Shhhhh. We've already put West Ham off Faes don't curse it.

He's going to end up like the gangly school loser who gets picked last by the captains in PE and then shoved in goal. His ego must be deflating at this point. He either needs to drop his wage demands or sack his agent.

Was the last time we did a loan back the Alan Smith to Arsenal deal? It's such a rare thing these days.

This the one I feared and with Dorsett saying it's on it may just get sneaked through. Losing Page and keeping Faes ..... 😭

It's all got to be domino effect here. They don't need OHora if Faes or Okoli are staying. They won't want the extra wage. Hopefully means one or both of the others are going.

Last time I looked we'd lost ten already between loans and sales, about as many as the full squad. I don't think anyone that's already featured in the league will go now. Page will be on a few radars but his lack of game time under Rowett and Cif last season means a few will still see him as an unproven risk. If we're only getting one maybe two more in we'll need the youth to bulk out the squad.

If you check his socials, he's spent most of the last two summers working with coaches on touch and finish. I wasn't expecting him to start every game but he could've got 20-odd games here, especially in the cups. From what I've seen of this league he's more than capable of bagging a few at this level.

In: O'Hora & Riis Out: Mavididi & Okoli (both loans) We're getting stuck with Faes, like a grainy turd in the deep treads of a walking boot.

A decent agent will tell him to do the Morgan Rodgers thing - make your name in a lower league, build yourself up and be the main guy. A terrible agent will have him joining a Super League 6 reserve side and getting shitloads of cash but 4 Carabao appearances before being farmed out to Bristol City on loan.

In theory when he came through in 2017/18 he should have been the Kante/Ndidi understudy and replacement but he lost his way under Rodgers, screwed up whenever he got a chance and that last contract extension ensured he was rewarded for mediocrity. A classic lesson in what happens to young players when you blow smoke up their arse and give them too much too soon. 50k a week for a player who averages 10 starts a season in the past decade. Rudkin Masterclass.

People moaning because people are moaning. We've won 18 of our last 87 games. We're heading for the bottom 4 in LEAGUE ONE. So & so played well.....we had xx possession doesn't matter. This club is spiralling. I don't happen to agree with individuals getting booed at this stage, especially the younger players we've been desperate to see get a chance, but I totally understand the frustration. If you're happy to clap another week without a win fine, but have a broad enough mind to recognise it's not good enough for a lot of people.

Hope he becomes a cult figure like Jari Rantenen, in fact gerrim on the pitch next week with Birch to talk about the new guy

We look at him and see a guy with 120 appearances in 11 years since turning pro. Poor decisions on and off the pitch, terrible positional sense and apart from "he gives 100%" has very little else to his game. A bit like Luke Thomas, multiple loan spells and no-one puts in a bid. I'm of the mind that the club has kept him for the clicks and the shirt revenue from the Bangladesh community. Averaging 10 apps a season mostly as sub and more red cards than goals it's gotta be that.

Good. The last thing we want is endless BS speculation from supposed ITKs for months, 289 pages of "my brother was waiting to use the fax machine in Kevin Davies office and he saw documents being sent to Jeff Bezos". The very fact that documents and brochures relating to the sale have been made public when this club doesn't let anything go public should give you your answer. Let them do it all in the background and the less speculation and chatter from people who (actually ) know nothing the better.

There's always a degree of blame for the manager, they're pivotal in the tactics and general attitude of the squad ( Sven to Pearson, Puel to Rodgers, Enzo to Cooper as 3 classic modern examples) but you cannot look beyond Rudkin here. If Martin doesn't turn this around (ie a long unbeaten run) then he should be Rudkin's final mistake. He's had a hard on for the guy for about 3 years, irrespective of what he did elsewhere, he was determined to get him through the doors at Seagrave. Did he fit? Have we got players that can play tippy tap pass-a-lot football? Was he right for our academy or our situation? Does the club need to be a project or does it just need results? He was available and he went for him. He's culpable if the project fails.

Lowest position in the club's history....so far.

More paywall nonsense. Let me know when the text gets posted.

Won't be there tomorrow, out for the day for my son's birthday. I did offer to get him a ticket but he said he'd report me to social services if I took him "down that place again" 😭

The people who are happy to say Back The Famleh don't seem to be upholding Vichai's standards that he set. They have absolutely no answer when you say "do you think he would have accepted one relegation let alone 3?" Vichai wasn't creating a fluke, he was building a solid base for the club and the lowest ever league position is just the latest sign that base has gone.

We haven't had good solid professionals for about 5 years.

For anyone thinking McCarron was cooking he's cooking kippers in a small, warm room. This swamp needs properly draining and nothing I saw today makes me think Martin will be here past October.

Hope we're not on telly too often, Courtney Sweetchuck Kirk could really start to grate

The match threads are wild but this is the worst take I've seen on here for a while

Whatever your own opinion of him, just like Daka, 5 or 6 managers in a row haven't seen him as good enough to start at ANY level. You can say he tries hard, has passion, loves the club etc but sorry those are MINIMUM requirements for any footballer at a club. For 50k a week, I expect you to run your balls off. He's been fined for being late for training, had drink drive bans and been part of the "leadership group" for all the 3 relegations. There's a pattern. Time to go.

Turn up more than 4 times a season Then..... Sack Rudkin, Herily and Davies. Vardy statue on the away corner, Banks statue at the Kop End. Drop prices in the club shop by 20% Kids for a quid at all night games
