretty football is not working bring on Giles and a good, or even, half decent centre forward, hell maybe even a big factory team bruiser that can head a ball and there would be goals scored so good us Giles' crossing from the left. All of course carried with the disclaimer....IMHO.

Go forwards.

They really do don't they, I know most of us wish for their demise but I honestly think they will be a force in this league. Yes yes they have lost some prem quality players but I think they still have plenty of quality and if properly managed they will be there or thereabouts in the promotion shake up.

Don't want any billy big boots either

Good post, thanks for taking the time

With GB here what is Waggot's shelf life now? GB has seen first hand Waggots incompetent shit show at finding a DoF and a manager. Losing both our top 2 candidates (plus how many we didn't hear of). GB was found by headhunters, Venkies seemingly didn't trust him to do that, and then after weeks if nothing from Swag he comes in and gets an exciting manager in days. Wags has to be on borrowed time.

I believe Glen 100%. His phone silence? he told us ahead if time he was going offline for his hols. Good for him. I believe we had him and was the Venkies to lose which they duly did. Anyway perhaps it has been a blessing in disguise cos I like the vibes coming from these two. Don't like the body language of some of our players around him (Mowbary loyalists) but I am sure it will be shape up or ship out. I am 100% convinced anyone not fully onboard will be un ceremoniously jettisoned. I think some of our lads are in for a rude awakening, lemon drizzle period is over

Ursula Andress for me, again walking out the sea.

Did Gally look right, look left and look behind and ask WHERE?

Funny though, listening to the DoF it's sounds like there are already targets. If so then that is very encouraging but also worrying since they have not even seen the lads on the training field yet so not sure how they can be on top of what we need.

Same here, any links to their opinions, feelings on him leaving and iverall assesment of his time there?

As an ex striker if he can get Gally to trap a bag of cement he'll do for me. No seriously, saw the interviews and between them they have me very excited. Let's hope he can put his words into something real. Loved the possesion but you have to go forwards and score goals, Mowbary would be horrified. He coached that iut if the likes of Trav.and Nyambe( IMHO). Welcome and make us proud again.

I hope he can put round and square pegs in the right round and square holes, be a good start.

I will believe JDT when he is unveiled. Has any one ever got the Venkies manager hire right ahead of time? Seems like they do a decent job of keeping things secret. Could they still pull one from left field? Got a bad feeling about this whole thing I sense an unmitigated disaster coming, the worst yet, rudderless ship as Mercer says, I share his concerns
