Go back down, sell more players and hope the loan and the previous bunch get us up, they do! Sell our best player and try and sign some players (still under the double figures bracket)and most likely because they are the only ones who are in our wage budget (which is basically whatever sky pay us that year). We go back down and basically get rid of all the signings, keep the rest with the losing mentality and an aging Pukki who had blatantly wanted to go before the contract extension. We do actually add in a very good Brazilian player (who won’t be with us next season.) Now here we are, we will be pleading poverty again all Summer, selling players well under what we used to value them at and left with a mix of youth and players with the losing mentality. Webber gets this wrong (with the pittance he will be handed to replace them) and we are in the doo doo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone is quick to forget how bad things got when chase got “chased” out of the club. I don’t understand why Delia and Michael are so hell bent on tarnishing their legacy because they’ve jumped in bed with the Webbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said in another thread. This club was better when 13000 or 17000 were watching when we were top end of the top league. Too many fans are happy to say to their mates that they watch us. They don't really hurt like most of us do when we lose. This was a working mans sport. You had naff all but your football team. The middleclass and intellectuals have now taken the game as theirs. I have no problem with people enjoying our club and participating, but redefining what my grandfather and father worked hard all week for to watch and cherish is hard to take. It seems you can't let off steam with emotions, without someone moaning that you shouldn't be frustrated by your beloved club has performed badly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted April 14, 2023 Yes. There comes a time where a change is needed. Its not a reflection on any previous achievements but a knowledge that the cliche, I've taken the club as far as I can, is accurate. We look stale. No real idea. Thinking because we spent a few bob on some unknowns, we had joined the roster of big clubs. But we were better when we had no money but a good coach.

I do still think there is a team in this squad somewhere, that could have finished top 6 at the least, with the right man in charge. It all still feels like we threw the baby out with the bath water when Farke was sacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,252 Posted April 14, 2023 43 minutes ago, graz said: Not sure he's even the problem tbh. Two managers in a row struggling to piece this squad together. I’m so confused by this comment. He hired both managers. He oversaw the recruitment. Three different managers can’t get these players playing a tune since our last promotion. He carries the can for the last two years as much as he owns the success prior. You’re only as good as your last performance and we’ve been underperforming for 2 seasons. He owns the situation regardless of what happens next he still owns it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
