At least it actually looks claret rather then pink.

No excuses was the line given by Bruce and Wyness at the beginning of the season.

Price starts at £25m for Jack now Maddison has gone. Maddison is a very good player but anyone with half a football brain can see that Jack is better and more importantly has a higher ceiling. Plus he has performed against the very best teams as well (Man City, Liverpool etc).

I think Tony is frantically trying to get some money out of China as we speak. If he doesn't I imagine he will have to sell. The next 2 or 3 weeks could be massive for this club.

Ultimately he failed twice. If he is one of the best managers in the league and we had one of the best squads then we should not be talking about 1 goal in a final. We should have got autos.

I'd take that right now.

I thought he was very good against Fulham.

Any chance of this kit being available anytime soon?

He's a massive lump. I've seen him a few times. Awful player.

There's plenty of better managers than Dean Smith who we could go for.

No you're wrong. He has to have someone in the car with him when he is driving to the training ground to tell him what gear to be in.

Interesting thread Looks like rather than sanctions and fines, the EFL will look to work with the club and give them a time period to get back within the FFP limits.

I know all of that about Brentford but he is still a good coach and gets the best out of players. There is no reason why we can't be set up in a similar way. In fact we have Steve Round with his Villa Engine trying to do something very similar behind the scenes. Smith would not be my first choice at all but he is a good coach. No way do I expect promotion next year but we need to give a manager 2/3 years to build a new team, identity and try and get us promoted. Bruce isn't that man. If we were going down the same route as last year by buying experience and having another crack at it then maybe but we can't do that.

You should never continue with failure because of an apparent lack of options. That is a futile exercise. There are plenty of young coaches who have cultivated a team and an identity without spending money. Nathan Jones at Luton, Oscar Garcia, Dean Smith never mind the options abroad.

Well no he doesn't. Bruce doesn't win in either scenario. If we have no money and have to play the youngsters and develop a new style then he doesn't win.
