They'll offer 2 years, we'll offer 4 and more money despite being a league below.

So a player we didn't give a single minute to for two years, continued to pay wages for, who wasn't happy to just do this, who had offers to go meaning we lost money for... literally nothing. Why are we like this? Not a single party benefitted from this. You don't even know where to start on these clowns these days.

Fast counter attacking will always resonate more with this fanbase than slow football no matter how right or wrong that may be. No point trying to run from it. Get it done Leicester.

**** me. I wasn't even wrong. I was joking as well. This lot are something else. Never known anything like it.

Good explanation and very transparent. He'll be hauled in for a meeting tomorrow after this - they don't do that here.

Leeds were very good last season - they could've beaten 106 if not for Meslier.

This is often forgotten - we've been crap since February 2024. The last third of the Championship season we were bang average for even that level, and we've kept that up. We on paper should be good but there's no guarantees at all. It's not as good a squad as we went down with last time either.

A decent manager could fix things. No guarantee though. We've been shit since February 2024 and some of that was at this level.

In fairness he tried. That idiot owner will have the players back when they go crying about it. This is a top down (Aiyawatt down) culture issue. Cannot be fixed under this owner.

We'll see. Nothing would surprise me with them.

Those who had been insisting we couldn't say a word until July - either they're wrong or we have done a classic KPFC and handicapped ourselves for no reason. Neither would surprise me.

It's one of those things, again, where you think surely they have waited to put it into next years. We'll get an article from Percy in a few months confirming Teflon Jon ****ed up and its given us another reason for us to be charged.

Another manager lied to according to Percy. That's four in a row. Dyche can do better than these clowns.

They're right far more often than they're wrong. No matter how inconvenient that can be.

This forum has always famously loved Russell Martin. You are right though I do remember this.

Their home form was poor but their away form, for their level of squad is exceptional. He's one of those who has undoubtedly overperformed and it's been a long time since we got somebody in who you can say had done that as manager. Feels such an obvious thing to look for and I never really feel like we do.

Yeah they did. Late winner. Martin's first game there. Martin made a pretty horrid start at Southampton, there was real talk of a sacking late September.

In fairness it'll be factoring in Wednesday's upturn too. Suppose they came here in February rock bottom of the league whereas this time they've just finished 12th and had a pretty decent away record. Definitely one of those things where it hits you how much we've dropped though.

1.38 PPG at Wednesday which normally has you around 8th or so. He took over a side that looked almost certain to be relegated. It's definitely flattened out a little but that's seriously impressive in tough circumstances with a really poor squad. Sometimes it's just a very obvious move. Demonstrable ability of punching above his weight, young, available and would come to us. It's a complete open goal for us here.

Our odds to beat Wednesday are far longer than they were in the exact fixture only 16 months ago. Bookies really don't fancy us a jot this season. Interesting.

Sheffield Wednesday at home or Preston away.

They do, it's boxing day they don't.

It's as if he knew

Couldn't handpick a kinder opening pair of fixtures. That's pretty fortunate given we're likely starting on minus.
