The start of a long abyss i reckon

A massive managerial gamble, coupled with one of the worst squads the Prem has seen. Aka "The Perfect Storm"

He's going nowhere. We can't afford the pay off and whilst the Board are clueless, even they must recognise its way beyond saving at this point. Can only see months/years of further pain sadly.

He'll be starting every week in the Championship come August!

Probably the worst squad we've ever had in top flight. Just appalling

Literally waiting for Uniteds second here. Ridiculous

Why can't we look forward?!

He has a choice, go down with us in abysmal fashion with it on your CV or walk away citing lack of support etc on new additions. I expect the latter but doing it twice in a very short managerial career would equally look appalling. Tough gig for Ruud!

Dyche will be here soon enough, you know it's inevitable 🤦‍♂️

Smacks of all other strikers we sign. Why break the mould. 3 year deal and crying out to shift him in May

He looks the player we hoped we were signing. Sadly, it's going to be for another's benefit as cant see him stopping.

Heavy defeat and no signings, gotta walk surely?

Humiliating defeat at Spurs coupled with no additions should see him walk you'd think.

Most depressing aspect is being mid window and knowing your down already.

This can't be any fun for Top? Whilst running a club isn't necessarily a barrel of laughs it just feels like it's becoming a burden to the family.

Yes!!

Percy suggesting a couple of cheap full backs all were considering 🤣🤦‍♂️

Not a chance he sees out the season. Can see us finishing with a Gary O'Neil type appointment

We're clearly a shambles nowadays. It's spiralled out of control and Top is not the man to build it back. I don't think any of us fully understand how bad things are behind the scenes just the headlines. Ruud regardless of efforts between now and May clearly won't want to hang around.

You just can't imagine us buying from South America. Others have clearly and can bring great success but can't help but feel we have little experience with it and won't like the complexity of their transfers.

Awful atmosphere. Nothing to do with what was happening on pitch as players gave a great account. We're just a very mediocre bunch like most home fans. It's soulless as many are, as did Man City point out at numerous times about their own home atmosphere

Ah right, better retire next year then cheers Jeff 👍

Played older than his years again today. Starting to become the player we thought he was 👏

Fantastic performance and growing each week. Looks a real find at the moment

Certainly see no reason to invest in a backup to Mads when money needed elsewhere. This lad looks a great prospect.
