Our "not got" list would be massive.

The names we used to sign and get linked with and now we're down to Craig Dawson (rumours) The next 4 months are going to be like having a root canal done.

It was the last time I defended him for anything. He was on holiday in Spain and we announced Iborra two days later. Takes his holidays at Selhurst Park these days.

Pretty sure there's a few on here that spent 2 years demanding we get him in that are now not so happy to be reminded of it. Big names rarely make good managers and he's just the latest one that maybe needs a couple of years at a lower level making correct decisions and working his way up the ladder. He could end up being the latest guy who can coach but doesn't suit the hot seat.

That's a simplistic view that ignores the poor decisions that took us from challenging the top 6 to never being out of the bottom 6. We're fighting that gap through piss-poor financial management, shocking - utterly shocking - recruitment and contract policy and consistently inconsistent choice of managers. We used to laugh at clubs who were run this way.

Filbert Street every time. Should have been redeveloped stand by stand. Could have built flats on the KP land and moved the residents from Filbo and Burnmoor down there. Tragic looking at the site now. I've spent more years at King Power but it will never feel like a proper home.

This is the route most of our academy lads should go down. Barnes, KDH, Chilwell, Hamza, Stolarcyk to name but a few all got better by spending time with sides playing twice a week, building their strength and conditioning against bigger players week in week out. The exception is probably Thomas who needed a loan but got thrown in the deep end. The lad will struggle to get game time past BEK and Buonanotte and if we do go down we'll need him physically bigger than he looks right now.

8m is nothing these days. Half a Maddison. Fifth of a Tielemans. Less than Cannon.

Potter and Moyes weren't coming here for a reason - no funds. We were basically left with one option - RVN. The only other side offering him a job were Cov. Everyone knows our finances are up the sh!÷÷er right now. He can hardly have been expecting a 50m pot but he will have wanted foreign loans or a couple of bargains. We'll never know for sure.

Poor guy had to turn off comments on the post 😁

At this stage it doesn't matter. On balance yes but no-one who comes in can get tune from this bunch of gutless clowns. They're clearly not being prepared properly for games but the individual errors and displays show they're also disinterested in trying.

22/23 all over again but these are the ones who were still unsold from that nightmare. Faes, the utter bumble**** was sarcastically applauding fans at home the other week and that sort of attitude is a cancer throughout the whole team. It's shocking but in no way a surprise.

Most of 94/95 But fck me, Faes is making Nicky Mohan's defending look like a Robert Huth masterclass

If we're advocating Daka starting we're really in trouble. He shouldn't be in the squad let alone the team. It shows how far we've fallen that players like him are still here picking up a wage.

And fastest ever at Goodison

Mike Stowell just mentioned on RL commentary he's gone in for a procedure today and thanks everyone for their support

I don't care what anyone says about Coady, this muppet makes him look like Prime Bobby Moore. Got his place back on the back of that thunderbxstard against QPR. He's garbage, utter garbage.

Forest proving that massively overspending and getting the players you want at the expense of a small pts deduction is the way to go.

Hundreds of examples across all clubs over the years. The one guy who comes back to haunt you. The player who couldn't get in your team but becomes someone's 20-a-season man

Only this club would see a relegation rival struggling without a striker and offer them one of our few remaining options up front to help them out. Don't get me wrong he's more of a handicap than a help but you just know he'd bag 3 or 4 crucial goals to keep them above the line.

You'll be forever tarnished by the Tete thing so I'll wait till he actually plays first

No-one is, even Villa are selling and theyre in the last 16 in the Euro thing. PSR has crippled everyone and the only players out there are duds.

We'll manage thanks.

I'm sure it was Pearson who used to say the best prepared clubs did their business in the summer. It's always the case. Big money buys aren't available mid season, proper players are performing for proper clubs. There will always be an odd exception like a Huth or a Tielemans but they're rare beasts. January is more a time for the Ryan Bennetts of this world. If they come in now I'd be more wary than excited anyway
