Teflon twat

Really hope Palace win the Conference League.

Coady just isn't a very good defender though. It's not even a case of legs being gone or whatnot, he always played a pretty unique role for Wolves. Dyche binned him pretty quickly at Everton.

Honestly Besiktas where are you!!!!

"Generational talent" 😂😂😂

Looks like their luck hasn't ended then.

The gap is that bit too big but Forest do have a few red flags for this season. Been pretty bad most of this calendar year anyway, Europa League to contend with and two key players gone already. They were carried by a genuine one season wonder run of form from Wood last year. He won't replicate that. Wouldn't put it past Marinakis to sack Nuno fairly early.

True, I do completely agree with you really, there is still the odd bit of apologism for it on here though. Generally think this place is well ahead of others though. Find it quite peculiar how FT and Twitter are fiercely critical and Facebook are still arsekissing.

It is absolutely, utterly insane. You get people on here defending it because they really are that accustomed to it. It really isn't normal. Pure incompetence.

He is possibly insane, but fair play to him. I really hope this is because he backs himself to make this a solid PL gig for himself rather than because they've fed him a load of rubbish as usual.

Rudkin is a symptom, Aiyawatt the cause. Rudkin obviously the biggest symptom by quite a way though.

Those four away back to back would be something. Looks like basically none are attendable though.

Got to admit the more I look at the QPR stint the more meh about it I am. Did very well in his first year, keeping them up when they looked dead and buried - very similar to Rohl. Hasn't really kicked them on at all in the last season though. They survived comfortably in the end but they were bottom of the table in November. I appreciate it's a different level of squad, different resources, but it's all a bit... ordinary. I saw positive shoots in that win away here in March 2024 (I really couldn't give a shit about that cup game, a total freak that shouldn't have even gone ahead) but I am slightly concerned that the biggest positive we seem to have is that we don't really know a load about him. We will see. This isn't a strong view against him and it's more intriguing than something like Gary O'Neil, but in my head his record was better than it actually is.

???

I wouldn't because it's a daft concept but it's a rare instance here where you'd probably end up better prepared than if you didn't. I wonder if Cifuentes is aware he'll be lied to on budget for example.

Agree with everything you've said. Though when Rudkin and Whelan kept their jobs after May 2023 was when I knew we were stuffed. The bit in bold to me was so abundantly obvious based on this. Just empty words.

In many ways it's worse than Chansiri. At least Chansiri never inherited that situation to begin with. It's preposterous.

Can't get on ffs

Actually don't mind him. Do wonder what exactly what went wrong towards the end with QPR and why he's ended up leaving but he did do well there for a while. Was a time when he and Rohl were in very similar conversations. As ever the entire process behind our managerial appointments is ****ing mental. He's been out of work what, 6/7 weeks? How was this not lined up a lot earlier? We got relegated so long ago and the one plus to this is that it gives you a time advantage over your rivals. We've chuffed it away to... play polo? They might've lucked it on him again though. Small positive shoots in what I've seen of him.

This isn't going to work is it. Just doesn't come across like a manager.

Another cheap, lazy and unimaginative appointment. Ticks every box.

I'd imagine that preseason has been arranged very purposely to prevent exactly this. Notice how there's still nothing announced for the last weekend of July.

I think this is the year the yoyo is broken also. It will only be broken under this owner by us not going up. We're outsiders this time for a reason. Since this we've proceeded to throw another few months away while other clubs actually try and make a fist of things. We're continuing to wing it. Clearly the penny still hasn't dropped at the club that we can't keep doing this, or it has and they just have contempt for those who no longer rim the pillock in charge. Neither would surprise me. Football really is broken if a club this shambolic can get promoted to the Premier League.

Never give our board benefit of the doubt.

Get these ****ing arseholes so far gone.
