Im only expressing my opinion (one that is the same as the majority of fans) aint that what blogs are about, but apparantley I am completley wrong! As well as most fans who are also wrong. 4 seasons to get it right and we still haven't, yet JP cant do no wrong can he. Either that or he is a wolves fan as the name mite suggest. Pepping up clubs 2 be bigger than ours, fan support & fan base are 2 different things. We have got fans all over. Im sure we would have the support & get 30k or more given chance 2 establish & playing stylish, attacking football & with a goalscorer under the mighty Mowbray. That is of course if we had not reduced our capacity, another great idea of JP's but no, he cant do any wrong can he? Anyway never one to detract from subject of the blog, I am sure 1 or 2 players will go maybe Morrison which leaves space for Dorrans who I forgot 2 mention earlier. Storming championship next year oh yes! Forgot 2 mention Dorrans & Clement in the squad, maybe we need 22 players then :)

The truth is that JP just WILL NOT invest. And if he won't invest in Mowbray, then perhaps we have to accept our fate. This club will not move any further forward with this type of chairmanship. Granted we do not want a Ridsdale type of chaiman but the pro JP/TM brigade have to admit that this was THE pivotal season. It has been our worst Prem season yet and we should have been where Stoke are. Play the football we play but when it's needed you have to Bolton/Stoke it out if you see what I mean. There is no backbone or steel in the team and that is down to the manager & chairman. Interesting posts on here. The truth is that JP just WILL NOT invest.

Not sure if Mowbray would have him back, I also heard he was actually offered the whole contract last year and that he turned it down rather than what was reported so who knows. Back 2 Peace (30) maybe Beatties style wouldn't of suited but I think he would still have scored enough 2 keep us up & 2 be honest, really would be ideal 2 get on end of Brunts crosses. The point is while Hull & Stoke are signing Bullard, Kitson & Beattie were signing with due respect Mulumbu! I am not sayin Peace out yet but if we were 2 go straight back up again I think the fans finally want some ambition because it just hasn't worked so far. I mean c'mon it would be our 5th season?? Over what would be 8 years, hardly we want the world & we want it now is it 29, santa :) I have only heard from word of mouth, was expecting 2 find something on here or on in some other news but its prob just a rumour.

I don't know who could replace him, but if there is some "Sugar Daddy" out there, I hope the first appointment they would make is to bring back Batson as Chief Exec or Chairman. Funny how Peace got rid of him isn't it? A man who knew more than he did. Manager? My preference is Martinez from Swansea. Hungry, young and done a fantastic job there. However if Peace, hadn't treated Megson in the shameful way he did, we would have been an established Premiership club for a good few seasons now. Ask yourself the best players of the last 10 years? Gera, Kanu & Greening. Who signed them? The only other one who comes close is Maresca. I'm all for "pretty" football, but first you need to ensure you win the games to stay up. Mowbray signings, on the whole have been shocking. The loan deals, diabolical. Selling the bloke who was a proven goalscorer and never replacing him, unforgiveable. The last few games have been too little, too late. In the current climate, it is unlikely Peace will leave.

TM has publicly stated that he was totally behind the wage restriction that prevented us signing players like Beattie. They have both admitted that it was probably a mistake. There is no rift between these two and that is exactly how we need it to be. This pruning of the squad is just what we need, we have the loan system to use this season and we also have young home grown players that may come into contention. The most important signings we need to make are a competant fitness/medical team. The main problem this season has been injuries to key players, our current fitness 'expert' appears to have been an unmitigated disaster. Fulham have had a great season but have enjoyed the luxury of using a very small number of players. As we've seen in the last month of the season, continuity makes a massive difference. 27 Dano. Your question, 'how many teams would give for that?' Answer. Leeds, Notts Forest and Sheffield Wednesday to name three with bigger support than ours and who were in the prem 10 years ago when we were languishing at the wrong end of Div 1. Norwich, Charlton and Southampton are another three that spring to mind as clubs with similar support to ours. Bradford, Barnsley the list goes on of clubs that lived the dream, your dream for two minutes before coming down to earth with a bump. There is no magic wand to wave, it's down to hard work and graft, things that people don't seem to understand in todays society. With nods to Queen and 30 Baggie, 'I want it all and I want it now.'

Some clever bloke once said on here, "If you want to make a small fortune, start with a large fortune, then buy a football club". If JP walked away from our club right now, knowing THERE IS NO ONE INTERESTED IN BUYING INTO IT, we should be up **** Creek without a paddle. He is a rich man because he knows what he's doing with money. None of you OR ME have the faintest idea or we would be rich. No one stays poor or 'comfortably off' if they can avoid it. Stop bloody wailing and watch TM and JP next season with what they've learned this one. I almost was all the way with Exiled Baggie until he qualified it with his JP comment.
