Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted October 3, 2020 Once again the lack of investment by the board is showing. Raked in SO much cash but spent almost none of it where it matters - on the pitch. They never back the team on promotion - they can’t compete and it shows. I feel for Farke and, if I was him, I would walk. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted October 3, 2020 It’s also sad that some can watch our team go on its worst ever run in history and still feel the board and manager merit no heat!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 3,992 Posted October 3, 2020 Farke doesn’t deserve the sack but I guess he’ll be the one to pay instead of those that should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 557 Posted October 3, 2020 Well, if the Webberlution flatters to decieve then we'll be left with two options ... The boom, bust and stagnation approach of 1995-2017. Or ... Trying to mirror Leicester and Wolves. Let's see what the future holds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted October 3, 2020 Early days not helped by constant speculation surrounding our players and a management team going back on their promise to come back stronger. It's no wonder better players will want to go to a club with ambition. Maybe it is time for a change as our home record has been absolutely appalling for far too long but if Farke goes I would hasten Webber's already stated ambition to leave as well. Personally I would like a change at the top but we know this is her club and not ours so not worth the effort.... Frustrating as there has been glimpses of past form.. the passage of play for the penalty for one. Same old story of not taking chances still there though. I'd drop Pukki.

komakino 272 Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) It's not a matter of whether Farke and Webber will go, but when will they go. Farke should have been sacked last season, but should have walked before that as he was not supported. Farke could have the whole starting XI sold and he would still not complain. Ideal Delia manager. There is clearly something wrong at CR and I can only see a new manager pulling everyone together.

Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted April 24, 2021 Well it was a fair comment then- we didn't compete in Premiership last time round and even Webber admitted it. So criticism of the ambition then was totally justified. And today my question for the discussion board has been will it be different this time? if so why? If not what lies ahead?

That was your assessment of this season. Not last time round in the prem. If it had been last season you would have had a fair few "floating posters" giving you the thumbs up.

Your post was in October in reference to this season. You and your lot were wrong (as per usual). I think we've done a pretty good job of 'coming back stronger' P.S - I dont see whats wrong with bumping threads where people, the usual people, couldn't wait to lay into their own club with clearly zero ability to objectively judge the situation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a load of complete rubbish, you were quite clearly talking about this season. You are exactly the type of ‘fan’ that Stuart Webber referred to in the recent podcast, and it really wasn’t a glowing endorsement I might add. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted April 24, 2021 1 minute ago, All the Germans said: Do it do it do it do it. Seconded. I'm delighted to have been proven wrong and indeed bumped up the predo thread a couple of times. I said I thought we'd be in the play-off placings but get honked out in the semis. Which was still a fairly optimistic predo compared to some, but ended up being spectacularly, wonderfully wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,301 Posted April 24, 2021 Yep! the grass is clearly greener when a billionaire businessman with no interest in football owns your club. I mean, just look at all those fans of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham, and Chelsea, desperate enough to break covid restrictions in order to chant their sheer delight at the behaviour of their owners this week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
