I don’t think it is entirely Rudkin’s fault, but to me our downfall in terms of squad management started with us not selling Tielemans and allowed him to run his contract down. That started a trend and broke from our policy of selling players for a profit. In fairness, it was an attempt by the club to gamble for higher achievements and keep the squad together. But that started a trend of players becoming bigger than the club and letting deadwood remain in the club. The other key decision that started our overall downfall was keeping Rodgers for far too long. Still can’t believe how far we have fallen in a short space of time. 4 years ago, we had a top squad. Now we have barely the backbone of a decent Championship squad.

if this is really about fairness and sustainability, they should put a limit on how much the top clubs in the EPL can spend on player transfers and wages so that: - the rest do not need to pay extraordinary money just to try to stay within reach - more importantly prices generally do not become overly inflated

No…. At least Silva did not do much damage. Faes proactively destroys us.

Thankfully I didn’t bother to watch it. Anyway, surely RVN must resign right now. Or must be sacked. Worst ever manager.

Our biggest problem this season is our CBs. None of them good enough. I like Okoli though but he was never given a chance.

But the problem is, what sort of players are we going to get? Last season, we had a squad full of PL players and other managers used to comment on that. Next season, we won’t. The manager we get will be utmost important to get the best out of whatever squad we will have. Meanwhile, I am going back underground.

I fear this time we will stay in the Championship for a long while. Our squad this time is much worst compared to the squad we had last season.

Worst manager ever. We would have survived if we gave Cooper a chance. Even though we didn’t, we were still above the relegation looking threatening.

I miss Cooper. At least we were scoring.

Ruud still here??

We are so bad now even compared to the beginning of the season when we were 15-18th place. With Cooper, we were always in games and scoring. Defensive mistakes from Faes and Justin were costing us. Now we are completely outplayed, have no fight and are not even scoring at all. RVN is the worst manager ever. He has no idea whatsoever how to play with a squad that is not Man Utd level. He is just using traditional methods and tactics but with a squad that does not suit. Thus, I am the same. Not bothering to watch or anticipate games at all now. So having my weekends too.

He must be the worst ever manager. No doubt about it now whatsoever.

Justin is really turned into an atrocious player.

Taking off Soumare has taken off any spark we had in midfield with his turns and runs. Should have taken Ndidi off. Anyway, it doesn’t matter. We can’t even score.

This time when we go down to the Championship it may take years to come back up. Last time we had a squad that did should not have gone down. This time we may not even be competitive in the Championship.
