Can't get over the Marcus Edwards loan to Burnley. It's cost them £750k

Frightening mate

Cannon's £4m profit is not the PSR deal we'd be needing to do, we'd brought him back to sell but were initially open to a loan with obligation on promotion so it can't have been for PSR. If we still need to sell for that reason it's going to require a big profit from a sale like Hermansen or Bilal.

Good

A flurry of loans with options/obligations from overseas now happening. The excuses for this club are now indefensible.

It's going to be zilch isn't it 😂😂😂 This club man, I can't stop giggling.

Brighton forgot Moyes had left and called him up instead of Potters

It'll be Murphy or Brussell

Brian Barry-Murphy is likely the contingency and next seasons manager should Ruud go?

The Norris Defence League alerts will be going off, scrambling around for their phones as we spaaaake.

In regards to Rudkin you are correct as he's got absolutely no track record in this field but many Directors of Football / Sporting Directors vast experience comes from being head of recruitment / scouting previously. What Rudkin should be doing is ensuring the player profiles we go for fit with the culture and identity of our club and/or the manager and potential successors. That is where I am in utter disbelief because nobody can honestly lay claim to how we've gone about this in recent years with evidence of logic. It's utterly baffling. The other thing that I'm not seeing with Rudkin is academy development. This is his expertise, it should be in the top three priorities of our football club, it's non negotiable that a manager doesn't do this. But there's no strong push for this from the outside looking in. The academy works tirelessly at lower age levels but the workings and set up at U18s and U21s has never really seen the investment and fanfare that I'd have expected with a vision and training ground we have been promised. Twice we've had an opening for a new U21 manager and we've just left it to the assistant and in the end they've just quietly carried on with it. We can't be arsed and it shows.

Whilst they ultimately still lost, although that goal ruled out to equaliser was ridiculous, Villa made 4 changes at half time. That decision not to make changes is not a manager who's got the motivation to battle here.

Especially as their seasons are over and you get deals done for them to end the season, have a quick break and then join up early to mid January. Built different we are.

To be honest, it's still more than do-able if they were willing to now negotiate with us.

I quite rightly pointed out last week it would be Winks who would likely be dropped when Ndidi returned or at the very least the one to rotate first. Never been a huge fan of Winks, he's too weak. Has the odd dominant performance but at this level and in this ailing side he's nondescript.

Don't worry we've got his replacement as well who's equally as forgettable in Oliver Skipp.

He's been absolutely unforgivable in a few of these games and cannot be defended. Given the club appointed Brian Barry-Murphy and wasn't a RvN choice I can see what's likely to happen here in the coming weeks. Such a disappointment. Not an easy environment at all but his decision making is astonishing.

Cov will get promoted through the playoffs

😂😂😂😂😂

Instant dismissal for that

I think he has to make a point and make 5 changes, even if that risks not being able to make any further changes. The game is done and he needs to show that will never ever be forgiven. I'd be off to find the chuckle brothers in corporate hospitality at half time as well to tell them to swivel.

Yes

Hmmmm I'm not so sure he is. He offers absolutely no defensive protection nor intensity from the front as he simply cannot run. When you couple that with Vardy's lack of pressing and its utterly tragic. Abomination of a signing.

WHERE'S THE STAUNCH NORRIS BRIGADE TO EXCUSE THAT?

This'll be swiftly rejected then. 😂
