Le Renard

Yep the UK has such a good reputation of independent regulators! Ofwat comes to mind, and don't forget the toothless IPSO, which keeps the newspapers in check. Any regulator where blood-sucking politicians can get involved needs to be well avoided.

Maybe the Maresca bounce has deflated a bit, but he is still learning his trade as a No1 so I expect there to be a few more bumps in the road along the way.

I wondered when the "No plan B" would rear its ugly head as if we knew what a plan B would look like. It is our first wobble and we have only just been beaten by a single goal, and the Championship as we know is an unforgiving league.

Enzo's calmed him down a bit, and he's trying not to do everything. I know it is the Championship but at this moment in time, he's starting to become more consistent and fulfilling the potential we knew he had.

The quality was already there, he just needed to sweep the foul stench away from the last regime.

Yep, you could say that perhaps I should have used" I hoped" instead of " I believed".

A few on here have already made their minds up about Hamza and think he's the worst thing since sliced bread(I live in France and sliced bread is sh*t). I still think and always believed there is a half-decent footballer in there, he just needs to get his head down work hard, and have that little bit of luck, then he can kick on and have a decent career at the club.

I never knew Ndidi was technically this good and we can see a manager actually improving a player. Not the fraud, who told us that he liked improving players but then failed to do so on many occasions.

For someone who headed the ball a lot during his playing career, he breaks the mold of most English Managers, he always comes across as articulate and quite intelligent......unless of course, the red mist descends on him, then we know what happens!

Perhaps we just have seen why Mavididi hasn't really made the step up to the Prem!

TBH you wouldn't be able to spot him in the crowd nowadays, he'd fit right in with all those bald XXXL middle-aged men that seem to be the majority at football matches these days!

If a few people think you are a w*nker, then is that bullying? I don't think VK was a nerd with glasses, he'd probably quite easily fight his own corner, and Madders and Barnes would probably p*ss themselves if he had squared up to them. I think it probably has more to do with the culture of the club, which is why he wanted out. I for one would lay the blame on Rodgers, it was his job to sort these problems out and create squad harmony, but we know he was more interested in himself and what payoff he could get.
