Latest press conference says Sinclair deal dead and likely to be no more business this window  ..oh joy
Good to see our owner is showing his support for our under pressure manager by backing him to the hilt. thank goodness we haven't got one of those foreign owners who talk big but don't deliver on their promises.

I think before we get on Lerner's back, it might be wise to possibly to speculate as to why the deal is dead (if it is).

These type of announcements always happen just before the deadline arrives.
I bet Sinclair does come.

Lambert seemed his usual happy self in the conference and managed to suck any optimism or enthusiasm out of the room by the looks of it. Would love to know whether they are backing him or not. Ultimately of your house was up for sale you wouldn't spend £10,000 on a new kitchen would you? I just hope we can survive until we are sold.

From the 30 mins we have seen Gil will bring something different but it is one hell of a risk to pin all our hopes on him turning our season around.

I'll be a tad disappointed if that's it for this window.

You'd be odds on to win the Understatement of the Year award for saying that.

I'm hoping its bullshit. God help us going into the final part of the season with this squad.

The thing is though, I don't think the squad is really all that bad. Yeah, new players are needed in certain area's but a squad like that should doing a lot bloody better than they are.

It may just be a very cunning plan to lull clubs into thinking we have no money before we go on a spending spree.

Maybe Mr Fox has been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University.

Guzan, Hutton, Vlaar, Delph, Sanchez, Gil, Benteke, Okore. There's nothing that comes close to that in the bottom 7/8. We all know why we suck.

It might well be a ploy to push Sinclair or Man City into a decision if they think we've washed our hands of any deal.

This squad is more than capable of finishing somehwere between 12th and 8th.

We have a really strong spine with a 20 goal a season striker at the top of it. The reason we're struggling is down to Lambert.
