Apologies if in the wrong post. I have been watching the shambles that is the running of our club unfold but we seem to be plumbing even deeper new depths. It looks clear that none of Faes, Okoli, or Souttar want to be here, no surprises there and we really should just take what we can get, get their wages off the books and start over. This should have been done way back in the window, instead all 3 may now leave with no time to negotiate over any replacements, we will just have to shell out. Same goes really for Skipp and Mavididi. A complete reset was always needed. That reset should start from within. Bringing in old seasoned pro's for experience, why ??? bringing in other people's youngsters, why ??? our youngsters now need to play men's football to develop. If we had been in the Championship we'd have been looking to loan then out to League 1, so here's a no brainer play them and find out whether they are going to be good enough whilst getting all the higher earners out of the club. The youngsters that have started so far have showed more urgency and passion that we have seen for several years. We are not getting out of League 1 immediately, so let's build again sustainably from within. By the way, what does bringing in youngsters from other clubs say to our youngsters who are shut out, other than we don't think you are good enough, great management that !

Is anyone else starting to like this guy. We seem to have a manager with a bit of nous. He knows what he has got himself into but is backing himself to make the most of it. It may take a while, but already he seems to have had more of a say in terms of who to come and go from the club. The way he has dealt with ELK is what we have needed from a manager for some time. Let's please get behind this one and give him a chance and a couple of seasons.

How did we not have all of this sorted before the end of the season, so that when Ruud left the building the next one was walking in to sign on the dotted line ? I understand we had to move into the next financial year but that doesn't mean you can't have this sort of thing already lined up. If this is club management no wonder we are in a mess.

So assuming the board always knew they were going to let Ruud go, how on earth was the next manager not ready to sign on the dotted line the same day ??? awful management yet again, we should have been looking at and securing a replacement during the last couple of months of the season when it was obvious we were not staying up. If it is to be Dyche (and I would be happy with that) then surely we could have had an agreement in place so that he was signing on the dotted line on July 1st as Ruud left the building ???

I think we may financially be stuck with Rudd, but if not Ange for me. This club has always responded better to managers with a bit of personality and some backbone, and who are not afraid to tell people the truths they need to hear., and we gewt to win a trophy in his 2nd season !!! Alos wouldn't it be nice to show Spurs what he is capable of if you support him.

There used to be a thread for The Many Faces of Andy King, which was a pure joy, but I think we now have a worthy successor !
