There are fans of ours who will defend those responsible as well. Scumbags.

I don't think we're far off a point where Sean Dyche would tell us to stick it. We might already be there. The next appointment is really going to make it sink in for people - if Steve Cooper himself didn't.

Needs to go to save his own career. Don't let this place sink you.

4/5-0.

I genuinely don't want Pearson or King etc.. involved until the summer at the earliest. I don't want this relegation on their CV. Reminds me of when Newcastle appointed Shearer. Their greatest most iconic player (of my lifetime anyway) has taking Newcastle down on his record forever no matter if it's hit fault or not. You can't fix this team this season. They've given up. Take the hit and rebuild it from the summer. But my worry is we were here two years ago and where did it get us? Nothing can really change until the board and.. well, lets be honest, ownership are changed. Because the ownership aren't won't change anything. We are broken until King Power go.

Yep. Wonder if they have some sort of case against us.

Rooney got many jobs he was totally underqualified for. It worked a treat. There's hope yet. He'll probably blag Hamburg or Malaga.

I don't want to burden anybody with good relations at this club with these set of scumbag players working under these oxygen thieves. I'd give the job to Dennis Wise for the rest of the season. Failing that Ghislaine Maxwell.

I think the clapping can only be a deliberate wind up ploy now. No other explanation.

Absolutely categorically the problem at this club. Rudkin is a symptom. Not the poison. Remember this.

Man Utd I think because when these records fall I feel like they never quite go beyond another game. I'll be amazed if we get another point before May though. It's the most extraordinary circumstances.

Own up - who fell for it? (Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Our fans have absolutely abjectly failed this test as well. This place is one of the only sane places when it comes to LCFC (yes, really). The entire ground should be as poisonous as this place is. But they just meekly take it. **** me harder daddy. Forget places like Leeds and Everton. This bollocks wouldn't even be tolerated at somewhere like Wolves. This fanbase has been quite badly exposed, and that's pretty painful.

To be honest in a way I can only have so much sympathy. He'll be well paid for this. I think his name alone will probably save his career (contradicting what I just said), he was given not one, but two first hand glimpses into the shite he would be working with, and if he'd done his due diligence he would know that we have the worst board in England that have lied to three managers in a row before him (now four, obviously). If I as an armchair amateur can see it, I'm amazed he can't.

Lost me after picking Ward against Wolves. Never entirely recovered it even if I do think he's been stitched up. Stitched up or not though, you can see quality in the worst situations. You only have to look at someone like Danny Rohl. What he's served up is what I fear would happen if I got the job. Totally out of his depth and has possibly killed his managerial career before it's even really gotten going. Will likely be a pundit for the World Cup.

Worst side relative to its league in our history and I don't even think it's close either is it. Most hateful side we've had. Don't deserve a jot of support from anybody. Go and never come back.

Same system with one change. We 'might' score but we'll still concede the customary 2+. By my calculation, it's a loss.

He wouldn't touch us. Going back to Top and Rudkin is like Andy Dufresne offering himself back into Shawshank.

The most annoying part is we're not actually far off 17th. It would be easier in a way if Wolves had just won the other night and settled this once and for all. Although total acceptance of being down probably means more hilarious "we've got the ball" sort of stuff so maybe not.

Southampton aren't a fanbase I come across often but one of them liked a tweet of mine so out of interest I had a scroll down their timeline. It was hilarious in its similarity. It's neither crap manager, it's the board. "The fans will still clap them off" etc... eerie similarities. We've fallen further as we were higher to begin with but Southampton's decline is mental and doesn't get enough coverage either. But again, like us, they make nowhere near enough of a fuss. It's outrageous how bad they've become.

Need any help?

Play football on Thursday nights. I think a couple of years ago I'd have binned it for a week to probably go to the game. I'm just playing as normal this time. Unthinkable for me at one point really.

Yep. The balance was very different with Pearson. There's a world where De Cordova-Reid actually works out for a newly promoted side. The problem is playing him, Ayew and Vardy is absolute lunacy.

Nowhere near a given we go back up this time. I think it was as near to a given as possible last time out but this is a substantially poorer team than last time, that is going to probably get worse, that has been in appalling form for literally a year now. Don't forget we lost 6 of our last 12 at the end of the last Championship season. Will be quite heavily contingent on how we recruit, which was a big part of it last time. People point to Sheffield United but they have really overhauled their side with a manager who knows what he's doing. I'd have no confidence in our twats managing that. There isn't a single bit of nous at this club if the points about this all catching them by surprise is anything to go by. A club in total fantasy land.

I think we were better under Cooper because he actually didn't try and put in any structure as strange as it sounds. I think we were acting more on instinct and just chancing it on the randomness of games. It's never a long term plan but maybe in the long run that would've yielded the odd result a bit more often. My sympathy for him is massively suspended because his recruitment was appalling and totally irresponsible given the financial constraints we've found ourselves under. How it was allowed is beyond me. Van Nistelrooy has managed the worst of both worlds - he's kept us just as disorganised at the back while totally stifling our ability to score goals. I think he's been completely stitched up but as I feared when he was appointed, the entire thing has been one massive false start and it's never going to recover. He came close to matching our alltime losing run last time with 7. I think he goes one better this time. Not a chance this side gets a point until Wolves, probably Southampton. Other teams may as well rest players.
