It will be interesting if this talk of a new investor / co-owner / owner comes to pass as you would think they will want to see some change in how the club is run.

Even more alarming if Top is the key decision maker when he is not attending all games, is removed from the day to day operation and is relying on Rudders as his football expert

Dyche doesn’t play the football that Top supposedly wants so ,whilst KP remain the owner or even majority shareholder, I think they pass on the ginger mourinho. problem is by that logic you would imagine they are gagging for Martin.

Exactly. Put him on gardening leave, pay his wages until he finds another Club if need be, recognise any pay off in a future financial period. We cannot afford the usual dither and delay and waiting until deep in the close season to make a decision.

Mexican standoff between the manager and Board. Will RVN fall on his sword / walk away from a payoff because of his pitiful record - not likely. At the minute we are witnessing a slow motion car crash - and I don’t see any chance RVN can turn around the squad / fans for next season. Expecting the Board to be brave is probably pointless, we drift on and on. Get him gone.

His being so reluctant to make changes and bring in the youth / move out the likes of Faes who will be going / makes me wonder if RVN is trying to force the Club’s hand into sacking him before the seasons end.

Fail to get a result against Southampton and maybe even the diehards will turn ……..or maybe not.

Agree you want goals coming from various sources and maybe the lad Evans can chip in, with Mavadidi and Fatawu but beyond them I don’t see where the goals come from. The midfield lacks a KDH type for instance. A striker who reliable gets somewhere near 20 is a must IMO.

If we are to bounce back immediately we will need a 20 goal striker, question is have we got the funds to bring someone proven in that league or punt on someone overseas. Daka’s race is run.

We are the pits.

we all need putting out of our misery

Is that 16 odd defeats now? Get him gone! But this group of players are fookin feeble……lets not let them off the hook either. #mentalitymidgets

Wolves - at one point a relegation rival - now 23 points clear. We are the pits.

Pleasing to see the lads have raised the effort levels to try and give Vards a proper send off

If only you could bin the players and manager and board.

What have we learned today? Still shite. Congrats

Several changes. No Monga. Meh

What does RVN expect to learn (for next season) from this line-up (that he doesn't already know)?

Evidence again why he needs to go.

He hasn’t done anything to suggest he should be given more time, so only finances / compliance with PSR could be a reason to defer putting him out of his misery. I imagine they are stalling as once they communicate they won’t be keeping him on they will feel they need to terminate the contract/ rather than placing him on gardening leave until the end of June.

I don’t have a single preferred manager to replace RVN and as before I don’t think there will be one name all fans agree on but, in terms of attributes they need to: 1. Be able to organise a defence. 2. Be a developmental coach that improves players. 3. Creates a team with an identity. 4. Promotes youth.

Thank you will never be enough. The last of the immortals. Build the statue, rename a stand, withdraw the no. 9 shirt and then some. Gutted.

I thought it underlined our need for a Nigel Pearson type (if not the man himself) as Sporting Director. Would love to see him on the pod.

Rumours mentioned in the latest BSLB pod episode.
