  1. Oh, it's a watch. I don't remember putting that on
  2. Two relegations in one season, 3 in 2. Outstanding work from the director of football. Deserves another promotion in my opinion.
  3. They already own about half of the top 50 clubs in the UK, plus lots of other clubs around Europe. They'll have the power and money to force through any votes on the game they want until they end up with a football version of the NFL.
  4. Cancelled my renewal. I'm not signing up for one until there is a major change that shows that the leaders of the club know what they are doing. Plus, it's not going to be difficult to get tickets for a few years, so I don't see the need for having a guaranteed ticket anymore.
  5. Rudkin will never have heard of him, and it wouldn't be glamorous enough for Top, but Dave Challinor has taken Stockport to the League One play-offs, having joined them in the National League. They'd been out of the league for 11 years, and he might even get them promoted 3 times in 5 seasons. But if he does, he'd be taking a step down to join us!
  6. It won't be Fuchs. He is popular with the fans and a link back to when times were good. This regime does not employ people who will be popular with the fans or call them out. They have gradually removed staff and players who do this, such as Morgan, Kasper, and Vardy. It's no coincidence that this team has no fight or leadership. It's what Rudkin wants, so no one challenges him.
  7. There will be some, like the "what does booing achieve, support the lads" group who will never call for change and are happy to detach their experience from the running of the club. They will go to games, clap the players no matter what because "thats just football". And I think the more others boo and protest, the more that group will clap. Winks told a fan to **** off the other, and when he came to take a corner near SK1 he was booed, but it made this group clap more than they would have done. I've thought about making a little one page infogram thing listing all the recent issues to post in response to these people, listing things like the number of managers, £ms lost on contracts running down, size of wage budget, time taken to find new managers, the huge financial losses, players signed and never used, etc. but I just don't think it would register with them. We'll be divided until the leadership sorts thier **** out, or we're sold. Both a worringly unlikely.
  8. They are not going to have a clue who to appoint. This is going to take months. Bournemouth already have their new manager even before Iraola has left, but despite relegation being a possibility for months I bet they don't even have a shortlist of potential managers
  9. Shall we start taking bets on how many days before the first game of the season we appoint a new manager? My money is on 8
  10. They'll do a lap and clap the fans, and most of the fans will clap back at them because "We've been in league one before", "this is our level", "we're a yo-yo club", "look at what king power have done in the community", "remember where we were before king power", etc. etc.
  11. It doesn't matter if we get relegated or not, I'm not renewing for the first time in maybe 15 years. I have better things to do than support KPFC these days, and if I ever did want to go, tickets will be available. There's not going to be a sellout at the walkers for a very long time.
  12. It wouldn't surprise me if he's been told he has to play a certain formation or system because Top once watched a Man City game, and that's how they played. I think the players are down to the manager, but we have such a badly built squad that there just aren't any good options. He only has the choice between Daka and Ayew upfront, and that's on Rudkin and recruitment.
  13. So the organisation changes, but the people stay the same. Isn't there a saying "An organisation is only as good as it's people"? Maybe someone should tell Top! There is also a glaring omission of any mention of past mistakes or lessons learned. And yet I'm still seeing comments on other platforms along the lines of "good news, lets hope the players react to this and start performing". I despair!
  14. I think we need to get to 50 points to have a chance of staying up, that's 16 points from these 11 matches. Only 5 of those are in the bottom half, with a lot of them chasing play-offs. Other than Wednesday all of them are fighting for promotion or survival, and our team have no fight in them. I'm struggling to see where we can get enough wins to get that many points! Away - Ipswich Home - Bristol City Home - QPR Away - Watford Home - PNE Away - Sheff Wed Home - Swansea Away - Portsmouth Home - Hull Home - Millwall Away - Blackburn
  15. I think I'm going to give mine up after this season, got my first one in 94/95. The joy of going has just been stripped away over the past couple of seasons, and it's slipped down the priorities of things I went to spend my free time doing. I've only been to about 5 games this season, and if I didn't have a season ticket, I wouldn't have had any issues getting individual tickets. It's going to take a few years and a change of ownership before we get to a position where games sell out quickly, so having a season ticket I barely use is a waste of money.
