Sauce or condiment? I suppose even Tomato Sauce is a condiment really. I digress. Taxi for Soumare. Off and fox now Bouba.

Mustard.

Reason 9999999 to sack Rudkin. How can anyone be so incompetent?

He will earn a lot of money in Saudi to finish off his career. We could play Wrexham if they go up. Imagine if he scored against us which he probably would. I don't have anything against Wrexham.

He's worked wonders at Hartlepool and Stockport. It's a good shout albeit very unlikely. If he keeps on going the way he is then he will end up managing in the Prem eventually.

If he goes, I hope it's to Saudi, and he earns an obscene amount of money to finish off his career after starting relatively late playing in the prem. I couldn't take seeing him play against us in a Wrexham shirt if they get promoted. It's probably time but not to another team we could play.

You have a point about Rochdale. Very few managers would have been able to keep them in League 1. We can't get any worse and if it gets rid of RVN, then why not until the end of the season. If he has a good relationship with a lot of the Man City youth players that he coached before then he could be worth a look. You could probably make a decent young premier league side out of the players that won't quite make it to the Man City first team. We did very well in the past with that model from Man Utd at the time (Drinkwater, James, Simpson, RDL) under Pearson.

They have turned his dream into a nightmare. Shame on them. Laughing and joking whilst we are getting relegated is sickening.

He's doing a great job at Como, but again, their owners have really deep pockets, and convincing signings to go to live in Como is not a hard sell so I'm not sure how much should be read into it. It would be good to see him do well at another club first. As you say it's probably irrelevant anyway as he's unlikely to leave Como in Serie A to move to us in the Championship.

Didn't he get Rochdale relegated in his only professional job? He did very well either the Man City youth side so might have some player contacts.

Poor man's Rodgers, Rohl apparently can't sign players, which sounds just what we need......Fabregas is only in the frame because he's Fabregas. Another RVN appointment. The owners at Como are proper minted, and it's not a hard sell to encourage players to move to Como, so it's hard to read into anyone doing well there. The sad thing is it's totally believable that those are the top 3 choices for Top/Rudkin.

We had a much better side the last time we were relegated. It's inexcusable. Who could possibly have thought we would stay up? We couldn't even stay up with these same players and a younger Vardy plus Barnes, Maddison, Tielemans, Castagne, Evans, Soyuncu, Ihaenacho, Dewsbury-hall, Mendy and Praet. Is Skipp better than Mendy even or Praet? Sanctioning 25m on Skipp should be a sackable offense by itself. BEK is clearly talented but how can a 20 year old in his first season be expected to create or score many goals? We need to go back to basics and sign players that are going to bring value to the club regardless of whoever the manager is. Managers come and go. A good manager will get a tune out of good players. We need a proper DOF. Letting Rodgers who is a decent coach but shocking at signing players near the chequebook was naive at best (the guy who thought Joe Allen or Jonjo Shelvey could replace Xabi Alonso) then signing Dad's army with Cooper who gets sacked for doing exactly what we all knew he would do is stupid. Nobody else is stupid enough to pay the players we want to get rid of what we do so we are stuck with players with no resale value on mega wages living it up at a 5 star holiday camp who unsurprisingly are in no rush to leave. Top is laughing and joking whilst everyone around him is taking him for an utter fool and laughing all the way to the bank.

True. Crazy.

The problem we have had for years now is that you can only get rid of players that other teams want and who will pay at least the same if not more than we do which is no-one else.

Hopefully the stats wake Top up.
