How did we get here? The chanting is an extreme - most fans have a more moderate reaction to the performance of the club and board. Yet just coz there are a few more extreme fans doesnt mean there is nothing wrong - Top is supporting rudkin. Whatever happens this season no one can think rudkin is the guy to reset the squad - so either top gets a new DOF or he needs to look at himself.

No one can think rudkin has the record to be the one to rebuild our squad. Top must get the right guy in asap. If top doesn't do that then he needs to step aside.

It is unfortunate that the word reform has been repurposed....

Away from lcfc, can we look at Norwich City: they have a DOF who has bought in duff players and yet it is the manager who gets sacked.... a new manager may of may not get tune out of the squad but will the board really let the DOF carry on? (This despite having sponsors who are not making money by harming people - unless there is something in Willy's pies). What kind of club allows such a situation to develop.

When there is discontent then there is always a spectrum of reactions. In this case many fans are unhappy with the running of the club... eg. Rudkins role in the squad we have , the board appointing a gambling sponsor or the lack of fan engagement. Some fans might write in... others might chant derogatory things...and a few will call for the death of principals. The club must not make the mistake that the existence of a few hot heads means that the general feeling amongst fans can be ignored. How did we get here? Can Top look at himself?

It is worth a try - we have the squad we have. IMO each of these guys needs a personal coach to review their decision making (clip by clip) and emphasise the good. A sports psychologist might be helpful to each also. WE should practice corners.

I can bring my boots - I am 65 years old but I think I could finish one cross per game

This is satire right? Nurse!

two years back I remember a game where he didn't square it to vardy and put the ball right past the keep - we have not seen that version of mavididi for two years since.

There is an inefficiency between the money spent on players and league performance - this is primarily because of manager turnover. Clubs need to stick with a manager and have a DOF who finds the players to fit the agreed framework. Rapid turnover of managers and buying to meet their "immediate needs" leads to a jumble sale squad at best - and expensive payers who are not played at worst. It all starts with the right DOF, ten manager, then building the right squad over 2 to 4 years. Right now we have no idea where we are going playing wise (or any other wise)

I hear hes getting married. His problem is finding a new club... he is not good enough for the epl but thinks he is. Cant see the wife wanting to go to Europe.

Steve Bruce is available

I will put you down as a maybe

I am jealous of sheff wed fans... they will get a committed new owner

I suspect that pressure in Thailand may prevent top from selling (i hope not)... so we have to push him to put the club on the right track. Imo a new owner would be best for us fans now.. yet I think it unlikely to happen

Agree. If he won't sack rudkin (a first step to rebuilding) then we have to call for him to get out of our club

I have a st. They have the money... abd they count me as attending

But I want to protest.... to call top out

There are two issues... 1) the current performance of the team 2) the medium term need to clear out and rebuild The second is the most important. "TOP grow some balls... sack Rudkin... or get out"

This is shocking

This will be the direction of travel until we can rebuild a competitive squad.... abd that requires rudkin goes.... and that requires top to go

He is not what he was 2 years ago

ITs more the other way round - you can sack marti or keep him (- that's a different debate)... the real sickness in the club is that the squad needs rebuilding and rudders isnt the guy to do it (he is the architect of the currrent situsation) yet Tpp wont sack him. therefor for the longer term we need a new owner who will bring is a real dof.

Marti will or won't fix this...but our real problem is that we dont have a different to rebuild the squad. Top wont sack rudkin...so as new owmer is the only way fwd
