Yes. Yes. Yes.

They have the oldest average age team in the division and Rohl was given £5m to spend.

Fair enough mate, edited my comment as my opinion was clearly formed on bad info!

Covid had huge government protections in place to be fair, and I was under the impression that there were some layoffs confirmed last season unless I'm wrong.

Edit - Bad information

Can we get Big Nige in to coast us through to the final game, let him work half hours if he wants, just give us something to celebrate and give him the freedom to make a proper assessment on behalf of the club how we move forward. I don't care if he turns up for an hour a day at this point, just give me some nostalgia to feel good about.

I want Ruud to go, one of my favourite players growing up, soured that as a manager here having seemingly given up. But my gut feeling is the gap is so big to the Championship we will be top 6 next season with or without Ruud. The board need to go, or failing that, Top needs to go. This is very quickly turning into a Mike Ashley's Newcastle situation.

I'd rather sell Kristiansen and convince Thomas to be our #1 next year, we need a huge clear out and Thomas is the least of our worries. Kristiansen would be fine in that league but it depends who the manager is, Kristiansen only sees himself as a traditional wingback, would rather keep Luke of the two but you're absolutely right, he's not done much wrong since forcing himself into the team.

That was absolutely dog water from Hermansen there, flapping all over the place.

Or Fatawu.... or Mavididi for about 8 games...

I don't care how bad he often is, Daka HAS to start over Vardy for the rest of the season. He's done more in about 5 minutes than Vardy has in multiple matches.

Ruud has been quite animated today, I've seen him barking orders and moving people around quite a few times, too little too late but it makes a change.

Thousands of fans clapping a counter attack where Soumare ran from the middle of the pitch almost to the touchline, was offered zero support until bilal arrived, who then ran it straight off the pitch, with zero options offered to either of them. This fanbase is done.

Just read the full exchange with context, I think I might need a beer

Edit, my brain fell out.

It was a plane?

Name another manager in world football who can make a few tactical changes and improve the attack by 300%, I'll wait. 5 more years.

Bilal offered absolutely nothing on that break, was practically marking himself out of the game.

And now people want him to stay in a "player leadership" role, as if during his time here players didn't collectively down tools and put in minimal effort under multiple managers (Not discounting the role those managers played in their own demise) as well as it being well known that him and other players in the past have had really unhealthy direct routes to Top. Absolutely love Vardy, he needs a statue and will be immortalised in our club history forever, but the credit he has gained borders delusional with a lot of our fans, we were lucky to have him, and his loyalty to the club when he could have gone to Arsenal is something we were privileged to receive, but the time has surely come to part ways. The championship offers us the perfect chance to actually replace him and give the replacement a full run. No doubt if Vardy stays he will score 10-15 goals next year, and will probably be taking minutes away from his replacement.

Luke Thomas is the best player at the club

Vardy needed to leave in Summer, it's wild that people want him to stay and guarantee we don't get a replacement for him next season.

Yep, I've been in a weird spot over the last few years, I'm a big Hamilton fan and loved the straight talking approach of Toto Wolff and his role in building Mercedes into serial winners, but I also really like Max, and also like Christian Horner for the work he's done with RB and the sheer amount that they have done for the drivers in the sport. Horners 1 on 1 interview for the Cambridge Union a few years ago was fantastic, it's been a strange few seasons after '21 with the fans being at eachothers throats and media whipping up the hatred so I'm glad to see things settling more and we can just appreciate how good Lewis is on his day and how fast Max is consistently in the last few seasons.

Max is just a special, special talent.

Bo Henriksen is a very interesting prospect at Mainz, they have fallen off recently but he took a relegation bound club in Feb last season to survival, then currently top 6 having lost key players in the summer. Squad depth looks to be catching up with them now, one to keep an eye on if form continues to struggle in the last few games. Can easily see him going to bigger and better in summer though.
