Hahahaha don't think so. Stansfield actually knows how to kick a football without falling over it

In all seriousness - if we don't get Rohl he's almost certain to go on and do well. It was a minor miracle what he did at Sheff Wednesday. He walked into a complete mess and managed to turn them into a stable team. won the most points from losing positions in the league so he's capable tactically. His background is in performance analysis and he works very hard preparing his teams according to their fans. Now imagine what he can do with a better squad, more resources and better infrastructure.

Let Dychey break a sweat in peace, ffs

Not particuarly it seems.

When steve owl speaks, there is no doubt

I’m confident for next season even if we lose our two biggest assetsMads and Bilal. There’s genuine talent coming through: Alves, Nelson, Monga, Evans. Defensively we were out of our depth in the Prem, but Faes and Vestergaard looked completely fine in the Championship it was easy for them (still hope they both leave tho). Out wide we’ve got Mavididi, Fatawu, McAteer all proven threats at this level. If Ricardo and Winks stay, that’s two ball players who will dictate the play. We’re still crying out for a proper striker, but even without one, this is a squad that should be top 4 minimum. Not Premier League quality but definitely one of the strongest in the Championship. The club’s not being run properly for years but if we get lucky and bring in the right manager who can restore that feel-good factor like Maresca did early on we’ll be right in the mix.

19 losses from 27 games. Nine consecutive games without scoring a goal at home. We were probably always going down, but the way we went down was nothing short of pathetic. It's not just him, it's the club mismanagement as a whole obviously. Still though, glad he's gone.

I mean he will definitely want to go there. Good bundesliga club with champions league football. Why wouldn't he want to leave our sorry arses. 30+ m would be nice but yeah more like 25m knowing us. Sad if it happens but we have to cash in I suppose

Beyond Tarkowski, McNeil, Lowton, and Taylor it’s slim pickings. His football isn’t enjoyable, it’s not attractive and it won’t get the best out of our young talent. Anti

What works in the Prem is pretty irrelevant right now because you plan for the level you're at. If you can dominate in the Champ you absolutely should. And it’s not about entertaining fans every second what matters more is that the players buy into it. Tanner’s said loads of times they enjoyed it and saw it as attractive football to play

Disregarding last season as I don't think we even had a style and that was part of our downfall. Personally I largely enjoyed Enzo season even though controlled possession can be dull. He got the results and that's ultimately all that matters. If you've got better players you tend to have more of the ball. That's just how it is. Rather have consistent results than a team that pumps it forward and just hopes for a bit of magic

Dyche would be a step backwards. Honestly I can’t think of anything worse than watching a Leicester side play his brand of football. His last promotion was nearly a decade ago and the game’s moved on, and he hasn’t. If we’re moving on from Ruud it's for someone who backs youth and wants them to play with freedom and flair - thats not him. Remember most of teams we play next season will sit back against us. Easier said that done but find a man with the tactical nous (someone similar to Enzo) who knows how to unlock defenses and dominate games. To me that's the sensible route to go down

Unless it's a huge offer over 20 million - don't want to know. We know Stephy delivers good numbers in the Champ.

We should just go next season without any managers or coaches that should sort out any issues with PSR. Players can vote tactics in a group chat

Not mobile enough for me. Skill wise he's good enough but literally has no pace to recover defensively which we've already seen

Wouldn’t be surprised if Mads ends up staying. Don’t think there are as many serious buyers out there as people are making out

Cheers rangers, we're doing a special offer on Conor at the moment. Buy one Conor get one Vestergaard absolutely free

Our guy out here doing keepy uppies whilst the clubs on life support. Proper leadership

This would just add to the problem so I can believe it to be fair. Another aging player ready for an easy life at seagrave with no hunger or desire

A lot depends on how the summer goes and what our squad shapes up like. I took a stab in the dark and voted 4th, I think that' about fair. We might be badly run behind the scenes but we're still a big club in the Championship. I'm assuming we get a point deduction of around 6-9 points and that hopefully we have enough time to claw ourselves into the playoffs over the 46 games. The key is having a manager who will sort out the squad (which is a mess) and get the best out of our young players

We'll decide for you then Jordan. Leave.

Solid summary, sadly if you stand still in this game you get overtaken and that's exactly what's happened. The summer where we made NO signings at all was telling for me. It wasn't just bad luck - it was the result of overpaying for players and giving out inflated wages. We basically handcuffed ourselves with FFP. That was a massive warning sign for me and from them on the decline was rapid. No team can afford to stand still in the PL. The most frustrating part is that we’ve basically undone a decade’s worth of progress. Winning major trophies and being a stable top-10 PL club to where we are now — it honestly feels like we’ve reset back to 2013. All that smart recruitment, structure, and momentum we had when we were the envy of the football world is long gone, and we’re having to start again. It’s a real shame

I've always rated him highly but also understand the practical side his age, wages, and our long-term needs. Genuinely brilliant footballer and a really likeable guy — something you can’t say about everyone in the squad. When he's fit he's head and shoulders above Championship level and if he goes he'll be missed. Probably still got a good few years left at a decent level - best years are behind him now though and he's probably on a big wedge which we realistically need to get off the books. Can't sugarcoat the situation but good luck to him whatever he does.
