New owners might not mean instant investment or success, but some actual strategy would be nice, e.g. financial management & player contracts, hiring based some form of footballing philosophy/style, having succession plans for players and managers. The current ownership has taken a well run club playing in Europe to looking for legal loopholes to avoid deserved point deductions. Just look at the shambles with the stadium expansion.. Time up for these clowns.

What Rudkin doesn’t know what’s going on.. there’s a surprise

Personally I think most of them don’t care. They’re footballers doing a job, nothing more in the same way we do ours, knowing if someone offered us a better deal we’d jump at it. Even the ones who have been sh*te won’t struggle to get a move that matches or get higher than the current wage. Sadly that’s the market, a lot rubbish who get crazy money for mediocrity on football these days. Top down (no pun intended) what exactly has the club done to make them want to care?

The Irony of two British leaders being of Indian and Pakistani heritage overseeing the potential partition of Britain...

A friend of mine told me part of the issue is the application process before travelling is very very difficult. Perhaps a middle ground should a process that gives people the ability to apply before travelling, if they are approved they are actively moved into a system that means when they arrive they have to work (we have more job openings than people), so they contribute, NI etc before benefits. This should be a non negotiable system set up to integrate people into working/society. For those who fail, or throw away their documentation and come ver they are then moved on (although the Rwanda approach is horrible it might be a deterrent if there's a means to apply prior, as they have no excuse). If you have no document there's no grounds for stay. Obviously there's an admin cost but I'd think it's better than continuously using tax payers money for no return. The other challenge is how we resolve the issue of those already here..

Theres never really a right time, had I happened over the last 2 years people would complain about covid job losses, furlough etc.. (assuming it hasn’t.. not a ST holder so no idea) They should reduce some of the crap like clappers etc, on the donut and beers I don’t know who pays for that, is it the club or the owner as some form of gift. If I recall the idea, is that club is self sustained so reducing so overheads would help, but effectively just like us the cost of running the club has gone up, e.g. electricity, policing etc... so it feels like it’s inevitable. I feel for anyone who seriously has to consider not going due to the price rise but to continue to be more sustainable I guess it has to happen.

Yes.. love you all.. we did It..

Financial punishment only. The fans, players and managers had **** all to do with this .. screw the owners and hit them where it hurts.

Could the government refuse to license policing the games for the big 6? They’d have no choice but to f**k off to the desert or Far East as they won’t be able to play here.

Umm.. the 11 on the pitch have just as much of an responsibility. By no means a walk over but no means impossible. Too many players have been utter sh*te today .. and a senior players at that. Those 3 have been idiots but the players o the pitch should be going out an performing

The met report to the Home Office, the mayor of London has no power, the commissioner of the met (Dick, by name and nature) takes overall responsibility and we know who’s lap dog she is..

A thing of technical beauty

We actually also defended the 8 million corners with some degree of confidence

Perez and Maddison don’t work together .. occupy the same space and there’s no one up top. Get Nacho on..

2020 we’d have lost that. We didn’t win, we were far and away the better side and at times we were all over them.. would have loved 3 points but a points a point and let’s be honest there was a gulf in class between us and them. At times the intricate play was great to watch.. we’re on the up. Take the positives.. also I love the fact we’ve nearly given up putting corners in direct due to how bad we are!

Peno..

We’ve not been terrible, the front 4 just haven’t clicked.. Perez needs to stop dropping deep and lead the line more. We’ve got 5 players who haven’t played much over the last few weeks. Need to give it a bit of time to shake of the rust

Can we count that as scoring from a corner

All for PR.. be interesting to see how strong Villa are for the next premier league game.. Klopp’s being a pr*ck.. playing a strong side to try and take some moral high ground. If one of his players gets injured today he can stick his moaning about games where the sun don’t shine...

The FA should insist the clubs play their fixtures, whether it be with youth team players or smaller squads. the clubs can sort out fines and bans which you’d assume they will do. They’ll get fined by the government which covers breaking the law.

FFS.. we cannot defend set pieces

How do we actually set up defending corners.. why is Under on a striker, it’s insane.. same thing first half with someone else..

Need to take some risks, lumping it up the field isn’t going to get our midfield involved.

Credit where credits due, whatever he’s done he’s brought confidence to the squad and the movement seems to have improved a hell of a lot since last season. We’ve got some great young players playing atm and he must be doing something right to get what we’re getting from Thomas, Fofana and Justin.

Exactly.. I actually don't think it's entirely a bad idea.. If this were a breakaway i kind of feel like people would get bored of it.. the reason Bayern V Liverpool works is because it doesn't happen that often.. also the format would be much more interesting than the expanded champions league.. If there was a way of promotion/relegation that would be interesting.
