Of course, money is the bullets in the gun, so requires considering how it can managed at a societal level.

But because there is less money floating around, we will have less and less money to spend on stuff. We do of course want things, we want use our earnt cash to get things we want or worse, actually need to have. The fact this is money is being siphoned off due to higher rents, higher bills, increase in food prices, and a myriad of other increased costs, money that is increasing their wealth, it’s cyclic in all the wrong way. Not even sure a wealth tax will even touch the sides in our new oligarchy.

Do not think money is not the root of all evil. It is the fact we have made money the very point, the actual end game, our definition of success. This now means that the wealth is never enough for many, it’s aspirational, and there are no guard rails, no legislation protecting the necessary capital to keep floating around the economy. These few just spend their money buying hotels, supermarkets, your house, car parks, bus firms, medical supplies company, your pension, etc, etc and you pay to use these services, the circle grows, they get richer and we go around again. There are no political colours here, Blair continued the selling off of council houses that the Tories started, Clinton unlocked the blocks on banks that lead to the sub prime crisis. Basically the problem is people, it always is, greedy, grasping, self serving people. Front line politicians are just bankers who are shit at maths. John Maynard Keynes had it right, we have a duty to society, every single one of us. Sorry, will STFU now.

People will argue we cannot not to, but this decision could well be more about what our plans were for this season - did we expect to go down? Is an in season cost in sacking Cooper an unplanned cost which will subsequently impact future plans? Alternatively, as seems inevitable, we have no plans, nor schemes (or hopes and dreams)

The lack of clear tactical discipline and plans this season will send us down. Individual mistakes will play their part, that is not all on Cooper, but he certainly has some element of blame here too. (If a player is crap at something, don't ask them to do it and tactically adapt) But tactically...

Solanke you donkey

Thank God for that, felt sure he would take Facundo off for Bilal!!!

Mav, Bilal and Edouard please Steve

This feckin ref

Intriguing was the plan for that free kick, nobody had a clue what was going on.

Sleepy Steve needs to make some subs

Where are the cards??

1-2 at Tottenham Nope, disallowed

Their bizarre hard-on for so called experience is well know though, and part of the limiting candidate list!

Starting by not mismanaging the club so your are in the financial shite would have been a decent start, that way you have might have had more choice when choosing a manager.......

Not sure why we are trying to go through central midfield in 1's and 2's - seems doomed to failure!

You monster

Ricardo is injured?

@Muzzy_no7 unleash the list.

Fair enough, but if people truly believed it then a KP out thread would equally as hot, no? Seems to me people still believe we are the same club as we were at the height of our success, whereas in reality we have clearly been undone by mismanagement at many levels.

Cooper is the symptom, not the cause of our downfall as it is a far longer running decline, so not sure how pointing to the current incumbent helps.

Are you suggesting no Nation would fancy a sneaky punt at geoengineering to head off global warming?

It is hard to argue we are gambling when we sit where we sit, which is you would assume above the pre-season expectations, but I do agree that the situation has changed massively and I strongly doubt we would have appointed Cooper had we had no potential points deduction, so therefore the only question the board would need to answer is both simple and unknowable. Would changing manager now likely provide a greater point return? Any other reasons remain more intangible or personal opinion based and as long as the togetherness in the squad and the rate of gaining points is acceptable and I just cannot see any triggers being pulled as there is no reasonable cause to do so because Current trajectory, ignoring potential imminent downturn, is acceptable Why incur further costs of more staff churn? However in terms of reasons for a change There is seemingly a statistical bomb waiting to go off and a return to a statistical norm would see us drop points against any simple future projection based on past results this season Related to the point above, the points gathered thus far have been against low quality teams, and this is going to change significantly seen Personal takes The switch away from Enzo's rigorous tactical approach to Cooper's chaos is exceptionally jarring and concerning from a tactical capability perspective Unsure if Cooper is slow of thought or just very slowly methodical in terms of team selection

Anyone remember Harlequin? A failed competitor to Roses and Quality Street

As sure as the Sun sets, the Sun rises and @Happy Fox declares the next game to be the last saloon.
