If Bruce is still at the Albion at the end of the loan period then Mowatt will not be returning and will be put up for sale

Think he’ll only have a year left at that point so if he does well there’s probably scope to do a good deal.

We signed 13 players last summer. Only one is still in the first team squad. 

Unbelievable that. If only we'd sacked Warnock last summer and brough wilder in then - one transfer strategy instead of that weird split strategy we had 

I was thinking this the other day, and could only think of Crooks still being here but didn’t double check. But yeah…that’s absolutely embarrassing tbh, and is why I can’t get to excited about any signings that we were after last summer. Not saying they will turn out poor, but I have absolutely no faith in our recruitment team as it stands. Hopefully Wilder and Scott are only signing off on good players.

A shame he's limited the comments as I'm sure the responses would largely be positive.

Seemed like such a nice guy.

I’m still unsure on mowatt, probably because I haven’t seen him play for that long Tbh. Wba fans don’t seem to care he’s gone more that it’s us he came to, quite a few seem to think he’s been poor since some injury he picked up. Idk I’m not against the signing I just hope it’s not our #1 midfield target as I don’t think he will bring the bigger improvement we need in there.

“We could have done ten deals by now, but we’d have overpaid," he said blunty. "Some clubs do overpay, and then they have to deal with the consequences down the line. We could be sat here where there wouldn’t have to be questions about recruitment because it would have all been done."

"But what would have been done would have been overpaying and putting ourselves in a poor financial position and gambling massively our long-term future for immediate gain. We could quite easily do that, break rules and then do this and do that to work your way around it. Dodge bullets here and cut corners there.

"You can’t do it, or you shouldn’t do it. We could have easily done it and the manager would be sat here saying, ‘brilliant, I’m alright. I’ve got what I want’. But, as we know, what happens - the consequences and the knock-on effect of the big gamble - has to be picked up by an owner, and at this club the owner doesn’t want to do it that way. Alternatively, somebody else picks it up or deals with the slack down the line, and I don’t think that’s how a football club should be run."

 

“I’ve felt it before. People lose their jobs - people who have been working at the football club for 30-35 years. Local contractors don’t get paid and go out of business. People get shafted. The football club then loses points, slides, relegation… Bang! Bang! Bang!

"I understand it. Supporters are happy at the time, and it’s maybe a slight criticism of how certain supporters sometimes think. They’re quite happy for everybody to spend and live in the moment."

"I remember the Portsmouth situation where they lived in that moment of winning the FA Cup and being in the UEFA Cup and having about 15 guys on £100 grand a week, in a ground that holds about 14-15,000 fans. That’s 14-15,000 really passionate supporters. But all of a sudden a bomb goes off beneath it and all of a sudden they’re in League Two trying to get out of it.”

 

from the Gazette article on Wilders latest press conference.

Good article. I don't think he could have made his or the club's position any clearer.

He's acknowledging there is still work to do on rebuilding the squad but making it crystal clear that they have a plan and are sticking to it - even if it does take longer than they'd ideally like.

I have no problem with that.
