I suspect he will for tomorrow's game because yeah, the goal drought can't continue.

As I said above mate, the change of personnel doesn't matter, its the overall point he's making. We could play Facundo and Mavididi and people on here would be extremely quick to jump on them after another 2-0 loss to West Ham tomorrow.

Doesn't matter, the squad is pants mate so try all you want, we are easily in the bottom 3 squads in the league and that will be shown come the end of the season in our position. He wasn't backed.

Yeah but it's not because he thinks they're good enough...quite the opposite is why he's picking them. The least of our problems Ruud.

Jordan speaking about this narrative rearing its head where club are using Ruud as a scapegoat is nail on head stuff. Anyone can see he's been dealt a horrific hand, been lied to about funds, and is now sending a message that he stands with the fans clearly about how this club has been run. Why people are vilifying him, I've no idea. If fans haven't figured out that the same thing happened with Rodgers, Enzo and now RvN...they're never gonna get it.

Any danger of reading what he actually posted before you got your back up about "a potentially ageist" post? They explained it well.

Eerily similar name to another Cooper apologist on here...you creating burners lad?

Long before we start blaming it all on Ruud, that's clear to anyone with a brain. Bloke is stubborn but these are the same group largely that got us relegated last time. No accountability. No remorse. No pride....because they'll still get their paycheque.

Sack him, fine I give up. But this shower still plays week in week out.

I'm better than VK.

Just seen a Jordan Blackwell tweet saying Evans is apparently got a "little injury" so no chance of this weekend then!

Spot on. Not sure why people get so hung up and forcing a player to work just because he's on big wages. It was a panic deadline day signing who, by the managers comments, isn't showing anything to suggest he should be given a chance. Whereas Evans is the future so he'd have to be considered first for me.

I mean, I didn't categorically say this was factual, just giving a source for where I found the information. Either way, its anonymous which is better than trying to get an ex PL coach to divulge what he earnt publicly. That of course is unless someone on here knows an ex PL coach well enough to get that out of them.

GlassDoor has PL coaching staff on around 80k a year, so around 6.5k a month. Unsure why it's being talked about "per week" like they are still working with football wage structures. Outside of playing staff, it'll be a per month breakdown anyway. EDIT: Worth noting that this is London based averages so you could argue it's even less than that above.

Funny you mention the fan experience because a lot has come out this weekend regarding West Ham's new ground being a far cry from the Boleyn ground in terms of atmosphere and and general experience and wonder of this will be the same...

Contracted until 2027. We're not sacking someone else with all this guff about PSR. Unless he walks, he'll be our manager next season and I'm fine with that if he's backed. Needs to integrate the kids though and change up the system otherwise I'll be joining others soon.

My word...you can't hide being a Cooper shill can you?. Give it a rest PLEASE.

I find it so tiresome that people are demanding Ruud goes as well. What good is 3 managers in one season going to accomplish? I'm sick of stating that Ruud wasn't backed and you can debate the reasons why but for me it's clear that we overspent on dross in the Summer to support a crap manager who was the wrong appointment from the get-go and now our chickens have come home to roost. Could Ruud change things tactically? Of course. I'm not happy with the line-ups he puts out but other than playing Facundo or Mavididi, there really isn't anything else he can do as most agree the defence is what it is, most options aren't to the level. MAYBE, play a couple kids but at this point if he won't do it in the cup games, he won't be doing it in the league. The players have to roll their sleeves up and fight for the whole 90, no use giving it a good go until the last 10 mins as well! But at the end of the day the biggest problem (as we all know) is the decision making above.

We're down. Ipswich go to Villa Park and with TEN men draw the game. You wouldn't imagine in a million years we'd do that.

Mavididi the scapegoat again. Faes just watching the ball over his head with zero tracking of their players. God forbid we try a sub to change something cause we were soooo threatening before...give over!

Thank you! I didnt know 👍

Where is Monga btw? Not coming on in the Cup, not involved in U21s...wtf are we actually doing?

His attributes suit a more counter attacking system. We don't dominate the ball so both Reid and Ayew are futile.

This is the serious danger with people criticising Mavididi...hes the only exciting winger we have. This pensioner trio aren't doing owt to win a game I'm afraid.

Yeah looks like an extra in Oliver.
