Hearing that Val is gone but they are trying to agree compensation, he wants all up front and WBA want to pay in instalments. One option being considered is to put him on gardening leave for who knows how long. Now heard the Mowbray rumour from two more sources but again not sure if it’s just fans wishing it to happen.

I’d be delighted if Mowbray returned; the football in the Championship was brilliant and I’m sure he’s now a lot wiser since our year in the Prem. however, I suspect such rumours are complete bo\\ocks

I thought Snodgrass might be an asset for Val's replacement.

(I'm working on the proviso that Val will get sacked at some point. I'm not actually sure how he survived the weekend TBH).

But obviously the powers that be have decided that a player who puts his foot on the ball and tries to play no longer fits the club's DNA.

The issue over Snodgrass is infuriating and, for me, worse than the spat with Johnstone. With respect to the latter, we have more than adequate short and long term replacements but, as you say Slick, we have no-one in midfield with the ability to create openings as Snodgrass could. Our midfield is full of similar players as is our forward line, with the exception of Andy Carroll/Daryl Dike.

Right now, we must be one of the easiest teams in the division to play against
