Exactly. Blanket wage/transfer cap regardless or revenue is the only way to go to make it fair. That will never happen because it won’t get the votes due to the interests of the large majority of those voting.

Maybe the clubs not breaching and in the black by at least the value of the player plus wages would have to take them😂 could see skipp end up at a lowly well run club on huge wedge😂 at least that’s one way to get rid of them!

Nothing about America is legit mate.

Meanwhile Wrexham are able to buy themselves up the football league as a Welsh team in an English league system because of clever marketing and an overseas fan base. You can’t make this ish up.

It can’t be Americans. No more American owners in the English game. They are trying to destroy in, and in numbers will create a closed shop with no promotion and relegation.

Did the identity of the mysterious party who remained secret when we got bought ever get revealed? From memory, vichai and top were just the face? iirc we were linked with the how to buy a football club years ago and some other dodgy stuff. Could well be some weird ish going on under the surface.

At least we will press! Not his biggest fan, but was very impressed by a segment he did on MNF a while ago, and am convinced he would have been a better appointment than Dean Smith.

I read it was, apologies.

Weiper is a free agent in the summer. Currently at Mainz. Probably will get much better offers though.

Alfie Doughty free transfer. No brainer.

Apart from a few (mads, bilal, Abdul) and we just need to accept whatever clubs are offering and get them gone, and start again. Build a cheap young squad with young and hungry players. Even if we don’t go up straight away, it’s the way to go.

Because that would be logical, and we are Leicester city.

The only thing I expect and feel entitled to is watching a team being competitive. I don’t think that’s unreasonable. Being relegated on game week 37 or 38 by a few points would be gutting, but also acceptable in comparison to what we have been served this season. We would nurse our wounds, pick ourselves up and go again knowing we gave it a good go, and there would be a bit of positivity knowing that we nearly did what we set out to do. Instead, it’s just been fking embarrassing.

Mark Morrison every time.

Ricardo and woyo need to be the right backs next season.

Makes no difference. Does it really matter how close we are to appointing Russell Martin?

Agreed. Chelsea didn’t help. But we handled it all very badly. even last season we paid good money for players we shouldn’t have - coady winks etc. enzo leaving meant we had to scrabble around for a manager when we didn’t expect to. That led to a poor choice that then influenced our transfer strategy. I still cannot believe the money we spent and what we got in return. Bek was the only sensible buy. Bdcr, ayew, edouard, skip. Ffs. Coulibaly I have actually really liked when I’ve seen him, and feel he could actually be our best option, especially if we are playing wing backs. We are going to have largely the same squad next year. Mads goes, for a lot less than he would have done next season. Bek probably, at us breaking even. Who the hell is buying anyone else? We are terrible. Those players on show tonight were championship players at best.

I’ve always stuck up for KP, and im honestly starting to struggle. I think im warming to change of ownership, not just a new board, dof, head of recruitment etc. as mentioned by many others, we need a manager in the red bull/heavy metal pressing style. what was the German fella who managed in the lower leagues here called? Uwe rosler? I’d even take him now if he’s still about!

If we are paying to get Rosenior back from France, who we could have had for free in the summer, how the fck did we not pay 2m for corberan? The mind boggles. The board is not fit for purpose.

Loads of us remember the day we battered Man City at their place playing the exact opposite of the football we seem to be obsessed with, a style made popular by Man City. Madness. I was there that day, sat on my hands in the Man City end😂

I think even Jesse Marsch would be better than Martin for this very reason, and that says a lot. We need to move away from the style we have been obsessed with.

We’d be fine though because we would actually perform better and with more passion and effort than we have all season, which is the obvious counter argument.

Why are our board incapable of reading the room? Or is it that they do but just don’t care? The state the club is in, the fans need to be on board. Appointing Martin would have a similar effect that appointing cooper had ffs.

Too right. I actually experienced this first hand. Parents were still together but my dad was never around. Served at every conflict, disaster etc from falklands to the last Iraq war, which obviously included Afghanistan. The nights I spent awake wondering if I’d ever see him again… Early one Sunday morning when my siblings were toddlers, my mum took a call from Whitehall informing her that her husband had been taken ill in Sierra Leone with a suspected heart attack, and that the un hospital he was in had come under attack. Harry Winks can stay at seagrave one night a week, or move his family closer. If Vesty is allowed to bring his dog, the baby is probably welcome!

Yep one week full pay one week statutory was what I got. Some jobs you can add annual leave on, but not jobs where annual leave is specified to certain dates. Speaking from experience.
