As much as I love Mowbray, please nooooo!!
His last appointment was made with the heart
and not with the head. BB is right and I don’t think there’s anyone out there than get this useless bunch to stave off relegation, but Mowbray definitely can’t.

What I don't get is with the exception of Fellows, Heggem and Darnell Furlong, this squad topped the league for a few weeks towards the start of the season or was that last season seems so long ago now and now you have to feel, only the appeals panel can save us from relegation. Embarrassing when you think two of the three teams below us two have had point deductions., but I still have a hope Morrison will go all Berahino on a few in the dressing room and instil a bit of pride back into them.

When the penny drops that Patel is not going to invest in the club people may just wake up and realise he's conned us and is trying to make a few quid and he's waiting for a real investor to buy him out. I have a feeling people won't have to wait much longer.
2020 the year the bubble burst  Doh

I don’t agree. I feel re is the real deal.

Remember the Financial Fair Play malarkey meant he could not invest in squad improvements immediately.

Not sure where we sit now, maybe this summer it becomes possible. I danger is that he will be investing in Div One quality rather than Championship promotion hunters.

Long term a Division One team build of young potential could be a smart investment as (does not happen often for us) we might unearth gems that we can sell on whilst also getting promoted.

But, if you are right, it’s a very strange business move to not invest and allow the club to drop to Division One and have what little value there is drop even further.

I agree; I think Patel and Co. have GOT to operate with one hand behind their backs - and more - because of the Dirty Business (see what I did there?!) of Lai and cronies, who literally bled the club dry.
It'll be heartbreaking but MAYBE we'll look back on this relegation, if it happens, as being the fresh start, the 'reset' that we needed. Sad
