    Don’t mind young and cheap and development players as long as a couple in key positions are young cheap quality and ready

    I don’t believe for one second that we paid 10 million quid for Clarke like. Wasn’t it closer to 2m with loads of add ons?

    Not sure how anyone can object to us buying players on the up rather than in decline. Maybe some would actually prefer the Moyes model. Takes all sorts.

    He's talking about when Spurs bought him.

    I don't think he was saying we paid 10m for him. Spurs did.

    20 league games still to play, we’re just in a play-off position currently. We could be nowhere near come May.

    So I am correct then, we were in the playoffs last season and we are currently in the playoffs this season. Predicting the future from a negative standpoint is a baffling thing to do considering the clear trajectory we are on and if you or others can't see it I can't really be arsed anymore.

    We certainly were, well done Mr Mowbray. Let’s see where Beale takes us…

    Yeah i get what you're saying mate. I just think Clarke is yet to be tested properly. I think he may get found out especially against switched on full backs. For context I'd rather lose Clarke than Neil. I maybe in the minority there mind you.

    If 'the model' boils down to that then it's common sense for running a business. The more time goes by the better quality young players we'll be looking at and that's how we grow.

    We could be nowhere near come May could mean we’re 10 points clear at the top

    Yep let’s see. That means we can hold off any moaning about him until the end of this one.

    Neil much more difficult to replace - I agree mate.

    I agree too. Neil will be really rough to replace. Quality player.

    You can still see people almost willing Beale to fail so they can whinge at the club some more.

    He knew what his remit was, he was head coach, we have seen a slight taste in his recruitment in Mr Dack, I doubt he will be signing him for Birmingham, the snakes buys at Stoke worked out well

    Its amazing how football coaches have selective memories. Neil and Mowbray didnt understand the job they were meant to be doing. Bruce losing his job wasnt because of his shocking results, it was because of where he was born. I think Moyse has totally erased us from his memory, I wish I could do the same with him
