He referenced a recent report that Paqueta was reportedly looking to leave the club in January, stating that he doesn't blame him for wanting to leave.

Cottee also expressed concern for Bowen, who he considers a club legend, due to the team's poor performance and lack of success.

Cottee compared the team's current record to the 2011 season, when they struggled and eventually finished bottom of the league.

He noted that the team has an even worse record this season, with only one win in nine games and many conceded goals.
