Dan

The most expensive to leave the Danish league directly, have there been more then?

Most annoying about this one is I've been championing the idea of signing players from places like Denmark. I mean it's worked with Hermansen but Kristiansen is the most expensive player to ever leave the Danish league. We overpaid, spent weeks getting what should've been a straight forward deal done and he's turned out rubbish as well. He's been a massive letdown for me. I thought he'd be a lot better.

There's a lot of cope about Forest (which I do understand obviously), Marinakis is a mad bastard but he's single minded in trying to be the best. I'm not convinced they'll win anything but I think they'll utilise their position of strength a lot better than we did. I am just glad we did convert it into silverware. EDIT: That reads massively contradictory. What I mean is I can't see them having a summer as terrible as we did after winning the league. They will bring in a higher calibre of player. You can see them getting someone like Cunha. It's mad to think back then we probably had the power to sign Van Dijk, Mane, Salah.

I don't think we'll go down again but I can see us becoming like a Norwich type. You never know though. We've not performed close to our potential in a season for years now. It's a deep rooted rot. It doesn't keep happening by accident.

Liverpool fans already asking about buying home end tickets against us. Got to remember they never got to witness the title in 2020.

Yep. This is an alltime low for me. Problem is I don't think it's stopped sinking yet. This is the norm until this owner gets the hell out of here.

We can relax now. It's done. Time to throw some academy players in. I'm glad it's less likely it'll be happening at Forest.

At least Aiyawatt throwing his weight behind this one publicly is a small bit of positive to take. The fact it's gone this spectacularly badly (even I didn't think he could get it this wrong) means he has absolutely nowhere to hide anymore. Will try of course though.

It's everything I expected. Half arsed, won't really achieve a great deal and came absolutely years after it should've happened anyway to the point I've basically lost interest in it. Pyrrhic victory. They've conceded virtually nothing but can say they have. It couldn't have gone more how I expected.

He wasn't 'that' amazing last season. Good on the ball but circumstances couldn't have suited him any more. Got booked something like 13 times and that isn't because he plays on the edge. I'd love him out the door but absolutely no chance. No other club is this dumb.

I've thought ever since he left Wolves Gary O'Neil would end up here. Ticks the boxes - known to the ownership and readily available.

It's an absolute shambles but ultimately a reflection on those who constructed it. They've made just about every error imaginable, fallen into every single pitfall and trap. They've managed to acquire a squad of poor sell on value, paid a premium for intangibles, have recruited with a short term view yet will fall short of their short term arms quite significantly. It's the sort of thing that makes you feel like you could still make it in the game in some form. I honestly think there are people on here who couldn't have done a worse job of it. You can't even get excited about a potential refresh in the Championship because I bet at least 8 of our XI on the opening day of next season was here this year.

They pulled a lot of this sort of shit the last time we got relegated too. Started with that ridiculous ID checking at away games - like they weren't enough of a faff for people with the shit being served up.

Huge culture of delusion at this club.

I reckon we've got the highest percentage of drivers in our away ends of virtually anybody. Not a criticism but more observation = but definitely means more sober ends.

I thought this was especially true of Hull last season - a fanbase I've never rated who've really picked up a bit.

I mean it isn't a rugby city. Tigers I'd say almost certainly get a higher % of their crowd from outside Leicester City than we do.

PSG were fantastic over the two legs. They've got a real chance here.

You saying this has reminded me of this: https://youtu.be/CHTB-0QIrTQ?si=wGGB668sd03v0mWN Bit before my time but my god our end seems absolutely terrific. I don't think we're up to much these days but every now and then we are very good. Preston should give some inspiration. We have a pretty high ceiling.

I'm not OK with it but the anger amongst this fanbase isn't enough. We have become used to this now and you lose the will to fight for it to be honest. I really don't know what realistically is going to turn around how this feels.

It's astonishing how much Aiyawatt has killed the pride in this club that a manager is performing one of the worst jobs in the leagues history and him keeping his job isn't even bothering me much. I was absolutely furious a couple of years ago with Rodgers. Sums up how much decline he's actually overseen.

Depends how quickly teams work out that they can get at us this time. I think fear factor carried us for quite a lot of last season really.

If Rudkin can't be blamed for that then we shouldn't pay the bloke a penny. It's his fault.

Soumare syndrome I fear.

Yeah you don't fool me.
