This number 26 looks electric. Gerrimin!

But other than that, all very promising!

Spain are a joy to watch generally. Technical excellence combined with intensity and flair.

The zip, energy and pressing from Spain is day and night compared to the plodding, listless, passivity we saw earlier from England.

Nothing like Enzo ball. Pickford pumping the ball 60 yards down the pitch repeatedly would have made Enzo's head explode.

Surprised by the negativity about Vesty. Looked solid and slid in some trademark passes through the lines.

I guess he could help Mads learn how to boot the ball into touch more? Sorry, Kasper!

I hope not, as personally I'm totally horrified!!

Cooper was prepared to put up with all sorts of madness at F*rest, so there is no way he is going to challenge the status quo here like Enzo did, especially as he is in a weak position anyway, given that he's such an unpopular appointment with the fans. Rudkin has shored up his own position even more with this appointment.

He might have changed his mind after today's news!

Nothing shows how low we've sunk as a club than this. Horrific appointment.

Bruce and Wilder have similar win percentages in the PL.

Yes, he's in the Bruce and Wilder camp.

Nothing about this makes me feel remotely positive. It just reeks of a lack of imagination and desperation.

Sadly, you are right, if course. I'm just grasping at any possibility that there is some hope that this won't happen after all.

If anyone from the club lurks on here to pick up the mood of the fans, they can only be alarmed at the overwhelming, if not hostile, opposition to this appointment. It would be great if that brought them to their senses. This is our last hope now.

If you think possession football is boring, wait until you are watching us camped on the edge of our box for 80% of the game whilst touching the ball in the opposition's box about 3 times per game which is pretty much what he served up at Forest.

I'm talking about his PL spell, which is the relevant bit.

Kompany's appointment is an unprecedented outlier based on who he is, rather than what he has achieved.

Yes, despite bus parking for the most part, his Forest teams shipped nearly 100 goals in 55 games.

I don't care what they think. They'd been irrelevant for 25 years when he was appointed so the fact he gave them the only tiny bit of success most of them have seen in their lifetime was bound to make him a hero there.

I was holding out for a last minute change of heart but this looks like it is now too far gone. Deary me.

I don't care what he says, action speaks louder than words. His football in the PL was horrific, as the metrics shared earlier showed.

I think a change of ownership is needed now. Feels hard to write that after the success they've given us but all good things come to an end, and, let's face it, KP have completely lost their way in the past 3 years. Their total mismanagement of our finances in that period could well see us back in league one in a couple of years, given the EFL will take great pleasure in absolutely nailing us after we inevitably get relegated this coming season. On top of that, their continued faith in failed executives and unwillingness to develop the required backroom infrastructure that Enzo was pushing for, is fatally undermining our development as a club. Layer on the fiasco of charging £25 for a season ticket card and ramping up match day tickets to ridiculous levels, and generally being rubbish at fan engagement, and it really is a grim picture.

The atmosphere in the ground is going to be horrific next season. A manager who most fans don't want, playing horrific football, with a team that isn't really up to the required level because we have no money to spend. It feels like we have the potential to be Sheff U levels of bad. Like them, we're also probably going to flog our best player in the close season. Feeling utterly deflated tbh.
