She stayed longer than anybody sane would have but she was on the gravy train too. As the only business head at the org she certainly could have done more.

“Who will buy us!!!” Presumably these people have never bought/sold a house or a car

Come on then Corky, who would buy us??

Oh god I’d love this so much. We were denied giving Ward any grief, we could get it all out on Rudkin

It takes him half a second too long to do everything

Belgium and the Netherlands would be a superb booze up

Why would you want to work in this environment and be the fall guy for a regime that has no interest in letting you succeed? Everything goes up the chain to the dummies who either dally or say no to everything because it isn't their idea. Begiristain could ask for a job on 48k p/a and they wouldn't answer his email.

What's troubling is we've lost or drawn to most of the teams we have to play already, when we were in better form with less pressure to get a result. Blackburn should be the one place you would want to go needing a result but not with our lot. I think we'll get 3 wins. 2 at home and win at Wednesday, then we're relying on draws which is an awful place to be in. Given we can't keep a clean sheet we're looking at needing 2 or 3 to win, which we are certainly capable of but the defensive balance is all wrong. We have no DMs and barely any CMs. Arribo, Skipp, James just aren't goo enough without the ball as a collective. We should have recalled Cartwright, he's at least combative and not even started half of Falkirk's games. Additionally, what's also awful is we're relying players to get fit to have half a chance too. If Kristiansen and Souttar ever actually get on the pitch we're instantly better off in two positions.

That can be levelled at pro-immigration viewpoints too. Was there no foresight or empathy with immigration policy with regards to the victims of bombings, sexual assault or whatever else? No

It wasn't binary that we needed to be abysmal to transition, Puel was just bad. He did play some younger players generally but it was only really Chilwell and Choudhury. Appointing a non-Puel manager would have had us further along. We finished behind Dyche's Burnley who only came up the season prior!

Puel could muster up a 9th placed finish at best with peak Vardy, Mahrez, Ndidi and Schmeichel - rubbish Lost out an Europa place to Burnley

We’re at Rio of going bust - the best women’s training facility in the country trophy will be no good to us then

We're not going to be able to shift Skipp and Thomas for a fee that doesn't further ruin us PSR wise. If Vestergaard, Choudhury and Reid are on about £110k per week between them that would mean those three cost more annually than the entire wage bill of 11/24 League One clubs!!

It's insane. No CEO, no commercial director, finance director is out of his depth. The DoF responsible for a lot of this gets promoted. We're not cutting costs, we have two training grounds. What have we spent of lawyers over the past 5 years? That must be 7-8 figures. What have spent on the financial facilities on the KP loans and with Macquarie? It ends in administration, as Top does not have the wherewithal to get us out of this, nor does he have the capability to recruit someday that does.

Just incompetence, it could be fixed with a few phone calls to get a company out.

Jesus, offset by them selling better I suppose. They got 80m for Dibling and some random Portuguese player whilst we sold Hermansen, JJ, Ndidi and will sell BEK for about 75% of that combined. Multiply that by multiple seasons and more academy sales you can see why they've kept a better lid on the finances

Even if Belvoir drive can't be sold it's madness to still be operating it. More ground staff, cleaners, caterers, facilities managers, security and whatever else we just can't afford. This ends in administration - Methven's most eprtninent option was that we have to slash our our operating costs but we don't even have a CEO!!!

They don’t even have the agency to do that. Top isn’t here, doesn’t care. We know Rudkin is the least savvy man on the planet. ”Monica” is out of her depth We don’t have a commercial director Who is making the call? Current FD is lucky to be in the position

I can’t share more but there is at least one thing I know of that absolutely needlessly costs the club about £5k a year. There will be dozens of these things

No. Tickets will be readily available

Yeah mostly in years with lower transfer spending and they haven’t had multiple European campaigns.

We should have seen hundreds of job losses already, the fact we haven’t is part of of the problem. He either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about the perilous financial position.

Well firstly clubs in the Premier League spend hundreds of millions, it’s the nature of the beast. But let’s take three highest sales - Maguire, Mahrez and Fofana, there’s about £200m in sales across three players. We are an abysmally ran club but our wage bill is the problem, not our transfer spending. We’re partly in this mess because we didn’t spend enough on fees. Had we spent an extra £10m here or there on players we’d have a much better side - e.g allocating some of the wage bill on actually buying players like Ademola Lookman, now at Atletico we wouldn’t have plummeted like we did. These figures obviously aren’t controlled for number of seasons but - we haven’t spent that much considering we’ve won the league and had 3 seasons in Europe. Especially when we’ve spent most of our time in the PL during an inflationary period. Its remarkable we’ve spent less than Southampton tbh. And as for the surplus line…
