  1. Should have lost. Didn’t.
  2. This will happen regardless. I urge everyone to do a quick google of Turki Al-Sheikh and then ask yourself whether you want our football club associated with any of that. If you think Top doesn't like criticism, just you wait.
  3. I think it will be Turki Al-Sheikh. Top himself said in his interview that the club isn’t for sale, except if a rich prince comes along. He’ll see that as a victory.
  4. If you want something to happen, make it happen. Asking other people to do it isn’t going to work.
  5. I think it would be equally as awful to watch, just in a different way, and therefore wouldn't solve the toxicity in the stands.
  6. I don't feel any anger towards Martin. You know what you are getting with him. You don't buy a dog and then wonder why it only barks. All of my anger is that the decision-makers who thought it would be a good idea. No other football club in the country makes that decision. A year previous he was being called a w*nker at Bournemouth away, and then they decide to bring him in right at time when they needed to get the fans back on board. I almost don't want him to be sacked yet as I'm scared about what Rudkin's contact book will come up with next.
  7. It's such King Power thinking to hire Russell Martin, give him 14 players and then sack him for Sean Dyche.
  8. Rowett was a fire fighter, I didn’t include him. Marti was absolutely trying to instil possession football, he was just really bad at it. It was still low tempo nonsense. He convinced the board that he could do it.
  9. I don’t buy that every style has been different. Cooper constantly spoke about continuing the style of Enzo. Ruud was Dutch. Marti constantly spoke about Cruyff and Barcelona. Russell Martin is Russell Martin. Every appointment has been to fulfill Top’s dream of “playing like Man City”. The club have never deviated.
  10. It needs less threads and social media posts about restarting the protests, and more people doing something about it. We can’t just rely on the same people.
  11. I for one can not see any problems with basing our squad rebuild around players that Russell Martin likes and/or has worked with before. None at all.
  12. I thought our off the ball work was brilliant last night, even BDR. Refreshing to see a team that cares. I honestly think our season may have hinged on whether we kept Page or Skipp. I wonder whether Skipp getting sent off has worked in our favour. I'm still really concerned by a lot of things though. We were very fortunate to go in two ahead at HT and then ended up relying on some great saves by McCarthy at the end.
  13. Should have gone years ago. Shouldn't have got a new contract. Has left for free on a one year deal (who knew they were possible?). For me he embodied the lack of standards and accountability at the club.
  14. You are assuming that it's McCarron doing these deals.
  15. Some promising aspects and it was a team selection better suited to this style. However, it’s hard to be too positive when we have failed to beat any absolutely atrocious MK side. They had no press, no counter attacking threat and consistently sliced balls out for throws under no pressure. We should be sweeping these teams aside. My main concern is that we are now a team of neat and tidy footballers, with little cutting edge. We are going to drop so many points because of this.
  16. This would rank as the 6th highest League One incoming transfer of all time. Cullen is also probably in the top 20 assuming the rumours on his fee are true. He's the kind of profile that we should be looking at, but don't tell me that we are cutting our cloth accordingly for League One. It's promotion or bust.
  17. Really poor survey. People won't know what "digital channels" means and there is no definition of what "use regularly" actually means. Lot's of blanket questions to cover all digital channels, when the reality is that they all have their own unique problems.
  18. I spoke to Daniel a bit after providing those quotes for that article and he 100% gets it. He's smart enough to see through the usual accusations of entitlement or the classic Lineker line of "you would have taken it 10 years a go". One of his questions to us was "Does the loss of connection feel most bleak here, even more than relegations?" which showed that he understood that this is about so much more than results on the pitch. The connection has been lost due to countless other non-football related decisions.
  19. Really odd comments. "We are looking at the Leicester situation and have written to the club for information with regards to the financials. Leicester City FC is a great football club with wonderful fans." “If things go well and both sides are happy then we plan to build the club and put it right back in the top tier of football." "India is a country of 1.4 billion people, we look to build bridges with different revenue streams from merchandising and streaming, which will not only increase revenue but will build bridges with new fan base on a global platform." “These synergies are what is needed. We are also looking for a football venture in Scotland. There shouldn’t be any changes, for example with the strip or the colours." “In my opinion, the best thing would be to take stock of the situation, and invest in the club for better players and also to increase the revenue. I touched on Asia, such as India, about merchandising and streaming, as well as increasing the fanbase, I think that’s the best way forward." “The fans, any fans, whether it’s Leicester City football club or Rangers football club or any football club, that’s the heart and soul, and at the end of the day, we need to build the club to where it should be, which is the top tier of football.” Reeks of someone who doesn't really have much of a plan beyond trying to flog merchandise and streaming rights to India.
  20. Seems highly unlikely given their stake in Leeds.
  21. I’ll have what you’re drinking.
  22. I think it's just the way they display them on the image. EE is the top row of the lower tier.
  23. Charlie Methven didn't value the club at £140m, he valued us at more like £30m to £40m. The £140m came from what he has heard is Top's asking price.
  24. ✅ Old ✅ Little ✅ Recent ACL ✅ No resale value ✅ Likely big wages for L1 He's perfect. It seems we are putting all our eggs in one basket again. It all feels very short sighted. What if Martin fails? What if we do go up? Are players like Burns, Chaplin, Cullen etc going to all of a sudden become quality Championship players? No. We know their ceiling and their trajectory.
  25. It says "View here from Monday" on the email. So we only get to see the sale dates, prices and allocation on the day they go on sale? Shambles.
