Bar Fatawu and Nelson the one's I've voted to leave will only leave on loans with us paying the majority of their wages because they will threaten to down tools if we force them to play in League One. I'd still be amazed if we successfully managed to organise that shit sandwich though.

Get gone.

Pathetic. Maybe we can buy him back for the same 10M in about 5 years if he stagnates and doesn't progress at all until then.

Dad's army it is. Shocker. You just know the handful of potential assets we are left with are going to be kept out of the team by long past it ex-prem or nearly ran players. What a heinous little club we are with this idiot child and his anal beads in charge.

Far and away the worst england defence ever fielded.

It's more like KPFC to go out and get the manager no one wanted, within an acceptable time-frame (for a change), and then find that not only did no one want him, but no one wants to work with him either, not even his previous backroom staff. 🤡👍

We are managing to collect a band of the most lesson learning averse people ever compiled. Birds of a feather flock together I guess. Also a full house in Southampton failure bingo.

Our only hope is that League One is actually his level and we get a lucky start. 🤷‍♂️ 🙏🤞🍀

Can't say anything that's not already been said... Just drifting into ennui now...

I know. I had a momentary lapse of hope. It is what should happen though. This is probably too big a car wreck for Challinor, or any one man, alone. We need a manager to take care of training and match day and a director of football to deal with the rotten culture and putting out all of the fires.

Yea, our situation is so dire that's it's just a necessary no-brainer to get someone in who understands the culture and what it takes to build it back up from scratch. McCarron is too green for this assignment and we all know about Rudkin, so I guess I'm just clutching at straws in hopes we'd hire the right people that would allow us to move forward in spite of Top and Rudkin. I've basically accepted that the only way is down until Top and Rudkin are gone, but it's the glimmer of hope that kills you.

Challinor with Pearson back as director of football would be a pleasant surprise. Two serious men in the building for the first time in 5+ years that combined would be capable of rebuilding the club. That's probably our best case scenario right now.

I, for one, wait with baited breath to find out which mercenary or complacent old head is going to keep Aluko, Braybrooke, and, whichever other young talent we are lucky enough to keep, out of the team.

Whoever agrees to attempt to play tiki-taka football out of the options lying around on the floor at the end of July I expect. Martin is probably their most ambitious attempt and the basket they will put all of their eggs in, but he will almost certainly be put off during the interview process and leave them floundering for another month plus. A la Enzo last year.

Everyone is still just on their scheduled breaks, aren't they? Well deserved time off they probably think. Business as usual. No planning or anything happening. No emergency protocols, and certainly no communication. Just continued rewards for continued failure. The same mistakes on repeat ad infinitum, until we go pop. We're going to be the last team to hire a manager in the football league...

The only way we get rid of him is via loan where we pay 50% of his wages I fear. Probably the same with Winks and several others. I would not be surprised if the weekly wages we are still paying to loaned out players next season amounts to more than the entire wages of most match day opposition squads we'll face.

Glover and Rudkin haven't done any actual scouting/work in about 5 years. Their combined little black books only have about a dozen names that we've not already ran through for playing and coaching staff. Would be unbelievable if not for the last 5 years. Southampton are loving that we keep going back to all their failures and cast offs. It's like a sliding doors episode for them at the minute where they get to see where they could have been had they persisted with these failures like us.

As others have said; shame for the players and the charity, but a devastating turnout is just what the club deserve. Bet they still announce a 20+K attendance. Shame as this should have been a rammed stadium on a day like today with a Kasabian performance and the lot.

Such a shame.

If Dykes turns out to be true, we are going to be out of the Championship for longer than I already thought...

Getting more annoyed by the day that I can't go to this. Would love to have taken my grandad if I could stomach putting another penny in the King Power coffers.

We're the first line of defence against them Warwickshire w@nkers I'll have you know. Now we have to suffer the indignity of being served by men in Cov shirts (bar Yo-ey who refused until he took it off 😂). 😆👎

Hopefully. This does feel different though. There has never been a time in the last 50 years that Cov fans felt so emboldened as to wear their shirts proudly in Hinckley regardless of the difference in league positions and now half the new pub owners/managers seem to be wearing Cov shirts. Think there's something in that...

For reference this didn't even happen last time we were in League One by the way. Even without what now is a prestigious history. Everyone knows we are an omnishambles going nowhere, but down it seems.

I think this generation are already lost. The border of Coventry fans used to be Nuneaton/"wrong side of the A5", but now Hinckley has basically fallen to Coventry as well in my recent experience.
