• The better question is what next, and what do the fans wish for? Has Kinnear burnt his reputation after his first failure? Is the ceo the sacrificial lamb, when the fault in reality is probably across a number of individuals? Is it one & done? What are we we hoping on the ownership? A quick sale from tfg, and take our chances that the next group will be any better than what we have? Cant be any worse Ian, well don't count on that. Football is full of charlatans, and the attraction of a mid size Premier League club will attract them, don't worry about that (or perhaps you should). The club cant continually have to start again, with a fresh team, and actually do anything meaningful. UK government proves the point. Does a partial sale improve the situation? Stability and discipline of tfg, but some extra ambition & cash of someone prepared to get closer to the club? Who the f*** knows. Does Kinnear need to make a statement. Well if youre going to put yourself out t...

• Laurie, unless Branthwaite gets an England call there is a 3 week international break coming up in a couple of weeks. ...

• I have put the events of the past week or so behind me. No use crying over spilt milk.rnrnThere was much to be encouraged about from that performance.rnWe have a group of young players that have a bit about them - George, Harrison, Hackney, Rhol. All future first team regulars in my opinion.rnrnI am hoping Alcaraz and Dibling will be integrated into that group. Going by what Moyes has had to say about the squad size they will get their chance.rnrnBarry is showing improvement despite that missed header. Harry Kane knew he had been in a game.. rnrnI was not in favour of Grealish coming back but I have to admit his presence gave the whole team a lift when he came on.rnrnMykolenko is getting forward more. He got skinned for their first goal but he won\'t be the only fullback to suffer at the hands of Muembo this season. rnrnBranthwaite got another full game in. Three games a week coming up shortly. I think Moyes will give him a rest here and there. Tarkowski is...

• Jonathan I\'d put Johnson through the middle but I\'m not sure it would fit Moyes game plan. I\'d also like to see Johnson, Grealish and George play as a 3 behind Barry but not sure where that leaves KDH/Armstrong. ...

• Because, PG, CJ\'s history on this site goes back almost as far as yours and mine, and he has always been uncommonly sensible. rnrnThat he has a viewpoint on Moyes that is sharply different from yours and mine does not justify, IMO, declining to further take him seriously. rnrnAs to Armstrong, of course Chris has no evidence or knowledge regarding TFG\'s desire, or lack thereof, to sell him. There is likewise no evidence or knowledge that they were actively shopping him. My unsupported opinion happens to match Chris\' on this -- somebody came in with an offer to buy our young 4th choice defensive midfielder for £40M of pure profit, and they strongly considered accepting it. I have read reasonable arguments that TFG letting the fan reaction dissuade them was a poor business decision on their part. rnrnAnd as to our lack of net spending, it certainly wasn\'t for lack of trying. Balogun left a £45M deal on the table when he walked away. Doue declined more tha...

• I take it back. George didn\'t fully track his man for the second. Not a lot AMN could do. He tried but the stop start was too great tbf....
