He'd still bag goals and it'd be a little uplift for us all to see him back..  however, it just delays what we are currently supposed to be doing and that's replacing him.. so for me, as much as Id love to see him play in a Leicester shirt again, its a no. We have to use this season to have a complete rebuild as much as possible.

Realistically for Vards with Crem about to drop, a year or two in the states should be where hes looking. Lower standard, money to be had, might be the right time for that off the back of the netflix doc. Good luck to him wherever he goes, but we need to move on

Agree with you on Fuchs. But not Ferguson just not th right fit 

Was just more an example from the apparent options. I think the best bets that Davies if hes interested.

If it was between Fuchs and Ferguson id rather Ferguson until the toxicity dies down. Fuchs isnt ready yet is he and we'd only end up tarnishing his name

Personally..  as much as I love Fuchs.. I just fear with the mess we are in it could just get more toxic and the bond with him tarnished..  a bit like it would've for King if hed carried on longer. 

Best bet is Chris Davies or even Ferguson. They know the division. Someone that'll come in and get thinks sorted and get everyone moving forward again.. id rather someone like Fuchs came in when things were good again.. after Davies has done well and leaves for thr bright lights of Hull or something but the dirty works been done

Ah my bad, missed that about Page! I am hopeful he will stay to be fair. Like you, I assume Monga goes.

 

Jakub like others has had a bad season but someone might see him as cheap back up. He won’t cost much being out of contract next year, £500k maybe? But who knows, he might stay but then it’ll be another out the door for free next year.

 

Nelson similar, professional clubs and scouts will base their views on more factors than had a bad run in a toxic team where everyone was awful so like Monga, I don’t factor Nelson into my thoughts on the squad for next season as he is gone in my view. 
 

Vestergaard and Skipp, it’s easy to assume we’ll be stuck with them and I tend to have a quite negative outlook on this (could call it realism). But agents will be working. Vestergaard might get a 2 year deal in Europe on lower wages but think it is preferable to L1. Skipp more difficult as there is amortisation to consider whereas we could give away Vestergaard for free fee wise. Maybe someone takes Skipp on loan and covers the year amortisation and wages best case? Probably not, at the least we probably subsidise wages. 
 

We definitely need a senior striker. We can’t put that burden on the likes of Hutchinson. Not sure it needs to be 442 if you have wide forwards such as Evans and Alves but I do enjoy the Fryatt/Howard partnership in L1 last time! 

It would be nice to have the option of 442 though. Im sick of playing one way. 4231 is preferable but sometimes you need to be able to switch it up.

Id be glad to get rid of Skipps wages but if we are stuck with him its not the end of the world if we can carry his salary for a season.. he wouldnt actually be too bad in L1. I hope youre right about Jannik. I think the best bet is he goes somewhere in Europe and we subsidise half the wages. 

Youre right about Nelson.. and for a small fee for an English U21 international its worth the risk for someone isnt it I guess. When he came in during the last promotion season under Enzo he did look quality.. im being too critical on him because you cant really expect any young player to thrive in that shite really this year can you. 

Id like two strikers if we can muster it. Obviously the next Vardy is too big a wish.. but someone similar to Dickov and then a Ulloa/Howard type too would be useful.  Sick of these lazy weak 'forwards' of this season

No Page?

 

GK - suspect Stolarcryk will go. Will be cheap for someone.

 

Full backs suspect you are right although would be good if we could move Thomas on.

 

Centre backs - I don’t believe either will be here. I’m quietly confident with a year left, Vestergaard will finally move. His agent will be working on it. And Nelson, I’m unsure where this belief he is staying comes from. He has already proven himself before this season at Championship level, has 1 year left, cheap and young. Clubs would be fools not to pick him up cheaply.

 

Centre midfield is a conundrum. Depends if we play 2 or 3 and on Braybrooke. If 2, what you have out could be right and maybe Page as the 10. If we play 3, with 8’s, Page is the obvious choice on the left. If Braybrooke could be the right hand side, Skipp can sit in the middle if we don’t move him or go for Archie Collins from Peterborough on a free. If Braybrooke sit central, we need someone on the right.

 

Evans once he gets up to speed and Alves as wide forwards looks good. Definitely need a striker but with Hutchinson very much included.

If you read a little further down.. im assuming Page and Monga leave hense not including them .. id like Page to be involved though if he stays 

Wouldn't mind Jakub leaving but I think league ones his level. If I was running a championship side I wouldnt want to bring him in

Fair point on Nelson, hopefully teams just see what he did last year and he stays but a couple of million in the bank wouldnt be the end of the world as Gray would get a shout. I dont share your confidence on Jannik leaving unless we stump up a portion of his wages.. clubs will be more interested in Lascelles surely? How longs he here for?

We have to be stuck with Skipp. Noones shelling out on him. Doesn't he still have 2 years left, so we'd need 10-12m to break even depending on what the actual fee was. 

Yes im hoping Hutchinson is a regular from the bench. I think we'll need a Steve Howard type for league one. Physical league and we will get bullied if we are too lightweight. 

Id be quite happy to do a Mike Basset and go back to 442 myself

But like I said.. I've had enough of it for a few weeks. I'll wait until pre season starts and see the list of names in the squad I dont recognise and just hope for the best .. should be a laugh anyway

We have to, unquestionably, dump Jannik.  We cannot setup with him leading the back line next year. It doesn't matter what division we are in - the problems are the same. Stands on the ball to slow everything down, no pace, no physicality, mistakes, cant jump and has a terrible attitude. We start with Jannik, we are in the proper sh1t as it proves we cannot move on from whatever systems we have got ourselves addicted to. He would be on about 40-50k a week too - we have to get rid.

