Wasyls Pec Deck

This is a business in the private sector!

What I want to see is a protest poster that shows Top as a cow and Rudkin sucking on the teat saying something like ‘Top stop Rudders milking us all dry’ with the R crossed out.

I had a dream last night where Vestergaard rose like a salmon and nodded it in from a corner by channelling his inner 15-16 Huth.

Great work getting to the target. Now the fun begins…!

I live in the South Lakes. I have an STH and it takes me around 3 hours on a good run with a quick break. I must be bonkers!

My mate has got me access to the Treble Lounge corporate fine dining and all you drink champagne from 5pm. I’ll get really pissed and probably not enjoy it as much as I would had I paid £50, but it’ll be an experience. But that’s what football is being increasingly aimed at - those looking for an experience. The occasional fan, the tourist or the super rich. It all just feeds into being ever more disconnected from football. It’s all bullshit and a far cry from when I was introduced to double decker in 91-92. I read recently that Villa have recently done away with 2k season tickets so they can exploit tourist prices. Perhaps you wouldn’t mind as much if the PL shared the wealth down the pyramid but they don’t even do that. It’s all money grabbing and less about nurturing our national game. I realise the irony of me saying this btw given what I’ve said at the beginning.

You beat me to it!

Oh stop it you tease

What is annoying on this subject is that we had a great chance of putting them down. Maddison scores that penalty and we go 3-1 up at half time sends them down and keeps us up. If we don’t waste 2 winnable games on the estate agents (Sadler & Stowell) we stay up. I wish I hadn’t thought about that because it’s made me angry!

I think a lot of us have lost hope, so therefore it can’t kill you!

My concern is that Top has clearly not learnt from the last relegation. That is too alarming to ignore and I don’t believe he’s a strong enough and shrewd enough person to run a PL football club. He’s taken us from being a model club to a joke club. Maybe if he puts structures and good people in place he can turn it around, but I’m not sure he can do that or will. We also need fresh ideas much like we got when Vichai came in. He built a successful empire and his culture, strength and business acumen saw us achieve great things. Top is only his son. We have seen nothing to suggest he’s anything like his father. I think he should sell up.

Assuming that this is a permanent deal it’s very good news that it looks like we are draining the swamp, but given his wages that are well publicised as being high (£70k?), I find it really surprising that we’ve managed to offload him🤞to a Championship side. Unless we are doing a Leeds/Portsmouth and paying a chunk of his wage I’d struggle to see how this would go through. Given how badly we are run this would not surprise me. The other possibility is that he’s had an epiphany and realised what he’s actually worth, but I doubt it somehow.

We’re just a shit episode of EastEnders aren’t we? They’ll get Barry in to sing at half time next.

This bloke is a total tosser. We’re now supposed to forgive a lack of leadership and strategy then? This will only strengthen the resolve among those of us who want meaningful change.

Haha I thought it was recent. As Pearson would say, he must be an ostrich.

Where is this from? Did he not learn the last time? Clearly the answer is no and is not fit to run us. All of the issues absolutely wreak of a lack of strong leadership at the Top. Something you absolutely couldn’t level at his father.

I feel sorry for Ruud to be honest, and at least he has high standards that clearly aren’t being met by many of those around him.

Haha this would be typical wouldn’t it. Sign him and not playing him until we’re in the EFL and we’ve been slapped with an embargo and a points deduction.

Maybe everyone get a clapper and at half time go pitch side and lob it onto the pitch?

Maybe. But interesting you’ve picked up on accountability. Clearly an issue with Rudkin and his dealings as well. So a culture of no accountability - just the ticket for success.

Spurs will wipe the floor with us, and that’s saying something as they’ve got the whole Maddisonesque character problems running through their team like we did a few years ago.

I think the training ground is also part of the problem. I heard Albrighton say that they got treated too nicely and had a false sense of security. Players arrive here usually with something to prove in the game, and they see the training ground and they must think they’ve already made it. They’re being overpaid as well which doesn’t help. All leads to complacency imo.

It’s so bad that it’s almost funny.

Shambles then 🤣

Clearly the lied to/shitshow option is better for him surely?
