Still find the Whiteman stuff odd, Mowbray meets with him without a deal with his club sorted, then tells him he has a pot of money to spend but may come back to him later? Seems very arse about tit!

The only exposure I had to Phillips was the goal he conceded in the play off final when the ball rolled under his foot but it sounds like he’s a quality keeper, made a lot of team of the year type lists for the championship

A club with ambition throws blank cheque at Eddie Howe tonight

Weird that we haven’t seen them yet Same kit supplier and sponsor and the season would have started this weekend, maybe some issue with them being stuck on a freighter or something

I have a feeling they will get away with it, problem is how many loopholes does it expose? Clubs could set up a fall guy to take the hit and blame them for any dodgy dealings if there is no punishment to the investment The EFL must be devastated that Wigan didn’t beat Fulham, would have been so easy for them to dock 12 points with no impact

As far as track records go O’Rourke has broken more factual links than others so imagine there’s something in it

Nah they are chatting about buying cars off the Sultan of Brunei All pally and bigging up his achievements

Raya helped create a goal and made a great save within 20 minutes!

We all know we lack imagination therefore the most likely signing from the list is Ben Heneghan who we were linked to before he went to Sheffield United (and never played)

The weird thing is Mowbray hung him out to dry and dropped him yet Walton was Teflon and ever present whilst being much worse

The Raya deal was bad at the time, even worse a year on, we had no replacement lined up, brought in an inferior player on loan and now the money is gone. Meanwhile Raya won the golden glove and is linked to Arsenal and Man City for £10m But hey if Brentford get promoted our fee rises to £5m! https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18607923.rovers-monitoring-raya-situation-amid-man-city-arsenal-links/

Blackpool I think for him and Hart

Potentially Villa

Think Smallwood will end up at Blackpool

So Downing may stay on yet Correct decisions IMO, love Danny but now is the time

So as it stands Hull, Wigan and Charlton are relegated, apart from Hull the other two could still potentially get out of it. Charlton - if Sheffield Wednesday get a 12 point deduction then they replace Charlton in the bottom 3, subject to appeal of course Wigan - if they win their appeal then Barnsley go down instead of them, no further appeals allowed after that decision So amazingly it’s still 2 from Charlton, Wigan, Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday

Couple of umbro reveals today Interesting that Luton have three different sponsors

Myers is Mowbrays biggest cheerleader on twitter interestingly

Yep Andrew Bloch Turns out he’s a PR guy, assumed he was an entrepreneur as i had seen Alan sugar retweet him a few times edit - turns out Andrew Bloch never worked for us, it was Anthony Bloch, I was spectacularly wrong on all counts

No a younger chap, name on tip of my tongue

What’s Paul Hunt up to? I noticed the chap who used to be club secretary or similar seems to be a big entrepreneurial type these day’s, forget his name, think he came from Everton

Maybe he just likes the tie ha

That’s Paul Senior all right!

He’s a good guy, with anyone paid by the club you have to be overly positive though

If they win at appeal they open the door for a new tactic for all!
