Suspect he got ditched for Joe Cole

He said: "Someone told me he signed for Bury this morning so if that's the case we wish him well.
"We need to speak to him about that. I enjoyed him for a week but we wish him well at Bury.
"Maybe location may have been a factor, I don't know."

Sounds like Mowbray didn't even know till this morning so doubt we ditched him, Eagles probably just decided to take the offer on the table rather than waiting for us to make an offer.

Suspect they offered him more cash & he'd probably prefer to be based in the north-west anyhow...

I'm pretty sure last week Mogga said the budget was there for Eagles and Cole.

I would get a decent defender in to cover reda

Location then. To be honest I can't really complain how things are going. It would have been nice to have him, but well, that's the way it is.

He probably realised he wouldn't be guaranteed a starting place here. Suspect that had something to do with it.

Mowbray would be better to keep his transfer/wage purse closed just for now.
May have to dip in to get a CB to cover for Reda, I'd be on the phone to Everton to get Pennington back pronto.
Having Eagles on the books could have backfired big time, he hasn't set the world on fire just lately has he?
Time will tell I guess.

Only negative is in 35 days we won't have Cole and Eagles. Would have been nice to have an experienced option.

Typical Sisu, Mowbray out, typical City, why always us, we haven't finished in the top six for ages, ex players always score against us, if a team needs a win they need to play us, not enough pubs in Cov, not another £1 shop,

Joking aside that is disappointing though. He would have been an actual signing rather than a loan. Good player too.

Indeed. If SISU don't start getting players better than Joe Cole in I'm going back to NOPM.

Agreed. But is this a sign of greed....Bury offer him more cash so he followed the £ signs? I can't think it would be for anything other than that.

The Bury model is not sustainable. Will be bust next year.

In my opinion this is bad news. I think he would have been a great adition to the squad and still only 29 so not past his best either. I think bury if they can keep clarke fit will be suprise top 6 team this year

I got crumbs on it from an egg and cress sandwich but forgot and went outside to look at a hedgehog and took my laptop to try and get a picture. An eagle swooped down and took the wink key. I was cross.

Because their costs are greater than their income by about 200%. The whole business plan is based on promotion to the Championship this season. Irrespective of FFP ( which is another issue) the owner does not have the funds to support beyond one year
Same problem at Nottingham Forest Big shit about to happen there
