Don’t threaten me with a good time

It’s not confusing anyone, it’s just outright unrealistic.

Are you expecting Cunha to leave for that in the summer? Or feel like you’ll get at least another season out of him? I feel like if richalison can go for 50, cunha for 62 wouldn’t completely put off a Man U or Chelsea

WTAF

They will put in a good word for us with Marouane Chamakh

Arsenal would be a great move for him tbf. Good youth development. Odergaard on a massive decline. football would suit him. I can see it

Hypothetically, if everything has clicked for ruud in this break and we go on a mad run and survived. would this rank as the second best thing a manager has achieved? Pearsons great escape obviously had potential title winners in the club. So surely, this would be the most incredible achievement other than the title win.

As much as we were annoyed to get him, he must also be …. to downgrade from playing with zaha and olise to the shite we have

Any promoted side is going to concede a lot of goals, even the well organized ones, im not sure where there goals would come from currently. Every promoted side that’s survived have had a ruthless striker. they have to nail that piece of business in the summer to have a chance. Wouldn’t say any of the teams in the hunt have that piece of the puzzle. certainly no Toney’s, mitrovics or Bamfords (at the time)

Curious if David Brooks could be available for a loan, possibly with an option/obligation. Farawu/mavi/brooks/ alves would be lovely options for the front 3 behind the striker. I would be incredibly surprised to see Bilal here next season and there really should be no room in the squad for ayew and BDR. Ideally the club moves on mcateer as well.

unfortunately mate, the closest parallel to our ownership is portsmouth

Any idea who we’ve used esc places on in the past?

I still find it mad that he went to notts county in league 2 with Sven. What a weird period in football history. Kasper went as well didn’t he?

Excuse my ignorance but isn’t a work permit a country requirement and nothing to do with football?

It’s no different to Anthony Gordon, came through at a terrible Everton side looked great but then lost all momentum because of how bad they were. Eyebrows were raised when he moved to Newcastle but proved that he was the talent everyone had suspected. His carer, development or anything else was not hindered because he played in that dog sh*t team at all.

You’ve got 2 choices, adapt. or really back yourself in the market. we dont have money and our scouting hasn’t been good enough, so you can rule out bargain gems. Our only option is to adapt. Perhaps someone like Leeds with red bulls backing can throw more at it but most clubs, need to adapt. ipswich made good signings but if I had to fault them it’s because they won’t alter their strategy. They could have made a decent go of it if they tightened up imo.

One incompetent appointment doesn’t make another incompetent appointment any better. we needed better than both of these clowns

I think this is the uncomfortable truth. We hit the jackpot on some of the individuals recruited and then the success allowed us to develop and gave us a chance to grow. I do think that overall owners should be as hands off as possible but when you really dig into it, we’ve been run poorly for a long time. Whilst Rudkin was employed our demise was always inevitable. One failed bounce back and we will fall away from even being a yo-yo club.

£ for £ the worst signing we’ve ever made. musa was shocking but obviously did show glimpses of talent, I can underStand why a scout took a punt on him. slimani, right player wrong time. Silva, mismanagement off the pitch cost him. his ability wasn’t the issue really, even if he was vastly overpriced. but with skipp, everyone knew he wasn’t worth a fraction of it. He’s never shown any signs of quality that we’d need other than running a lot. And we already had players in his position that were clearly better than him. The scout that recomneded him, or accepted that coppers request was reasonable needs sacking as well as the idiot dof who haggled that price. Best case scenario with this season would have been him being slightly better than winks…. What a thing to aim for

Nice lad, tries his best but he’s just not good enough guys. If someone wants him, he should go imo. I want him to succeed but we won’t progress with him in the side imo.

I’d take a back line of curtis, scimeca, Dabizas and thatcher over what we currently have

Just got a new job managing AFC Richmonds womens team.

Fair enough, even so, I don’t think approaching now changes the situation. If he’d prefer Southampton he would be happy to wait. I don’t think he will want to add a relegation to his CV for the sake of it. A few games back, maybe as he may have backed himself to have a go at it. But with our fixtures and point gap, it’s a forgone conclusion. There are more illogical fans then logical ones and even though on paper you can say he’s coming into prepare for next season there will be people who judge him for what happens between now and the end of the season and it won’t be pretty.
