Stadt

Bought a hose, connecting up and spooling correctly was far harder than it ought to have been.

Pleasing the wickets were spread out today

The Nottinghamshire thing is annoying but fine, it’s close to Seagrave. Commuting from London is taking the piss. The pally-pally players can do what they want attitude from Aiyawatt was fine when the squad was comprised of title winners. Now, the squad is full of overpaid twats who can’t justify any special treatment - if they don’t like it f uck off. All aided and abetted by Rudkin’s crap contracts.

And the most expensive shit team

I can’t see what he could do for Top to sack him. Clearly the worst run in our history(?) isn’t enough.

We don’t have the same level of player trading to bail us out. Likely we have to sack the manager again and surely attendances actually drop this time. Top’s natural course of action is obviously do nothing. Inept little shit.

Tactically it doesn’t matter anyway if he’s getting 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Tactically it doesn’t matter because RVN is miles out of his depth and not cut out for management on this set of circumstances. Tactically doesn’t matter because we’re already down. Not having a go at you, it’s just there always seem to be an excuse for not playing players when we couldn’t be in a better place to do so.

My initial prediction is 70ish points and a play off place. Really depends what we do with striker recruitment. Currently the prospect of Alves/Mavididi, Bilal, Fatawu is exciting, they're too good for that level. Fatawu's injury and BEK playing in a crap side has done us a bit of a favour. Daka, we might as well sell, has a year left, recoup whatever we can for him. Don't renew Vardy's deal. Sign two strikers (Luis Javier Suarez would be my primary target) with Evans/Popov/Richards as cover options. Shift as many of Reid, Ayew, McAteer as possible, one probably goes. Kwame Poku has a year left, too good for L1, right age bracket. At CM/DM, I'd keep Ndidi (if he does stay) and Skipp. Shift the rest including Winks, Choudhury, Soumare. Bit of surgery required here, Niklas Schmidt looks good. Could do with a proper DM that can play a bit too. Braybrooke, Cartwright to provide cover and minutes off the bench. Kristiansnen will go, I'm fine with Thomas starting. Nelson and Souttar(or Okoli if he stays, doubt it though). Shift Vestibule and Coady if we can. If we could cut a deal for Justin somewhere I'd do it. Bozo and Pereira will be fine. Stolarcyzk to start. Sell Mads, pick up a decent young ish 2nd choice. 3rd choice to be a youth keeper. We've spent a villainous amount per minute played on backup keepers over the past 10 years. So something like this New ST Alves/SM, Bilal, Fatawu Skipp, DM Thomas, Nelson, Souttar, Woyo/RP Stolarcyzk Get the managerial appointment, ST and DM signings right and we go up automatically again - I just don't think we will

Wanting to play every week, 20k max elsewhere, here, even with a relegation reduction clause he's probably on close to double.

@davieG Can you put the loss in the topic title please

It's Pravda bullshit, no progress, no reconciliation can ever happen if they don't concede things are ever wrong. F uck them, they deserve abuse and vitriol.

"Profitable player trading" We made a profit on players we were forced to sell because we were relegated, including the 'pure profit' on our best academy player for ~30 years.

Nobody is buying Bilal.

Is the Cherry Tree tied to a brewery? Seems like a freehouse. If they pushed the boat out on the beer it’d be a 9/10 imo

Managers doing fairly well at clubs in a lower division do get their hat thrown into the ring

There’s never a perfect time to play youngsters. 15 minutes here and there will have be far more beneficial than protecting them from a negative environment. If we had Lamine Yamal on our books we wouldn’t play him and he’d leave.

We should just employ people with a good track record in the right roles. No Rudkin, Pearson, Puel, Steve Walsh whoever as a DoF, just go and recruit one with a good track record and background as director of football.

Thomas. He looked better fresh out of the academy than he did after a few years around the first team.

They weren’t in PSR bother

Appointing Cooper and then spending £50m+ on dross all whilst narrowly escaping FFP/PSR charges scarcely makes any sense at all

4 starts, 3 assists.

@Dan

We have an owner that thinks he doesn’t have to do anything and a director of football who thinks he does admin. Really is no wonder we’re so badly ran. Nobody is responsible or accountable for anything

The Market Cat in York (Pivni/Thornbridge) is the absolute gold standard in how to do a new pub imo.
