If he’s got a shred of decency and dignity he’ll resign tonight, absolutely shambolic

Is there much danger of the club raising prices knowing we’re plummeting back into the championship?

Noticed this as well, made me lose it watching. Reminded me of Chilwell against Chelsea in the lockdown season.

Absolutely, completely shows his priorities and where his head is at during the game. How he’s anywhere near the team is beyond me, always been a tosser.

Soumare laughing with Todibo whilst marking him, then witnessing our attempt at defending the corner when they scored the second finished me off. Not an ounce of class or fight in 90% of these.

Great episode again boys, really cathartic. The point around using South American and Sandi leagues to buy players is so true. Take Brondby, where we clearly have watched them at some point, as we bought Hermansen from there 18 months ago. Their 19 year old left back Clement Bischoff was on the verge of a move to Brighton this window for £6.5m, before it all fell through on deadline day. How can we not be all over this kind of deal, yet shrewd clubs like Brighton, who get value all the time in transfers, are? Particularly when ‘cheap full backs’ was apparently all we could afford. If they think he’s good, we should be thinking the same.

Dawson should have been out after the Brentford shambles the first time round. All seems a bit late in the day to be offering Ruud his own coaching staff now.

Feels like it’ll be very intense to throw him in for his debut tonight away at Old Trafford on national TV, no matter how desperate we are.

As soon as I’d convinced myself that the wage saving and having a different centre back was a good idea, it was inevitable that this wouldn’t happen

Kramaric 2.0, how can you sell someone who is one of the better strikers in the league we’ll be in next year

Thanks for the response mate, so we’d be looking at £68 each to see Rotherham at home, with it unlikely we’d make any other games this season.

As many have said it seems the club are willing to carry 2-3,000 empty seats and force memberships than do everything to ensure the ground is full. I’m annoyed to even have to explore it, but what are the terms of a fox membership, how many guest tickets can you buy if one person has one? Home for Christmas and looking at the Rotherham game, but it’s looking like at least £150 for three of us to go to this 🤯

Apologies if this has been shared before. Remembered this bit of writing from Mundial after Conor was loaned to Everton last season. It’s a lovely tribute to his influence and personality, and why whatever views we have on the cost of this transfer will hopefully seem insignificant in May. “You could hear him. Above the punch of the ball and the murmur of the crowd and the yap of the other players moaning at the ref. Honestly. You could hear him. Home, away, wherever. Conor Coady’s voice was the MC, the conductor, and your friend’s dad telling you to get rid of the ball quicker and to stop hanging around the shops all rolled into one. He took you for your first pint, too. It was a voice that punctuated and questioned and demanded. A voice that you got used to; it sounded like home. Football is a results business, a game of two halves, and all about positioning, runners, and duels. Above everything, though, and like everything ever, football is about love. Because love is what stops things falling apart. Because things do fall apart. Loving your job, your partner, your environment. At a football club, a captain has to make everyone fall in love with all of that. At sea, a captain ensures that the ship complies with local and international laws and company and flag state policies. The captain is ultimately responsible, under the law, for aspects of operation such as the safe navigation of the ship, its cleanliness and seaworthiness, safe handling of all cargo, management of all personnel, inventory of ship's cash and stores, and maintaining the ship's certificates and documentation. The transfer to Everton last week might have made sense for results, positioning, and duels. If Wolves are moving to a back four, and if Wolves have decided that Conor Coady can’t play as one of two centre-halves in a back four, then they’re not going to think that Conor Coady can return the results, positioning, and duels that they think they need. But what about safe handling of the cargo? The flag state policies? The seaworthiness? At the centre of a project that involved loads of new people and new faces and new ideas, Conor Coady was an arm around everything. Everything that changed, everything that stayed the same, everything that would never be the same again. Sure, it’s easy to romanticise people you don’t know from afar, but I like to think that Rúben Neves would say the same as Willy Boly would say the same as the chef and the cleaner and the journalists and the groundskeepers. He is what made things get along. Things not fall apart. There’s a reason that Steve Holland, England’s assistant manager, said that at EURO 2020, "My player of the tournament so far is Conor Coady. He's not got on the pitch yet, but on the training pitch, he gives everything; in the dressing room before the game, he speaks like he's captain." Coady scored his first Premier League goal at Molineux last January against Southampton. Headed in a rebound, and the ball squirmed over the line. He went ballistic in front of the South Bank. Arms pumping, eyes wide, mobbed by his teammates. But after the game, he said he was happier about Adama Traoré, who’d been really struggling, scoring his first of the season. Any team in the world needs a player who cares more about others than himself, and as romantic as it might sound, I’ll miss the idea of him in the changing room after games, hugging players who’d missed sitters, bigging up the ones who’d had good games, challenging authority when it needed to be, leaving the changing room and speaking honestly about things to the media. It felt reassuring, for all of football’s deep-rooted problems, to know that Conor Coady was the person that represented your club to the outside world. Football is a results business, but it’s also about falling in love with what people represent. Three at the back or two at the back, there’s a big hole to fill when the sea captain moves on“

Have just moved down to Bristol and wondered if there are City fans down here? Would be nice to watch a game with others who actually support Leicester
