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.

People on here were creaming over it because he could ping decent long balls in the Championship…

As i typed my last message he has been responsible for another goal, what on earth was that tracking back???

I’ve said it for the past 3 years, at least half of the goals we’ve conceded are because this clown has made a mistake or because he is genuinely not good enough. He wasnt even good enough in the Championship let alone the Premier League. The fact hes still starting is a farce and an utter failure in recruitment.

People on here still defending Jon Rudkin too. We are stuck with the defence that relegated us last time. How on earth can a director of football justify this?

I am sick to death of these centre backs.

I’m a bit concerned at the lack of urgency because if we go down no amount of legal loopholes will save us this time. Its as i’ve feared, no lessons learned and untouchable people who live without consequence have moved even further from reality. Another relegation would be a complete disaster.

Another Jon Rudkin masterclass for his defenders to defend on here I fear.

We still need an entirely new backline but a good result, we just need to start nicking more points now.

Coady howler incoming.

Bilal really isnt fit enough for 90 mins is he?

Soumare key part of both goals… never thought i’d ever be giving him credit.

0 self awareness from them.

Its the same back 4 we had under Rodgers and the same issues. Criminal its not been addressed and people on here still going life and death to defend our DoF.

This line up screams of ‘falling back on experience’ because they have nothing else. I had high hopes for Ruud but hes finished here.

Bigger problems at the club than Van Nistelrooy. When your wing options are Ayew and McAteer theres been a serious failure in recruitment.

Really not surprised. Remember there was a whitewashing of both Vestergaard and Faes reputations on here after last season. Both really not good enough for this level.

Playing out exactly like the Crystal Palace game so far, worried for the second half.
