Do managers have probation periods?

i am firmly of the opinion; he is a really decent guy and very honest in interviews far more likeable than rodgers or maresca in that regard makes me feel guilty how quickly i want him gone from my club

reckon he knows it is now 3 points for a win and not 2?

Will always play well individually (I.e. win fouls and hold up ball); but makes rest of side so much worse. Cannot break with a winger so effing slow No idea why cooper loves him

Thought had very good 2nd half; struggled with no one to pass to. Bar Faes and Hernansen; none of our defensive 7 players wanted to touch the ball

The stuff about offside and VAR is pathetic from Cooper. Reeks of Forest behaviour. By all means say VAR is shit and needs scrapping; but complaining about this decision for a week now is just so small time and previously beneath us as a club. Really loathe the fact he is our manager. Just a constant reminder of how crap a club we currently are

For first time club finances appear to have been cleverly managed. Think we would have been fine for PSR purposes whether we went down or stayed up. Barnes sale would have been rushed through to be compliant. perhaps there was a plan (ignoring ridiculous wages and transfer fees we couldn’t afford)

Nope; we had 3 defensive midfielders and 1 defensive wringer today. Pointless signing and not a chance helps us stay up (might help to make sure it’s not too embarrassing)

Lowest attendance for competitive game I can remember since boro in the snow; perhaps I’ve just blanked all the empty league cup games from my memory

Bizarre he doesn’t play. Especially when JJ always looked better playing left back to me; and certainly a better option than VK

Seen enough already. Overweight, lack of ability. Find it so distressing watching him, a reminder of speed and extent of our decline

Our left side is absolutely appalling

Him and BDR are wank, horrible stuff to watch down the left

This is very sweet, and clearly him and not his PR people. Think perhaps lost amongst our justifiable negativity is that for a lot of players they are immensely excited to play in the prem for first time. And they are not a resigned to failure as we think

Fairer play if he didn’t do what he did against Bournemouth and Everton

We got a version of this for current fixtures?

I get that but Lineker is best paid person at the beeb. He can get jobs with walkers partially through his role at the bbc The not declaring stuff is daft from Stringer

Not a go at Lineker at all. But does seem massively unfair a multi millionaire can have several commercial relations and be face of a private company; whilst working for the BBC. Yet a relatively small time journo gets the boot for much smaller arrangements. I understand it’s contractually the case, but does feel very unfair to me as a lay person

Only just realised he was not an academy player. Kept asking people round me who the **** is he, looks like fattest academy player I’ve ever seen

The things that excite you concern me….

I’ll miss the other teams. Remember missing playing the big teams during our long exile. Now have no desire to watch us against City & Arsenal Really appreciate the fans and clubs we have played against this year. Feels far more like football I fell in love with. Where clubs exist for themselves and their fan bases. I’ve really enjoyed being in the championship bubble, talking with mates of other EFL teams. None of the wider media scrutiny and nonsense. Even Sky pundits are far more level headed and normal. Give me Jobi McAnuff over the rubbish we’ll have to endure next year

He was the difference this year. Swap him for Bazanu; and we swap places with Southampton Think he’s my player of the season

How many teams have won more title than us in the last 16 years?

Very different era. Mahrez went on strike but no transfer request. Transfer requests seem an honest thing to do tbh
