Finn Claw II

Sounds like Leeds on the financial side at least are a better managed club!. our clause is probably something like Danny Ward is guaranteed a 5 year extension if he starts 1 game a season

Nice to see some consistency

Don’t mind the Tigers but don’t get me started on the Riders. High scoring games with a high tempo, if only they would pass it around in their own half more.

Its the lack of plan B that worries me, If we go up, I can’t see us staying up with this style of football unless we spend a lot on technical attacking players, a replacement for Ndiddi and at least 2 good defenders We are not about to spend £100m. He deserves a crack at the PL if we stay up but we should be ruthless if after half a season it isn’t working. We also need to do this managing the finances so paying much less on wages than we have,

Just don’t play him, Faes and Vesty. Actual full backs please (even if inverted).

Luck / randomness plays such a part look at Man City they could easily still be in the Champions League and out of the FA Cup. A win is a win. Odd to bench Justin, Ricardo and Doyle. Maybe it’s rotation. I’ve no idea. subs earlier would help!

Perhaps ask the manager to inject or instruct some passion and tempo into the players. Fans react to what they see. I’d rather a mediocre team that cared. In 10 years time I’m fairly certain this will be another set of players that I’ll largely forget. I’ll watch the game tomorrow, if the fans want to sing then sing. Do it because you know right now matters and you care but not for owners and not for the players One of my best away days was at Southend. Football is bigger than the EPL

Looking forward to Soumane being forced to play in the championship next season.

Enzo isn’t going to change his philosophy bu: bring in Vardy and Coady - both for experience and because they will replace underperforming players. High tempo from the start, if we score and then actually try and score again we might win some games. We will create 3-4 good chances (we normally do) so make the most of them.

There will be 2 more games after these 4

But he’s an elite manager. It’s not fair to judge him without giving him an extra £100m to spend. The opposition are not playing fair by pressing and scoring on the break or defending deep

Get him gone but nothing will change until the non football side changes. We’ll bottle the play-offs, bring on a transfer embargo and a few mid table seasons. We will come back without this ‘we are massive’ mentality and show the league some respect a joke all round

4 results out of 5 that are better or equal to Leeds gets us promotion. It’s still a good place to be. 3 points vs. Plymouth would salvage last night somewhat.

By the time we go up (if we go up) our finances will be in much better order. Assuming we don’t splurge £100m on random players on massives wages we also managed to get relegated which is punishment enough, I’m expecting sub 6 points

The £10m was more that we paid decent fees for him, coady, Mads and Winks. Fatawu and Doyle would cost at least that sort of fee to sign permanently also. They all should be good Championship players and they are.

Type of player that will always do something good enough to get you on the MOTD highlights. Deserves a chance to prove whether he is good enough in the Prem, Our signings in general have been pretty good this year. That said £10m players plus should have an impact in the championship,

Norwich is a difficult game, dropped points there would be an added incentive. Let’s just go 4-0 up in the first half and calm the nerves. Simple

This is about right (maybe Vesty goes). You can add Iverson, Stolarczy and Thomas and a few loans

Just isn’t right for what we’ll need if we go up. We need players who buy into a 2-3 year plan of establishing ourselves on a sound financial footing, That’s potential relegation and lower wages if that happens. I can’t see any PL player at a big club wanting that. Why would they? Top Championship Talent and foreign leagues for me.

10 point deduction and a transfer embargo is the sort of punishment I’d expect. if I was the EFL I’d aim to basically keep us in the championship while we get our finances in order. if we know a transfer embargo is coming, we’ll get our transfer incomings done early,

Good job we can sign an emergency loan keeper. If we don’t have 5 keepers on the books it’s no LCFC

The Maccauire loan was to bring forward the fees for Maddison, Barnes and Castagne.

Inflation impacts revenue also… I also don’t think inflation really impacts football player wages in the same way as normal jobs. They can still afford a Waitrose shop - certainly on our generous wages

Whelan has to go, Rudkin has to go. Neither will.

As much as we can hate on Rodgers - he doesn’t agree the wages we pay players or set a wage budget bigger than revenue. Based on the those numbers we had no interest in meeting the FFP requirements - we absolutely deserve our fine. It does take time to correct overspend but hopefully whatever division we are in getting rid of a load more players at the end of the season helps with a reset.
