Adrien Silva?

Not saying that some of the points raised are not valid, but the continual flood of moans/complaints does get a bit tiresome. (the owners/the board/ the last manager/the current manager/ the last sponsors/the current sponsors/the style of play/ players not leaving/players not arriving.....)

Unlikely that he'll have no say at all.

You sound pleased at the thought.

Of course there are clubs that are run absolutely fine, - at the moment, and as far as we know. So were we until Top took his eye off the ball. EFL have no idea about the validity of their own regulations You want a change of ownership because of what MIGHT happen in the seasons to come!!? You'd better take a close look at the sponsors of the other Premier League teams. Very few of them are paragons of virtue. Top has been badly served by many of the people he employs, and yes, he's not the man his father was, but I'll take him over American asset strippers, money rich heads of Arab states indulging in sports washing to disguise human right abuses, and dreamers who think they can buy a club using little or no money of their own. So to answer your question, it will take more than a couple difficult and disappointing seasons for me to slag off the club and demand fundamental changes to it's structure.

Take a long careful look at the owners of some other clubs. (Everton, Man.U, Man City, Spurs, Florists, Chelsea, even us when wheeler/dealer Mandaric was in situ.)

(A) They haven't got RVN yet, & (B) Vincent Kompany's ceiling was pretty high, for what it was worth.

It's not just a matter of choosing. Potter turned us down because he would loose more in severance pay from Chelsea than we could afford to pay him. Corberan would involve compensation to West Brom that we can ill-afford. Not aware of many other hats being tossed into the ring. People have got to want come, and we're not the most enticing prospect to any manager with a decent CV at the moment.

He was an England international.

Be careful of what you wish for.

Err...yes I do realise. It was an attempt at humour. Obviously a fail!

All their home games cancelled until November...crikey!

Sooner face them then than in the last six games of the season.

I was simply challenging the remark that lots of clubs of our size have gone through the success that we have. There isn't. Also...which are the "certain clubs" that won't deal with Rudkin? If the poster is quoting facts there is no harm in naming them, rather than muttering vague complaints.

Errr...there's only one other club our size that has achieved the success that we have in the lifetime of the Prem. Also , whilst I'm no admirer of Rudkin, who are the "certain clubs" that won't deal with him?

Do people not understand the Enzo theory? Harry Winks and KDH obviously do/did going by their comments in interviews, and I'd suggest they know more about the game than most folk posting on here. The idea of passing the ball around from kick-off is to draw the opposition out of position, and if it doesn't work straight away, keep doing it until it does work. If our strikers fail to take advantage of the openings thus created, that's the players failing, not the system.

Praet and Kels barely got on the bench, let alone any match time .Wilf will be a miss.

Funny that the most uttered comment about us last season was "strongest team to ever play at this level"

And probably back again.

Artificial Stupidity!

He wasn't twiddling his thumbs whilst an assistant at Man City!

Trouble is, our board weren't straight with him when appointing him, regarding our financial situation, and the possible points deduction.

Bit arrogant.

And your source for this is...?

Owners can't do that these days, that's why we're getting hammered.
