Le Renard

The crowd didn't turn in the 22/23 season when we had a squad to finish mid-table. The Irony is that the crowd will turn when everyone can see we're a dog sh*te team. Perhaps that's why it might become toxic, all the hope has nearly gone for now and the near future! I have just come to a calm(ish) acceptance that we're 90% relegated.

I don't think most managers can do something with our defence. That backline hasn't really changed since the 22/23 relegation season. It is no wonder that they look like rabbits caught in headlights at crucial moments, and the scars of 22/23 weigh heavily. RVN needs to find his Huth because I don't see a leader to marshal the backline, Coady isn't that person, he may think he is, but the evidence doesn't seem to lie.

I don't think this is a right-wing or left-wing issue, with FT only representing a certain political leaning. It is a common decency issue about having some standards and not descending into the gutter, which we as football fans find so easy to do. BTW years ago I went into a working men's club, full of hard-core working-class Labour supporters, it was full of homophobic, sexist racist bigots, racists come in all shapes and sizes.

Yep someone is getting some kickbacks, and I don't know who that someone could be.

Top's/ Kingpower's loyalty towards players and those upstairs is good when everything seems to be fine, but once it starts to stink the place out, then action is needed. There has become no jeopardy for the players or staff, Danny Ward shouldn't be at the club for crimes against Goalkeeping, but knowing our powers that be, he'll get offered a new 3-year contract.

I can't believe someone who was partly to blame for the shambolic season of 22/23 is still at the club! Too many of those upstairs have their heads in the sand, investigate themselves, and then find nothing wrong with themselves!

Has Ruud never seen Danny Ward during the calamitous season of 22/23? He should be nowhere near this club, it is obvious the players are shit scared playing with him.

It just beggars belief that those upstairs think this squad is good enough for the Premier League, and Steve Cooper was the cause of the dogs**te we see every week. You can't polish a turd!

He hasn't played all season, and it looked like it. He looked like a headless chicken at times today, but so did many others in the squad. I suspect the poor performance by those around him made his lack of game time stand out even more.

I actually think Danny Ward has PTSD from the season before last, he looks like he's shitting himself everytime Newcastle come within 25 meters of goal

The quality difference is scary and Danny Ward should be nowhere near the club.

There are only so many times you can play 'the get-out-of gaol card'. The team lacks some quality, but it does have heart. Will that be enough?

Men against boys, you can see the quality difference, we are all huff and puff!

Good luck to RVN. All I want is some fun put back into our team; the "joie de vivre" has been missing recently.

He was always the bargain basement choice. As soon as the club turned PSR on its head, he was going to be served his P45; it was only a matter of time. They knew he wasn't cutting the mustard, but it was just about being seen to give Cooper a chance!

We are the Keystone cops at the back, but I think Cooper's negativity is exacerbating the problem rather than alleviating the bomb squad at the back. He has no trust in our back four, hence the 3 DMs, which, in my opinion, invites pressure on our already fragile defense. He was always 4th or 5 the choice and it shows!

Cooper masterclass, the team plays shit for 60 mins, the opposition becomes complacent, then hit them hard.

An "Identity", the 80's was generally kick 'n' rush. If teams are losing they seem not to have an identity, but when they are winning we somehow can see an Identity. It is one of those phrases du jour that seem to be bandied about by pundits these days.

I have been keeping the powder dry on Cooper, but I think I've nearly seen enough, he still has a few matches to turn my opinion around, but I think the writing could already be on the wall. I never understood the logic of replacing Enzo with Cooper, it is night and day. I think we have too many people locked away in their Ivory towers, who still don't accept that they were part of the cause for our relegation. So I don't hold out much hope for Cooper's replacement.

I worked as a revenue manager for an airline, dynamic pricing is applying the same method to one-off events. The tried and tested "it is supply and demand" (a capitalist wet dream) will be trotted out every time. It is only a matter of time before more extreme forms of revenue-grabbing will be employed by the big six, and then the others will try to follow suit.

An analogy of the PSR defence : Technically I got you pregnant and it is mine, but I dumped you in time before it was born, therefore I don't have to pay maintenance.

Give the guy a chance.......for some on FT, that means at least 0 mins. Yes, we all want a bigger name, but who would want to take the poison chalice of Leicester with a whopping points deduction incoming?

I don't blame Maresca for going, we've all been at jobs where we are told one thing only to find that those above were bullsh*ting all along. It's just that most of us have to stay in the job, because we don't earn stupid amounts of money, and can't pick and choose when we want to 'flip the bird' to the boss.

I don't think I will be too bothered if he goes, I like him but I don't think he'll keep us in the prem with the players we have and the lack of signings incoming. The replacement will probably be in the style of a Pep wannabee, or maybe those up above might go for a Klopp wannabee, remember there are only two choices now!
