It's not just a new Manager we need. It has come clear that this experiment of Coleman as a Huge Conk style chairman, with full oversight of everything, has failed miserably. If the new ownership group doesn't want to become pariahs like the Caplan, Whatshisface and Silverstein, they need to...

Grimes wasn't Leon, but he was always available, and kept things moving. He dictated the tempo of our play, and whilst this tempo was not always the one we wished to see, he has and will be missed. I guess what I'm saying is that he wasn't perfect, but he's better than what we have now. That's...

You could argue the players aren't good enough, and to a certain extent that is true. But to lay the blame solely at the hands of the players' quality is to ignore the fact that the results have fallen off a cliff since he was linked with West Brom and the relationship between manager and...

Not sure it's true to say everything went through Grimes for the past 5 years. Under Cooper, most attacks went through Roberts or Bidwell didn't they. The football was dross yet pragmatic. Didn't Grimes play as full back much of the time for Potter?

The performance in the first half against Sheffield United is the straw I'm clinging onto. But that was with Grimes, often slowing us down in attack, but a safe pair of hands none the less. I think Coleman realises if the Swedish guy doesn't come until the summer we need someone on loan in...

Good point well made

None of the past three seasons have been particularly great, and he's played nearly every minute. He must take his share of the blame, and we literally haven't tried anything else since relegation - the very definition of banging our heads against a wall. Of course, he doesn't have to leave for...

Now that really would be turning a new Page. No more of this possession nonsense, in fact no discernable tactics whatsoever.

That's as maybe, but far too often he slows things down and is too ponderous. If the passes into the final third are happening too slowly, they become so easy to read. I'm not writing him off, but quite often he needs to be less negative. He's decent at Championship level, but I feel that this...

Personally, I reckon there is reason to be slightly more optimistic than that. No one buys a club with the aim of being a Championship club, because the league is nothing but a money sucking black hole with no chance of a return on your investment. Remember, the last lot took over a Premier...

To be fair Morris isn't American, he's English with a Welsh mother from Llan Ffestiniog, and has recently provided investment to a church in that village.

Always going to be on the cards since they came on board - they clearly weren't going to come here to be part of a syndicate. This can only be good news.

Not convinced it's as simple as getting a striker in. You could stick Haaland up top and he ain't scoring many with that service. We haven't missed many sitters in this recent run of matches. The MPH chance up at Sheffield Utd appart, obvs. Blaming the recent run of matches on the strikers is...

I'm sick and tired of hearing people bang on about all the 'clueless', 'fraud' managers we've been having here, yet every single manager we've had since we're back in the Championship apart from Duff, who was actually clueless at this level, have gone on to manage in the Premier League - 3 out...

What isn't clear is what side Cravatt and Coleman are on. They've seemingly invested into the original LLC in the US, unless they're part of the Morris investment and all three have invested less than was envisaged, though I suspect it's the former. What also purplexes me is why someone who...

It's never made sense to me that Cravatt, Coleman and Morris are just here for a ride on the Kaplan/Levien/Silverstein ride to nowhere. Morris' decision not to invest as part of the LLC adds further fuel to that particular fire. He ain't getting any younger, so if he's going to do something here...

It's a ship that's sailed for me. If he'd have got the breaks in his career he could have made it in the Championship, but it hasn't quite worked out for him. If it's going to happen for him, it'll be at Bolton. If you're going for a Welsh player from Bolton, go for Aaron Collins. Though, if...

He'll get better offers.

One thing the last few weeks have shown me is that we're a completely different team when Allen starts (and stays on the pitch for an hour or so). There may be more obvious places we need to strengthen, but for me it is critical we get in a younger version of Allen through the door. Although I...

Lowe is a non-starter for me. It smacked me as a poor, desperate signing when he was brought in, and Saturday alone, when he had the only shot on goal when he could have given either Pato or the much maligned Yates a goal on a plate, and a bleeding equaliser when we'd played so poorly, was...
