Old Fox

You mean back to where we have never been before in our history until KP came along - you donut!! Yep they need a shake and we need a fresh approach but be very very careful what you wish for as whilst they have undoubtedly made mistakes in the last 5 years - they can put this right !!

Dyche for me……no one close to him taken Teams up - kept teams up we need an NFP shake up and he won’t stand on ceremony ……just what we need football maybe a bit uglier but sick of thus soft under belly and woeful defensive set up - he would build from the back and get us up next season - do it now and let him see the shite show for the remainder of the season

What a load of rubbish - total waste of a post! he has had zero service and should have been a squad member not a relied upon starter - he’s 38 and led the line in a team with zero creativity he has been hurting for weeks and knew we were miles away especially under RVN - the bloke has tried 100% more than about 90% of them - his general Leadership has been good and he still has quality touch but never ever gone stretch defences but would have had 15 plus if we could attack and defend as a team. as a club which has completely lost its identity I for one would love to see him kept in some capacity as we need proper winners and he’s about the only one who gives a damn!

With Villa performing and Blues new investment it may surprise a few but BCFC has massive potential - huge catchment and could easily attract 50k maybe the 60k especially back in the prem - it will regenerate the whole area where the land is and watch them invest pre-season - sleeping giant - we will and are being firmly left behind.

Take Brownhill and Keane - both leaders - as long as can ship out vesty, Faes, coady plus soumare

Ideally not - ideally they stay and be part of the future imo - a season in the champs would not hurt their development

Get him in the team to play and stick with it as he will be key next season. He is no worse than Soumare and I know he has been woeful when he played but season is done so try and get him some confidence back by feeling part of squad

He did do his ACL - it takes time to recover and whilst talented we were striving for promotion back to Prem - he will get an opportunity preseason. It might annoy fans but the club have actually managed him back to fitness very well.

At least he would have great defensive foundations here if he joined us 🤔

No Peter Taylor will never be beaten

I think you will be over estimating his net worth considerably after tax etc and amount paid out on costs etc he will not be destitute but will need a career after footy maybe in the media but a swansong in USA makes a lot of sense !

JV looks as sharp and fit as he has done in the last 3 years - his effort and work rate have changed as he has matured to protect his body. He is not only still our best striker by a mile but probably still one of the best finishers in the prem and how Arsenal, Chelsea or United would benefit from him in their squads !! Anyone suggesting he is part of the problem clearly is clueless - you cannot expect him to work like he did when he was 28 and it is very difficult to score goals when you don’t create any chances - the set up of this team and the players around JV are miles off it and he must be scratching his head at how did it come to this in his last year. Age is a number and he would be fine if part of a balanced attack with service and has actually looked really sharp and committed unlike about 15 others so if you want to criticise pick on those that don’t give a damn as Vards cares and is hurting as much as us !

You have clearly not watched him over a longer period of time - we can agree to disagree as he is at best championship level but also he is not a winger - we have a number of average ones of those who have perfected being average as a winger let’s play them ir actually what should be happening is a 3-5-2 or something different where we play WB’s and even then he would not be anywhere near the starting 11 - we need to accept like in the summer our one January signing was a waste of money

We can if we know we are going down whatever happens and I doubt even pep could save this lot! RVN was a ridiculous appointment and is clearly out of his depth but that does not mean the squad is any good - this lot with the exception of JJ, VK (he’s an awful player), Mads and Vardy do not give a damn - a number of them like Faes, VK, Soumare took us down 2 seasons ago and yet we believed they would be good enough to keep us up - no player should go onto the pitch and not run themselves into the ground make tackles and basically play for our club - I have not seen that under RVN at all - we are so inept and passive which is partly set up but also is about attitude and this lot can all do one - we need a complete back to basics and let RVN walk away with a relegation on his record like we should have done with Brendan !

Based upon what ? Some seem to have this fixation to turn a full back into a winger or change their positions - he is a right back and a bang average one - despite criticism Justin is a better play let’s end it there and sadly he is another example of rubbish recruitment

I agree with the he will leave and go on - depends how you gauge success he is rubbish and Thomas is a better prospect which says everything about how we have developed over the last 3-4 years

VK is completely clueless as a footballer I still don’t know what his qualities are and he always looks like a cat on a hot tin roof - even on Friday he showed Mbuemo inside onto his left foot which he promptly bent a shot into the net and stood there looking amazed yet anyone would know that is what Mbuemo is superb at - as for Mavi well he always looks like he is sulking and despite fantastic pace never seems to have a plan - I am with the posts on here we need to do something different whatever it is but we should not be relying on Faes, Ayew, BCDR, VK or Soumare to get us anywhere close to competitive - Vards must look around the dressing room and wonder how the hell it came to this !

We 100% need experience and someone who can build a team capable of going up and staying up - a manager who has experience in doing this and who has an aura of authority like NFP - the most obvious one and has a point to prove is Dyche if he would come and I would snatch your hand off for him leading our football team. We would have an identity that’s start with hard work and organisation plus we would not watch idiots like Faes and VK as he wants proper defenders !

Love to know who you think we will beat as I cannot see a win and whilst I sympathise with RVN he is clueless and limited imo but we were busted in the summer with probably the worst and most ridiculous transfer window ever - Skipp, Okoli, BCDR, Ayew, Edouard made no sense when you add Vesty contract it is nothing short of shambolic

I think that supporters that abuse the ownership for investment are off the mark however it is clear that since Vichai passed we have been in decline. We will never ever live through the times we had but undoubtedly we have and are not performing like we should on and off the pitch - I am not a happy clapper despite my age and currently this is as disconnected as I have felt since the Shipman and Taylor management era. The gap between championship and prem is massive and the 3 worst teams/squads including management are the promoted sides and than less we make a big change it could be a long while before we get back and establish ourselves in the top flight. Wolves, Palace, Everton all have more talent and better managers than us and they have to be the target to stay up in future. We need a reset and investment overhaul which includes being brave and using some youth as this current crop are a disgrace and apart from 3 or 4 who are quality the rest can go. We will want a bright manager who can build a team but with quality investment - haphazard transfer policy will just continue the downward spiral.

Yes I agree I don’t dislike him either but sadly he is clueless as he does not seem to be flexible or know our best team - it’s weird he seems to make so many basic errors - mind this squad was never ever staying up

They were not depleted defensively in fact they were stronger than all season - agreed limited in attack but still probably the best defence in the prem - let’s not twist the truth

Actually he could walk home in Cheshire and stay there !

Whilst I understand the point and Rodgers lost the plot the biggest single mistake we made was letting schmeichel go and we are regretting it now and it will only get worse - we would never have been relegated and would have had a chance to reset properly but tbf BR didn’t decide to let him go !

He bloody well didn’t at Goodison last week - he was a disgrace like Faes, Winks and VK - never bother me if we didn’t see any of them again in a blue shirt …..wishful thinking but how Buanonotte does not get in this pile of rubbish i will never know
