That's all well and good but I'm not willing to put him over the club. If he cares that much about it, then why doesn't he realise what damage he's doing to it and get out of here. If I couldn't drive and my Dad left me a ferrari I wouldn't go and take it on the autobahn.

Little gobshite. Cannot stress how imperative it is he goes.

That Percy article today - I'm in shock at quite how bad things actually are. If that fringe player on £100k a week is Coady then I don't think people realise how imperative it is that we get this ownership out. We're the next crisis club under these lot. Mark my words. It's that serious.

We're about due to get one of these decisions right. Though I've no doubt he explodes into basically Lewandowski in the next year.

That's why I'm against. I'm very much in favour of selling players as a general rule, but it relies on a reliable recruitment set up to make it worth it. It's why the Cannon situation, while I don't mind the sale, we will likely rue it because of a failure to use the money properly. Ndidi is our best midfielder by a mile. The results prove it. But his injury record is a problem. We cannot keep accounting for him and Ricardo spending half a season out every year.

If we loan him out this window I'd unironically believe that they were setting fire to things on their way out. Even they aren't this stupid, surely?

Couldn't have this fixture at a much better time and yet I've no faith we'll take any advantage. Could be quite a comical shit-off. Two awful teams.

We'd have stayed up in 2022/23 for sure. But I don't think it would've solved what are quite evidently deep-rooted problems at the club and I think him leaving was kind of a pointer towards that.

The Championship thing should've been treated as a job done rather than some sort of achievement. A very unique situation caused only by the staggering levels of ineptness served up the year prior. Even then we did our best to blow it and only didn't because the others let us off. The support the players line always comes from people on Facebook who I guarantee don't actually support the players in the ground.

Soumare isn't good. I can't believe people have fallen for it again. Despite the fact we lose every week. He's not been the ultimate problem in that side, there are bigger offenders, but he isn't good.

What's quite worrying is a few of these are relatively new signings too. This place just seems to infect anybody.

I'm following the Championship relegation battle so in my head we're already down. I can tolerate this providing we get an overhaul at board level. We'll as usual get the worst of both worlds though. Relegated but the same clowns in their jobs.

Doesn't even surprise you anymore.

Yet not a single one of those is still at the club. Like I say all the wrong people got the credit. This was always eventually going to catch up with us.

I'd suggest if they were to miss out that they might not be hamstrung by the same blockade we are in that they have no ability to sell players. They shifted Niakhate and Mangala in the summer for £40-50mil. Meanwhile we're still waiting for Soumare to come good. They have a lot more flexibility because they get things done. If they miss out I expect them to sell Murillo in the next 18 months. Possibly Gibbs-White too. Another irony is them now going for Matheus Cunha. I seem to remember us getting a Wolves player in in the equivalent window. I'm saying all this hoping you're right - it's barely believable that they're this far ahead of us this quickly. To think some of our fans wanted them to beat Huddersfield.

Think what they do could really make it hit home how utterly pathetic our efforts were in the same position. It really is a miracle we ever got good at all under these clowns. All the wrong people seem to have been rewarded for it.

I see Bournemouth signed a highly rated young left back for less than we'll paid for Edouard's loan fee + wages as contingency for when they sell Kerkez. This is the exact opposite to us. Prepared for an expected hit. We just never seem remotely prepared for anything ever. Every single window we're scrambling around and panicking. Every ****ing time.

I did think with the heat actually being turned up, a manager known for being quite demanding (well, willing to fall out with a board) and our situation being this bleak that we might actually try and be different this window. But nope. Same old embarrassing drivel. Shift the goalposts in the public and then fail to deliver. Nobody held to any account. This is by a mile the worst run club in this league and only a handful in the Championship are worse. Any except for Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff?

Correct. Heat should be on Top.

There was a round in the FA Cup about 3-4 years ago where they went for some less obvious TV picks including dropping Man Utd's game and I think something like 4 of the 6 games ended 0-0. It was sods law.

It'll never happen under these plonkers. To be honest I read that and wondered if it was proofing against a potential embargo.

Pretty apparent already crowds are on the wane. Loads of empties v Palace. Fulham, a Saturday 3pm in the Premier League went to general sale - when did that last happen?

We're not really big enough for them to care. We should be doing absolutely nothing to fit in with their view of us though - the exact opposite. But we don't do this under this ownership.

For setting smoke bombs off at Palace in September. Problem is I didn't do it. So I got rewarded with this ban for nothing. Out until September. Roll on Wrexham.

We should've lost at both Southampton and Ipswich and only didn't because of lucky officiating. Lose both of those two we currently sit on 10 points, 1 ahead of Southampton. We've not put in a good 90 minutes in a single one of our 22 games. Not a single one.
