It'd need the section to do a mass walk out on 70 mins to get noticed. Any later and it'll just blend in with the rest of the ground Difficult to organise in any other areas. I think today was a turning point though. Just a shame that apparent MOTD and Sky didn't show it in their coverage.

Mohan Carey Willis Coatsworth Never forget.

Amazed that people still watch this garbage. Lineker's final show can't come soon enough. Which rent-a-pundits were on tonight? Murphy and Keown? Or a special helping of Deeney and Ashley Williams? It's a shadow of a once-great programme.

It would be a huge loss of face for him to sell up. No-one knows the figures and exposure KP gets from having this club in the Prem and for him to break ties with that after hundreds of millions spent would be incredibly embarrassing. The links to his Dad's death must also be a huge emotional pull. So replacing the DoF and a few accountable directors to get this club - root and branch - back into the black and doing clever transfer and contract deals again must surely be easier than cutting ties and selling up?

Classic case of someone's value going up in their absence. Lot of people forget he wasn't in the greaest form this season and the balance in the midfield was no better with him in there. Don't think he's ever played a full season for us either, there's always a strain or a tear mid-season. The big problem is we never found a replacement, another failure from the recruitment team.

It has been for the last few games.

Is it you that just called Talksport with this? "Jakey?" Dyche is short-termism. This club needs rebuilding, Dyche isn't that guy.

Pointless discussion. Not something we'd ever know.

I genuinely believe they'd be happy after ten years with the dead men still paying a tenner for a pint in the "fanzone". If a £25 ST tax, financial mismanagement, relegation and what borders on complete disinterest from the ownership hasn't convinced them, nothing will.

Already gets sung

Top has very little football knowledge, has very few personal contacts in the industry that's why Rudkin runs the football side, runs the stables and a few other bits too. He won't move him to one side because he has no idea who to replace him with, he trusts him completely. I'd be amazed if he's even considered the idea. It's a Mr Burns and Smithers relationship.

Maybe watch the game from there too to enhance the experience?

It won't come to anything. He won't sack the guy who runs his life for him and similarly who's going to come in - with top level football experience and run things for him? The last time I joined in with a sack the board chant a lovely guy with badges all over his hat asked me who would run the club with no board Stockholm Syndrome.

And there's plenty on socials who say he's the best they've had since their relegation. I don't see the sense in binning off a player of his age when we're almost certainly heading for the Championship and more than likely losing Vardy. He's clearly capable of bagging a few and his value can only increase. Hard to see us replacing that pocket money signings.

The extension is a different matter, it automatically attracts ST sales and new business but they can't avoid the gaps round the ground now. Top corner of the family club was empty and big chunks of seats now in the main stand. Maybe it's the results on the pitch, the prices or general apathy. But the silence after their first goal was about 20k people expression resignation at the situation.

See them all in the "FANZONE" with the £8 pints and clapping along to the entertainment and you realise how conditioned so many of them are....we may need a double relegation to start cleansing the wound. What I would say as well is that there's no real point chanting against Rudkin when Top is 5000 miles away.

Announced via the Fanzone

Congratulations to him for still being a thing in 2025 though. The definition of a journeyman midfielder.

The positive of that is that they aren't stinking out the starting XI. If they do their jobs the bench is irrelevant. My money is on BDR coming on at 84mins

The demand isn't there? Half the people in the ground for QPR were casuals/part time supporters/ticket borrowers and general sales. Family Enclosure is currently oversold as many that were kids ten years ago are now being asked to relocate as they get older. There's no capacity for new fans and we missed the boat in expanding after the title win. Bear in mind how many people said in 1997 we couldn't sell out a League Cup semi final (17k out of 22k) so why move to a bigger ground? It's the old addage - build it and they will come.

And everyone's well aware that Little without Gregory, O'Neill without Robbo and Pearson without Shakey never quite worked the same.

Gonna have to dig out my "We should get Nuno" shout out from one the multiple "Rodgers Out/who can we get/next manager?" threads from March 23. A few people openly laughing at the time. Even if they miss top 4, even top 6, he builds well-organised sides. They're a mile above our spineless wonders right now, hard as it is to admit that.

Wycombe home. What could possibly go wrong?

I'd start him at RB instead of that useless git Justin
