I heard there's a kid in the under 8's that got a double hattrick the other day, may as well sling him on too

I understand that people want a bit of excitement, but throwing a bunch of 15/16 year olds into PL football is insane. Even Rooney was nearly 17 when he made his debut, and was he very physically developed - most of these lads look like a strong breeze would knock them over, let alone elite Premier League defenders.

If you look at the squad he had, we never should have been relegated - yeah he was one part of bigger problems at the club, but him and the players who were there that season should hang their heads. We were in decline, but he turbo charged it.

No, I absolutely wouldn't. You can't harass people outside of work because you're annoyed with them.

Literally no point in changing manager now, he's clearly abysmal but the players are worse

Genuinely, what's the point? You can put anyone in charge and this bunch of chancers are down and out, doesn't even matter any more.

I don't think he should ever come back as manager, as that ship has sailed - but making him DOF to replace the spineless Rudkin would be a great move.

Rudkin got confused and sacked him after the wrong Brentford game.

Yes this, Man City basically fund most of their purchases now by selling a few fringe players, and academy lads, it's mental. For them, it's fully part of their financial model.

Given how much McAteer actually plays, we'd have been better off just selling him and sticking Alves on the bench. McAteer does less than nothing for us.

Rodgers first couple of seasons were, on the face of it, successful and he was definitely a shot in the arm for us after Puel, Shakey and Ranieri - but you just look at it and you can see in reality he should have done better and the signs that the mentality was crumbling were all there. We were lucky to win that FA cup in his second season, and we bottled top 4 (which would have massively increased our revenue) by losing three of the last four and missing out by a point. That was when the alarm bells should have started ringing. The start of the season after that was when we went into free fall. I remember watching us play West Ham in the second game of the season and we couldn't lay a glove on them, it was absolutely pathetic stuff - displays we've seen all too often since. That was the tipping point for me, but you could see it was coming. I don't think the mentality has ever recovered.

I'd say the warning signs and the beginning of the decline started before we won the FA Cup to be honest

There's probably been worse players, but I just hate this fuzzy haired freak with his face like a smacked arse.

His face just winds me up tbf

Honestly can't wait for us to get shot of this loser, he's one of the shittest signings we've made in living memory.

It was literally just asking a question about his tribunal, so not particularly needy at all? If it's so inconsequential, then surely you needn't reply?

The whole game is screwed - the best you can hope for now is to be the Leicester of 3-4 seasons ago, or a Villa, or a Forest this season. Maybe a jaunt in Europe and a couple of good seasons before you run out of steam, or the big boys pick you clean, or the powers that be decide you've stretched yourself too far. Ironically the Premier League is what everyone aims for, but most teams have a miserable time of it in this league. Imagine being an Everton fan, watching your team circle the drain every season, never achieving anything. Or even the likes of Spurs, kind of thereabouts every now and then, and no silverware to show for it. Both of those two would class their recent seasons as more successful than ours, but we've got an FA Cup to show for it at all at least.

What a waste of a signing he's been - 22 and it's clear he'll never play league footballl

Tbf, if you walk out of your only two jobs as a manager after falling out with the board twice, you can pretty much guarantee you're not getting a job anywhere else, so I wouldn't be surprised if he stays

Get rid of both

Wouldn't get excited lads, this is never happening.

Ferguson is 20 years old 😂 his career is in no way comparable to the washed up fraud Edouard.

Close the Twitter Transfer Rumours thread? Feels a bit extreme
