But if you were Lai would you want to invest more before recouping the 40 million from Grant - Grady and Dike! You would be lucky to get 10 million now for these three players? What about long contracted players who are absolutely garbage like Reach? Lai was not responsible for s hite like Albrighton or Chalobah! Why did Blues and Sunderland manage to get energetic loan players who are quality?

Why have Sunderland’s kids been fantastic yet ours rarely get a look in? Is that Lai’s fault?

No doubt Phillips and Bartley will come back next season and play half of it before getting injured again!!

Gourlay needs to get off his fat a rse and develop a Brentford model or Sunderland with talented young kids with quality! TGH has been in and out more times so the kid must be dizzy!

Take Wallace or Swift - sky high wages and can anyone say they are top 3 championship players who consistently perform? Not in my book!

I hate Lai but get why he won’t invest! The issue is the HR structure in place at the club! Gourlay should have gone for hiring Bruce! Who sanctioned the moves for Chalobah and Albrighton - Gourlay or Carlos? Well whoever it was needs to look in the mirror!
