Alan Paris? Really?

Let’s hope it’s Wrexham then

There has been some shite posted on this site over the years, but congratulations for plummeting to a new level

It’s nowhere near as cut and dried as it used to be that a manager is responsible for recruitment. They should, however, be part of the process given it’s them who take accountability for the performance of the team and the players brought in. I’m actually reassured by the suggestion that Cooper was involved in the summer transfer window. There has been much talk about whether it was right to sack him (given the subsequent performance of RvN), but that window alone is grounds for his instant dismissal. If it was up to me though I’d get rid of the entire team and start again

Not seen a lot of Alves at Cardiff. However to improve our squad next season he only has to be better than BDCR and McAteer. Not the highest bar. Does anyone have an insight whether he’s reached that level?

I actually thought that Skipp was an ok signing as an alternative to Winks, although I thought we'd overpaid by about £15m. I didn't know much about Bilal, but I thought the other signings were incredibly poor from the outset. It's frustrating when people can't see it (Skipp is worse than I expected and I can't argue I called that one), but it's fine to have an opinion either way. What I found even more weird is that people were still arguing about some of these signings being ok when we were about half way through the season. I'm in no doubt now, and with the benefit of hindsight, that the summer window was one of the most disastrous in our history. How we could invest so much money and arguably end up with a worse squad than we were promoted with is beyond me and I'm still angry about it!

Just in case you’d forgotten what a useful Skip looks like …

Well that’s cleared that up then

I was going through the Radio Times and making a note of any films that had a red triangle next to them. Then watching them in my bedroom in the knowledge that there was a good chance they’d have some tits in them

At this point nobody wants to build again with RvN next season so he’s a dead man walking. I’d put him on gardening leave so we don’t have to pay him off in this accounting year. Put Andy King in charge - or literally anybody … and then try and appoint a proper manager at the start of next season

If we can’t afford to sack him then just put him on gardening leave. There is literally nobody at the club who could do a worse job as we’ve already reached the very bottom

Just logged on. Have we lost yet?

If there was a single game this season where it was imperative that Danny Ward wasn’t in goal!!!

Shit - Forest might get Champions League, Coventry might get promoted through the play-offs, whilst we suffer one of the worst relegations in history. Arrrrrgggghhhhh !!!!!!!!

Apologies - just noticed you’d said “or” and not “and”

So a win then

When Wolves beat us 3-0 I knew we were down. It wasn’t technically a “must win” but, for all intents and purposes, it felt like one. To lose it so badly just felt like a turning point of the season. We’ve never looked like exitting the relegation zone since

Sounds preferable to watching us this season!

She’s half way through the Coda!

My personal expectations were quite low. I knew that we were in a financial hole. I also knew we’d lose our best performing player, from last season in KDH, to try and climb out of it. The squad looked pretty thin for the Premier League. All I wanted to see were a few signings that excited me. I was pragmatic enough to realise that they might not be enough to keep us in the Premier League but hopeful that, even if we got relegated, they would help build a solid base for some sort of reset in the Championship. Players like BEK, Abdul, Okoli, Hermansen and Mavididi have all come into the club over the last couple of seasons with various degrees of success. I don’t mind signings like this as, even if they go wrong, it’s an investment in younger players who could genuinely make a difference. They might even find their level after relegation or have significant resale value if they do perform. I’m still pretty frustrated and angry at a transfer strategy that saw us bring Ayew, Edouard, BDCR and Skipp to the club. With those transfers I’m not sure what Top and JR expected. For me it drained any hope I had of a productive season and, as the season has gone on, I can’t think of a time when I’ve felt more disenfranchised in 40 years following the club. There are just too many players now where I have no expectation for them to ever make any meaningful contribution to LCFC - either now or in the future

Good grief! He must be utter shite then! Sell!

Put me on the list. Given our dire form I’ve not watched it for a while now
