you think we are getting a new manager in the next few days

Did you give him middle finger, willy puller or just clap him?

Source looked dodgy. Will need comp. Doubt its got any legs.

Its like the head of HR being given the interim CEO position at Barclays. He is nowhere near ready. There should have been an experienced interim installed immediately. Its not like King has even managed any of the academy teams.

No evidence we have even spoken to anyone. Go into Saints game with 0 confidence and an interim manager who is nowhere near the standard. Scandalous they didnt have someone lined up. It was obvious that Marti was failing.

Its the same - no difference at all. 2nd half XG of 0.09 with 0 shots on target. Nothing - no fight, nothing different, same woeful setup. Riccy is terrible, Begovic not the answer

Its just the same. Hes not the answer, and i have a horrible feeling massively out of his depth just as a coach.

Ok. Sorry.

Never a sending off.

Aside from being a **nt, Winks is horribly inconsistent. Would look like a world beater and then play like a cretin. We need to be using is sparingly.

Is Nige a winner? Always felt he was a builder. Teams improve after he goes (certainly in the short term). Still not sure Nigel coming back is the answer. But, i'm struggling to remember what the question is half the time.

The moment where you forget we dont have Barnes / Madders or Vardy still playing for us, and that Riccy is an OAP and if we are to play Aluko he can only replace one of Riccy or Thomas.

We see what King is made of today. He’s had 2 weeks and he’s 4 new players. Yes, he is going to play one of the donkeys, but I want to see a change somewhere. Coming out and playing Ayew based Marti ball will be a disgrace.

100% Take it like a man, dust ourselves down, pull together, and win some ******g games of football. If we had no deduction, we should have been pushing for playoffs. Play as if that is the case. Lets stop feeling sorry for ourselves. Pi55ing me off.

If you are actually Ayew - then it explains your performances.

Cant wait to see Wout Faes return and flap his arms about a bit more.

Oh yeah - i dont deny that. I suppose my view is I dont find appointing Smith horrifying (vs Martin). I agree that there seems to be no skills shown to look beyond such a narrow pool, which is staggering (but not surprising).

I'm ok with Smith. Surprised people aren't really.

'Held talks!' i.e - he picked up the phone.

Source?

Any evidence we have actually spoken to anyone? We are in a relegation fight!

If we had made proper signings at the start 22/23 season and got rid of some of the deadwood, even at a loss, we would have stayed up. Who knows what that would have meant in terms of deductions, but the following season the bottom of the PL was awful, so a small deduction with an ok-ish team was manageable. Just feels to me we've been consumed by fear and buggered ourselves anyway.

Starts Ayew - Kings in trouble. The crowd were singing 'f**king useless at him' after the penalty. No way he starts him. It will have to be Richards with Daka coming on 2nd half. Richards could be an absolute lunatic and not be worse that Ayew.

True. Also, we would need to 15 passes from Vestergaard so a defensive midfielder first, to make sure the opposition can get into their optimum shape first.
