There's a lot of sticks to hit Brands with but I'm not sure this is one. Pretty sure Bowler got injured and by the time he was fit again his contract was basically up.

I thought Steve Walsh signed Bowler, but someone can correct me if I am wrong.

The success rate in Germany isnt great despite what every body thinks
Keanan Bennetts has ended up from Monchengladbach back here at Ipswich on loan, now almost 22 with his england career stalling at under 19 level
Reece Oxford has only just started to cement himself in FC Augsburg's first team as he's approaching 23 after being let go by Gladbacjh
Rabbi Motando cant get a sniff at second division Schalke so has been loaned out, first to Stoke & next to Cercle Bruge (The belgian Everton)
Ethan Ampadu played 3 games at RB Leipzig
Anthony Evans got binned by Padderbon & is now back in England at Bristol Rovers
Clinton Mola has played 8 games for Stuttgard
Matt Penney had a loan at St Pauli, he was that good Sheff Wed released him to ipswich
Matthew Bondswell didnt last long at Leipzig, hes now at Newcastle under 23s
Highly rated Mandela Egbo, now 24 left gladbach and is now at New York Red Bulls
Ex England under 20 player Kaylen Hinds didnt get a chance at Wolfsburg and now at 23 is at Aldershot Town
Red Bull Leipzig ended up selling Ademola Lookman at a loss, after a less than impressive permanent spell in germany
Jonjoe Kenny looked good for Schalke, came back, wasent good enough for us or Celtic in the SPL
Reiss Nelson has also dropped off a cliff after a half decent loan in Germany
How much credit to Leipzig deserve after fielding Emile Smith Rowe for only 3 games, his next loan (at Championship Huddersfield) really gave him that uplift in his career
Just because Jadon Sancho did well over there (in reality Sancho would of made it anywere he went.....including staying at City) dosent mean its a great place for young english players to go!
But Brands let Bowler go for peanuts when all these other PL and Championship clubs were willing to pay £15-20 million for him, shocking.Blaming Brands for Josh Bowler now
Some of you really need to learn to pick your arguments.
It didn't go that well for Gray either at Leverkusen. Although we wouldn't have got him for < £2m if it had.

If he wants it, now is his time to ask for it.
Lack of attacking options, hugely disappointing Rondón, if he’s not pushing for game time now, then somethings not right.
Would be very shocked if he or Simms aren’t getting any form of game time on Sunday.

We paid 5 million for him, he's doing well at Blackpool for a freebie - instrumental when we won the under 23 league title + only 5 million plus his wages down the plughole he was fast oh wait Brands like old doddery past it players ....

Josh Bowler completes £4.25m move to Everton from QPR
Josh Bowler has completed his £4.25m move from QPR to Everton and signed a three-year contract at Goodison Park.
Considering he never made a single first team appearance for us, I'd be very surprised if we triggered any of these add-ons.Sky Sports said:
I liked Josh Bowler a lot in the 23s but we're talking about a lad with 38 first team appearances when he left us, mostly on loan at hull, 1 goal scored, 2 assists.
And since he left us 21 apps, 2 goals, 1 assist. He's a nice player but I don't think the decision to let him go should be used to hang Brands. Not when Iwobi is right there.
