The football was gash at times, but he has more man management in his little finger than everyone we've had from Puel onwards, combined. If he's still in the dugout, we'd have played the youth by now too. Dumb as it sounds I'd have him back, but only if it meant we got at least two seasons in the second tier to finish the rebuild he started and was on the right path with. We've set ourselves back a decade with the past two windows, we need to gradually rebuild a spine.

The one club he got something approaching enough time to refresh the squad for was Bristol City, who are now having their best season in 20 years. He'd probably still be there now were it not for his ill health. The fans at Ashton Gate seemed to appreciate him on the whole.

Relegation six pointer

How old is this? Macclesfield were liquidated in 2020.

we were in league one once

Double post but it's a different point - Considering I actually want to stay down until we've cleared out the deadwood and built a new spine of players that give a shit, having a cheat code team like Man City there to obviously dominate the league and take away an automatic spot would actually be a blessing in disguise. In hindsight, us coming straight back up before the rebuild job Enzo started was complete has been one of the worst things to happen to us. Blood the youth, see how they do, if we fall short give them time. I like to hope the fanbase will acknowledge and respond to young players fighting for the shirt even if we don't see instant success. It's 100% preferable to having to see half of these wastemen stink up the second division.

It would be exactly what we deserve to be thrown a lifeline by this, only to be beaten to the survival spot by a team that was in League One two seasons ago. We almost handed them the title last year anyway, would be nice of us to finally complete our charity donation to Portman Road. Man City vs Wrexham would be a hell of a TV game, won't lie.

One thing that particularly annoys me about Kristiansen is, he's honestly one of the best crossers of the ball at the club - whips them in low and hard. Been crying out for that for years with pacy forwards who aren't blessed with height. Problem is, he's so shit he's never in a position to do it. Last time I can actually remember him doing one and positively affecting the game was the first game of the season vs spurs, just before Vardy's equaliser. Perhaps it would be a decent weapon against Championship opposition. But i want him nowhere near the team next season, considering he already ran away once on loan when faced with a season in the second tier.

Man Utd have had plenty of planes flying banners over Old Trafford over the years, but I haven't heard anyone tell them they shouldn't because of Munich. And that was actually a plane crash.

Frankly I'd like a refund for this year's season ticket. I paid up-front expecting to see football matches. For the past seven games (debatably more) there's only been one team playing any, and it isn't the one I bought a ticket to see. If people could get their money back after being missold PPI, I want mine back for paying £30+ a pop to watch eleven training cones for the past few months.

Realised on my way home from the Man Utd debacle that I can't make a single home game for the rest of the season. I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's a great idea, I'll chip in. Regarding the one or two who think it's somehow insensitive, forgive me but I must have missed the part where it was a plane that caused the tragedy. As dreadful as it was, I'm feeling more and more like the loss of Vichai is being weaponised by some groups and used as a deflection. It's an emotional subject for all fans, but it actually sits far worse with me when 'KPFC' type fans use it to shut down perfectly valid criticism against the garbage way KP are running the club today.

I live in hope that the club get exactly what they deserve for treating fans like customers. Which is fans voting with their feet and choosing not to come to games next season, because the product is garbage and represents terrible value for money. Calling it now - we will have at least one game with sub-20k attendance next season. Not officially, because of the bullshit way they count season tickets as attending even when they don't, but realistically it's only going to take a poor start for the hangers-on to pack it in and stay home. It's already happening now in the EPL, good luck selling out Wycombe at home on a Tuesday night.

Yeah, this is the worst in my lifetime. I have only vague childhood memories of the Tater Peeler season, but even that only really comparable to the Rodgers relegation - a well-balanced squad built by his predecessor, filled with inferior replacements that ultimately failed with a whimper despite probably being good enough to survive on paper. In hindsight, the lows beyond that Bolton loss only really got as bad as the futile wait for Akinbiyi to come good. We've got that again with Daka, and in so many other positions throughout the side. We're also getting tonked far more regularly than Tater's side ever did. Like others have said, there's zero passion, nobody on that field bar Vardy seems to care. Even the team I saw relegated to League One had the likes of Hume, Howard, Oakley, Kisnorbo, Wesolowski, who seemed to care. And the stats obviously back up how uniquely appalling this squad is. Minus 40 goal difference. Record breaking goalless streaks. It would be causing riots in the stands at clubs less placid than ours.

The last ten minutes, when the 4000 of us left stopped giving a shit and started ironically cheering everything and singing 'championship again olé olé', was the most fun I've had down there in months. Even UFS had given up after the second goal. It's finished. There's nothing to sing for anymore besides gallows humour.

He'll be important next season. He's a Championship standard player. Probably be the next Vestergaard in that respect - a forgotten man who surprises the fanbase by stepping up against inferior opposition. Like others have said, I don't have any ill will towards Skipp himself, just the board for pathetically spaffing what little transfer budget we had on someone of his caliber. He's just the ultimate example of how poorly-run we are, moreso than Reid or Ayew given they cost peanuts in comparison. I dread to think what wage he's on, though. Will not be in the least bit surprised if it comes out that he's in the top 10 best paid players in the second tier next year.

To be fair, Daka has probably been scoring goals without us even noticing - the ball is just ending up in a parallel universe before it hits the net.

Moving soon, can't wait to be 100 miles from this shitshow

Anyone posting team news? Don't use Xitter anymore

First game in over a month for me, normally would be buzzing, today I'm feeling absolutely nothing.

There's clearly something wrong when I'm pissed off that Ipswich are collapsing against Forest. At this point I think I'm actually more invested in them bottling UCL than anything that helps prolong our delusions of survival. God, what a depressing season. The worst ever.

Matt Piper's been calling him out as not good enough for weeks now on the radio. It's very unusual for him to single out players, but it's been a consistent point amongst his (very good) rants and forensics.

Bristol City making an actual playoff push instead of just being nailed on for 12th is a nice surprise. Be a shame if they go up and we go down though, proper good city for an away day.

Would actually make a great spectacle if a group of fans all did it at once with the same book, cover clearly visible for the cameras. Any ideas of which book to use?
