  1. I know we are an absolutely shitshow, but **** me, what a stupid football club. 

     

    This is a club whose most iconic former player is a whacko conspiracy theorist, who had Rupert Lowe as an owner, appointed Clive Woodward as Director of Football, lose 9-0 in consecutive seasons, have Rishi Sunak as a fan, have probably a weirder fanbase than us, had statistically the second worst top flight team ever and now. At least for all our stupid shit we've won a fair amount of big trophies.

  2. The fallout from this could be really severe should the appeal be dismissed. The manager will surely have to go, the players are already considering taking legal action against the club, they will begin next season on -4, they will receive year 2 parachute payments rather than year 1 parachute payments and will be up against three clubs who should be well equipped to deal with the championship, major sponsors may want to withdraw due to the reputational damage that has been done to the club etc.

    In the context of Celtic keeping their title after stopping a match being completed and refereeing decisions that were objectively wrong, and Man City keeping titles after buying world class players with money they shouldn’t have been allowed to spend - this is an absolutely crazy decision.

     

    Sorry but you can’t defend the rules in a connected football pyramid when there is such a failure to impose consistent and proportionate punishments.

    Which refereeing decisions were 'objectively wrong' in that case?

    Moyes wasn't that bad was he! Hammers fans must be feeling like sh*t now and seeing him turning Everton around aswell 

    Parting company with Moyes wasn't *necessarily* the wrong decision. It did look like it may have been running its course in that final season, as they were conceding a lot of goals. The subsequent appointments of Lopetegui and then Potter does make it look really bad though, I'll grant you that.

    Says "they need help" like it's not within their power to recognise their shortcomings and hire the right help? Bizarre.

    Literally. Part of leading a successful organisation is acknowledging where you're weak and delegating responsibility to people who know what they're doing.

    If anyone says “a few new grounds” they deserve a smack. 
     

    ****ing nothing good about league one. The championship is the pits, league one is the arsehole of football. 

    People look at at, and I'll reiterate OUR ONLY EVER SEASON IN LEAGUE ONE through rose tinted spectacles. We einning most gamed and had a manager and a group of players we could get behind. That eill probably not be the case this time. It's going to be really grim.