Id absolutely love to get rid of Jannik. My issue is in order to get rid of someone, you need someone to be interested.

Only realistic way he goes is we stump up a portion of his salary for a year isnt it, and even then someone needs to see somwthing in him 

I think we could make the play offs next season playing 4 or 5 academy players week in week out.. providing we bring in the right players to play alongside them. Players that want to play and will fight 

I think we are stuck with Jannik unless he can find a loan with the majority of wages covered (unlikely) and Skipp! So something along these lines to begin with

                  Jakub

Aluko Nelson Jannik Thomas

          Braybrooke  Skipp

Evans.        New 10.       Alves

                    New CF

Should be enough to compete. I think we'll work with a small squad too so will be reliant on fitness. Im assuming there wont be too much interest in Nelson, in my opinion he hasn't done enough this season to make me want to spend if I was running another club. I reckon Monga and Page will go. 

But if im really honest. Right at this minute I dont actually care. . Quite looking forward to a disappointment free summer of shite football results... oh wait.. England will be playing

Young Mavididi.. overrated

Daka's last appearance at the KP is over.

 

Thank god.

He'll get two more years after that performance tonight 😏

Tbh.. im happy with that as we are already relegated. Aint having them winning games when its pointless when we couldn't be arsed before.. this ends 2-1 Millwall.. Banning stunner

Mavididi awful lazy trip

Cant stand him. Does nothing. Dont make runs.. cba 

Fair play Souts.. deserves that. If he'd played even just ten games we'd have stayed up. 

Aint played in 400 years and comes back with a commanding appearance and a goal 

Outstanding challenge from choudhury .. gets a yellow

Shows you how sh#t we've been this season.. these are crap . Cov are 9 clear and they haven't been great. The league as a wholes been pretty poor standard and we've still been relegated 🤣

Ricky P deserves a decent send off too, he was pure class for us once upon a time and it's not fault he has no legs now. He should play and be subbed off so people can applaud him.

Tbf I have to agree with that. He's frustrated the life out of me this year as he doesn't have the legs anymore and makes loads of mistakes.. but hes still committed and has been great most of the time. So yes id agree with that

On 22/04/2026 at 14:25, Ian S said:

Why can’t we sign James, sign him and basically flip him or loan him out which would possibly cover a large percentage of the transfer fee. If we have the contractual option to then we need to invoke it.

I wasnt sure if we can sign and sell in one window as id suggested this before. Looking at it, others have. So I agree, surely there's a profit to be had? 

But maybe he doesn't like it here .. wants a fresh start somewhere less toxic?

We found out that we are still paying some of Coadys wages. Gonna be the same with Winks.

Definitely.. although with Winks we dont need a fee though do we.. with next year being an extension doesn't that make his psr value zero? Apologies if im wrong 

Starting Winks.. why? He's leaving and we are relegated. Just tell him to fk off Dubai or wherever hes holidaying already.

James should have started and played an hour to get his applauds.. noone thats leaving should be playing today other than James

His contract is up in 2027 right? Hopefully the past few days have been enough for him to push for a move. 

He's got Wrexham move written all over him i think. About the only club that could offer the wages and may be interested

Mukasa

Otchere

Monga 

Id have this.. except I would give James his final appearance and bring him off around 60. Im not a sentimental person but he 100% deserves a chance to be applauded off .. genuinely gutted to not be able to sign him hes been fantastic 

Laziest player I've seen in ages.. worse than Ayew. 

He looked battered after 5 minutes of coming on.. wouldnt make a forward run to open the pitch up when mukasa was on the counter.. kept fiddling with his fcking socks when he shouldve been getting in the box. Dont play him again

But, it was obvious that would be the case and why he shouldn’t have been in the squad.

 

I did wonder if he should have been looked to get rid of him after the ‘we miss you Enzo’ sign. With hindsight now we absolutely should have done.

Id have gotten rid of him that January window after that sign too.

I think for the manager he couldn't win really. He brings him on, hes a villain.. he leaves him out and hes a villain.

Technically hes the best player.. and when he can on he was the best player on the pitch in my opinion so I think it was the right sub.. I just cant stand him

I just think for most of the game the fans were spot on, behind the team and left the protests and booing until after the game in the most part.. I think had they done the same with Winks we mightve been more settled

That being said though, we have conceded goals like that all season.. one earlier in the match so im probably wrong and itd have happened anyway and I do think Winks is a rat.

I hope.. for the next two games we drops all the players that wont be here next year and gives those places to the U21s.. although id include James against Millwall and let him take his plaudits when they sub him off. Other than that, no sentimentality 

Just needs to sell up. He's no idea what hes doing or what needs to be done. He will rely on the advice of Rudkin for the next decisions and he aint sacking himself. He wants to hold on to the club because of his dad but its killing the club.

But us up for sale Top and strike a deal to sponsor the stadium so youre still attached and then leave with thanks for what your family bought us.. but you cant take us any further... before the pitchforks come out 

For me the Winks sub changed the game. I actually think it was the right sub at the right time.. but for me, this one was on the fans. As soon as he came on, the atmosphere changed from upbeat and a little hope to absolute toxicity as they booed his every touch!

I cant stand the little rat and im all for booing him on and off .. but whilst the team were playing in my opinion is shambolic. They immediate looked like they were bricking it anf ultimately fvcked up again 

You've let him know you dont want him there and rightly so.. but hes on and you cant change it.. let him play and then burn him at the stake after

Whilst I dont see us bouncing straight back up, I genuinely cant see us dropping unless our finances get even worse and we get battered for deductions... if that was the case I could see us going out of business anyway.  Such a sh×t show.

I do see your point though. If we struggled with the physicality of the championship it's only about to get harder but I think we will have enough to stay up... how crap that feels to say im confident we can stay up in league one
