I'm glad i'm going to be in a constituency with at least a chance of bombing these inept fools out. Charnwood was always one that I felt would be blue even in the face of Armageddon.

And yet my point remains, we are relying on a loanee and two crocks

Left footed for balance across the pitch. Also when was the last time Justin showed any sort of half decent form and sustained fitness? Our entire full back cover now rests on a loanee and two players that are susceptible to serious injuries.

I’m more concerned about the fact he’s let the manager purge all the left footed left sided cover we’ve got in the squad.

Do we actually have any left footed cover down that side now? Really hope Enzo knows what he’s doing…

Because there was so many individual and collective failures that resulted in the most avoidable relegation of all time.

Marescas strict adherence to his philosophy will either be the making or unmaking of us as it was with Rodgers.

Martyn Glover sorry, getting Martins involved in scandals mixed up.

Says more about Martin Reynolds tbh theres no way these were Rodgers signings.

I'm trying to be kind to him for being not very good at his job. I think with a DoF role in a structure like ours it needs to be a full time focus, he can't do a few hours a day on Leicester, a few on Leuven and then tending to the horses as well. Especially in summer when all 3 of these responsibilities are at their most active.

Agree with when he needed sacking but it also backs up the point that we were so poor for so long a well run club would have either A) Gotten rid of the manager sooner or B) noticed the signs and had a succession plan in place just incase they needed it. They did neither and just buried their head in the sand. @Finnegan made a good point when it came to Rodgers demanding backing and the board refusing to budge but I feel at that point we were too far gone and the decision not to either back or sack him and instead sit on the fence is another sign that we are not a well run club. The best decision they could come up with was just sit on their hands and hope for the best despite the obvious and growing issues.

This method was supposed to work with Slimani, Silva, Praet etc and never did. We should just learn to take the money and run.

Feels like whilst there are some good points being made in this thread there also seems to be a huge of dropping of standards in this because we’ve had a few wins against poor opposition this season. Whilst we might not be as bad as some other poorly run clubs it does not mean we are a well run club either. Being relegated with the 7th highest wage bill in the division is not the sign of a well run club. Letting well over 100m of talent walk away for free is not the sign of a well run club. Letting a manager consistently complain publicly about players, fans, owners and anything else he could think of without any repercussions is not the sign of a well run club. Sacking the manager and dropping points in 2 very important games after an international break because of a lack of succession planning is not the sign of a well run club. Handing out huge contracts to squad players we are unable to shift is not the sign of a well run club. Keeping a DOF in position who is so spread thin across the wider business he cannot effectively do his job. People of course will make plenty of arguments for the above points but the fact is if we were such a well run club we wouldn’t be in the situation we are in. We would not have been held to ransom by players who didn’t want to be here and would ruthlessly shift them on for the benefit of the club. We would have a more balanced approach to contracts and a proper structure in place to ensure that we don’t overpay for players we might look to shift on. We wouldn’t have stuck with a manager who was clearly failing for so long as we’d have had a back up succession plan. A lot of what was required was actually sensible business decisions which is something KP were supposed to be good at. A few wins against some absolute dross doesn’t change any of the above and if i’m being completely honest it doesn’t look like the club have learned much because they are giving yet another manager too much power to dictate everything. If worst comes to worst and it goes wrong with Enzo there will be no back up plan and a new manager will have to come in and essentially do what was failing with the previous manager because he won’t have the tools required to do anything else. This is where we circle back to Rudkin because a competent DOF would be setting the standards and keeping his managers in check but he isn’t.

Might have found their level

He's probably the only player in the squad currently covering for Winks if he gets an injury or suspension so I think we'll be keeping him.

Good move for all involved.

Its fair to say if someone has a good game and rightly so but its daft to be smug about certain players and telling people to grow up when these players have been below standard for a very long time. Players that contributed to the situation that we are in don't get a free pass, playing half decent in this division is now the bare minimum they should be doing. (Legends like Vardy, Albrightion and new signings are exempt).

There's been a collective drop of standards across the board that now a half decent performance against a team such as Rotherham is celebrated.

If he can shift Soumare and Vestergaard for actual money he’ll earn himself a 6 month reprieve.

This is too good to be true.

Hopefully this guy is the one to lift the RW curse.

Enzo has come out and said he dropped the player because he basically hasn’t earned the right to be playing despite scoring the week before.

But he delivered in an actual game. Doesn’t make sense. If the lad dropped a stinker fair enough but he played quite well and scored and he reward was to not even get a place on the bench over Danny Ward. If it were Rodgers more people would be up in arms about it. Its a very suspect decision and its not the first. It feels like the manager is looking for reasons to keep our bench weak. We keep winning but that doesn’t mean there aren’t issues.

Can someone explain to me the tactical advantage of completely dropping a scorer from last weeks game in favour of a goalkeeper he has no intention of playing? I like Enzo and want to keep liking him but dropping a young attacking player so he ‘has to earn minutes’ and putting unwanted players on the bench over him doesnt actually send an overly positive message and is quite counter intuitive.

Can’t complain too much but we’ve not actually turned up properly this season yet.
