If we’d have had competent ownership he wouldn't have even got one but the problem is any decent manager at the time didn’t want to be anywhere near us because of PSR. It’s going to be a long few years now.

Football fans are very emotional and this won’t be a popular opinion but it’s a fact.

Soumare with Faes closely behind.

Worst centre back in our history. I’ll never forget how many people were all over this lad after we got spanked by Spurs. He is a major reason we’ve been so bad recently.

Hes leaving because he’ll get a lot more money somewhere else and doesnt want a long hard season in the Championship when he can semi retire and earn a fortune. He deserves it and as a club we need all the help we can financially.

He wont be staying in England. Theres a big payday somewhere and he knows it.

The best that ever did it for the club. It does feel like its the right time however.

I would add the Maguire transfer to the list because ripping off a woefully mismanaged Man Utd has made Rudkin think hes some sort of shrewd operator in the Transfer market. I think if that deal didnt happen we’d be in such a better position as a club because the selling tactic wouldnt be ‘reject any first offer because they’ll come back like Utd did you’ll see’.

Rodgers temper tantrum and inability to let go of his own ego is a huge contributing factor in why we are where we are but Rudkin is still the true master of our demise. The Maguire transfer in hindsight has ruined us because now Rudkin thinks he can play hard ball at every opportunity and its directly lead to us losing lots of players for nothing. He should have sold Tielemans and Soyuncu a year or two earlier when it became clear they would not sign also consistently turning fees down for our squad players because he thinks he can get more and then they are still here (Soumare, Vestergaard and more recently McAteer). Currently i’ve got no hope for the future, i think we are in for a long decade at the very least.

Like that run a few years ago against Spurs had half of our fanbase saying ‘theres a player in there’. He’s the worst player i’ve seen play for us with Vestergaard and Faes rounding out the top 3. I know ability wise there have been worse players but at least those players made effort.

The one thing i’ve noticed is that bar Maresca the players have looked unfit under ever manager we’ve had since Ranieri.

I was massively wrong in saying he’d be a success. Get him gone tonight.

I want them to smash as many in a possible now, its starting to get toxic.

Going to be a lot of bans flying around after today i fear.

Chelsea fans sounding a lot like some of us this time last year. Once hes figured out hes easy to counter is Maresca. If managers in the Championship were doing it then it was a matter of time before Premier League managers sussed him out. That being said i think we’d be in a better position if he was still our manager.

We dont deserve it but that was hideously offside and how was it missed? Even without var.

Soumare business as usual and Thomas wont last the 90

Rudkin masterclass once again, probably thinks they’ll come back with an improved offer.

Both. We need new ideas and a complete reset. Its gone stale and theres just no structure or organisation to anything. We need a long term strategy and there isnt one at the minute.

I fully believe the Ryan Bennett signing was the start of the inevitable downfall.

I actually think it should to an extent. With all the issues we’ve had in recent years why was the Conor Coady deal in particular not scrutinised even more? We lumped a fortune on the bloke who hasnt seriously been part of any managers plans and would have been very clear he wouldnt have been the type of profile player Maresca was looking for. The bloke is asleep at the wheel and dining out on the Maguire transfer from way back. The amount of money thats been wasted and hamstrung the club as a result is insane.

I think in hindsight the lack of PSR sanctions will turn out to be a bad thing because by the time the next set of sanctions will roll around we will be in much deeper trouble and it will be too late. We really needed something to happen where this man had to take accountability for how the sporting operations of the club have been run instead getting off on a technicality has just made them more arrogant. We won’t be able to appoint another Maresca and the football league are salivating at the prospect of punishing us and you best believe the PL will want their pound of flesh for the embarrassment we caused them. We are heading for oblivion and it is solely the fault of this man.

You’re not wrong, culture at the club is rotten. Player power has gone too far.

No changes. Thats the sign of a man who doesnt have control of the dressing room.

Actually he highlights them very well because our esteemed DoF decided it was worth sanctioning actual money for this player over more pressing issues in the team.
