Mourinho isn't a doctor, he was way out of line. I get why he was frustrated at having to lose a player at a crucial time but you can't have a manager dictating to the medical staff how to do their job. If a player suffered a serious injury (might have looked innocuous at the time, doesn't...

Watford are a club who have done well whilst not spending too much cash, they have there special arrangement with Udinese as well through the owners which helps.

"Hopefully we will get a couple of new signings in this week. "I hope we're close. "We're working away as hard as we can to make it happen. Every deal has its own problems because there are so many people involved with the clubs, advisors etc. "Sometimes you think it's done and then it hits...

Its an interesting point as I heard Steve Parish on radio the other week (Crystal Palace chairman) and he reckons a 9 million budget should see you mid table in the championship.

Mowbray just said in press conference we are close to signing 2 more.

I think you're right to a point but underestimate how difficult even that we will be. The aim should be to stay in the championship as long as possible and hope we fluke a promotion in the way Burnley, Blackpool and Crystal Palace did and Ipswich nearly did last year. However even being a mid...

Good striker in league 1, would be quite happy with that.

Bournemouth had a backer willing to bankroll the club, our owners have made it clear they will not do this. This means we have to find the income from elsewhere.

Was looking for one the other week and couldn't find anything mate

I know which is exactly my point on why you'd want to go in and out of the championship very quickly in the way they did. They would have probably got themselves into more trouble again if they got promoted out of L1 and then spent 4 or 5 years in the championship.

I'm not sure how much Crystal Palace and Burnley spend during there promotion campaigns but I'm thinking there the sort of clubs we should be looking to replicate. Ipswich is another decent example although they just missed out last season.

The club need to get in a position where they can be self sustainable in the championship, then we just wait for a fluke season. With a good manager, good recruitment and a good academy I think we could outperform our budget to compete in the championship regularly. It's a very fragile model though

Championship football is a money drain, ideally you'd jump through from L1 to premier league quickly in the way Southampton, Norwich and Bournemouth did. Clubs like Blackburn, Bolton, QPR and Cardiff are racking up massive debts in the championship as were Leicester until they made it.

There a small team but don't let that deceive you, there a tidy outfit who shocked a few last season and I expect them to do the same this year.

Thomas a yard onside according to Mowbray when he was flagged.

Out of the cup and extra energy expended, worse possible outcome from tonight.
