Not sure I've ever dreaded the next 2 seasons before.

It's harrowing to watch that. It's not fair to blame our club's current predicament on one man, but imagine if we'd kept Kasper, or properly replaced him.

Dear God. I saw the name and reluctantly accepted that this is the kind of bargain bin deal we'll have to settle for. Then I saw the money. And you just know it could happen.

Dude we're trying to escape to the glory days here!!! This 5-3 game. I don't think I've ever left a stadium so giddy with joy. I could've died on the spot and been happy. Luckily I didn't!

If it's enough to avoid a points deduction then we have to get it done.

Beggars can't be choosers. A real shame because there is actually so much decent choice out there as well.

Nah I genuinely think he's evil. I've not dreamt up any of those things. He's at the very least allowed them.

Are you for real? Rwanda scheme that breaches human rights? Not evil?! Allowing shit to be pumped into our waters? Allowing the rich to get richer and avoid tax, whilst millions spiral into poverty? Making hundreds of thousands per week, with a billionaire wife who has murky Russian ties.? If you made him up as a Bond villain you'd say it was unrealistic

I though Sunak delivered some moments quite well, but when you know he's lying through his teeth, it's genuinely quite frightening to see how convincingly he does it. He is evil to the core. Starmer did ok but missed some open goals. I guess he simply has to highlight the last 14 years of chaos, given there's been so much of it, but the obvious desire not to talk too much about his own policies was frustrating, especially when there's some good ones knocking about.

Labour is boring tbf

Not sure it looks great to prospective replacements, nor the players who worshipped the ground he walked on. Fofana and Drinkwater and Chillwell did the same, when we were a far better run club, and we didn't have a public temper tantrum then.

Salty from the club. No manager is gonna say no to Chelsea when they've just been managing in a lower division. Plus we've no money, batshit hierarchy and an impending points deduction. Hardly tempting.

Is Ricardo not out of contract?

At least this isn't a difficult one for us. In the past (Praet) or with Soumare now, it's been hard to haggle a good deal. Here we have a good player, who a team with money want, and a deal has been pre agreed. So they can agree to that deal or feck off. Even our owners will see this for what it is.

I think people are overestimating our appeal here. We've half a squad, a ridiculous wage bill, minimal funds to fix the team and a huge points deduction incoming. People shunning the likes of Potter and Moyes could end up really underwhelmed I fear.

Most annoying thing about this is how perfect Fofana will be in his system. I can't begrudge him making the move. He did a good job here, saved us total obliteration after 2 useless managers set us on a downward spiral. I also think his system would've seen us taking a fair few spankings. I certainly didn't want him to go but if we can attract a Potter or Moyes then I'll be really happy with it all.

RVN feels a bit too raw for me at the mo. I don't mind a gamble but this feels as much about the name as anything else. His record as a player is irrelevant and shouldn't be a talking point at all really.

No but Enzo not only got the best out of him but also through a style of play that didn't crock him every few weeks

Reckon Ricardo might end up joining him now. Massive loss for us either way. Don't see him staying anyway.

Depends on replacement and points deduction. But potentially very deflated!

Would happily keep

Just don't fuxk up the replacement, please. So many decent managers available. But are we an attractive proposition at the mo?

Be a shame not to see how he would develop the side in the prem, but there are plenty of good mangers available. Just have to pray the club are prepared...

I'd pay £10m happily. Or work in Cannon into a deal. He'll succeed in the prem, I'm pretty certain.

Hopefully Norwich. The weakest of the 4. But fine as long as it's not Leeds. Shame Norwich and West Brom swapped on the last day as I think the alternative fixtures would've suited them both better. Reckon Leeds will scrape through.
