How we react at board level in the summer will determine if I put money on straight relegations or not. The club is in total freefall.

Embarrassing result for Newcastle.

The table absolutely lies.

I think since he's taken them over they're actually top of the form table - which is mental really.

100% true. Realised this beyond any doubt under Maresca.

Man City a disgrace. Essentially had midweek off and they serve that up. Manchester derby the most overrated there is.

I expect tomorrow to be our lowest PL attendance probably since this stadium opened.

VAR and PSR have killed what little romance was left in the game.

An extremely forgettable Premier League season.

Of course. I'm buzzing for that first 20k crowd next season.

No fan of his but anyone slating the current state of LCFC is obviously correct.

We don't even attempt to attack. It's ridiculous. It's not even bad variance - we just don't attack whatsoever.

And we're easily bigger than Blackburn.

Away support in general has shot up though. I remember us taking about 800 to Cardiff for a 3pm game in the year we made the playoffs (2009?). Last season we took 3k on a Friday and would've easily taken more. Got to be applied with the context of how much away support has increased in general.

If we had Ben Marshall now we'd cling on for five years, loan him to whoever and then release him for nothing at the end.

The problem you have at this club, I alluded to it in another thread is that we've set a standard and give allowances to everyone based on a squad that achieved the pinnacle for us. We reward players as if they're league winners. Schmeichel did it but his commitment could never really be questioned. I don't think we can really make these allowances for new players - particularly this lot. Jordan on BSLB touched on a bit of a point in that he thought Winks was a consumate professional, a good egg etc... but thinks otherwise now. The trend I'm spotting is that virtually everyone here seems to get tainted. I really believe if you gave us say, Elanga, Hudson-Odoi etc.. at the time of when Forest signed them, they would likely be completely tailing off as players now. There's something rotten at the core here.

It's astounding. We'd take 10k to this most years.

And agreements like this - exactly the sort of nonsense that builds into the overall lack of pride in the club / city. We are being taken the piss out of by every single person at the club.

Never managed to fully shake the discomfort of adding Spurs losers to this already soft as shit dressing room. Taken its time (aka when we're not playing teams we have 10 times the wage bill of) but we got there. Get him gone. Will start our opener though.

Maresca was a complete fluke. Agents job. No credit for the board.

I knew things were bad but Jesus Christ.

At Cooper's PPG we'd be on 25 points - that is about where I think it would be. Still in the race but will ultimately be relegated.

For what it's worth I'm not one bit fooled. He carries a lot of the can for his utterly dreadful recruitment which achieved absolutely nothing. Good money wasted on players with no resale value and players who haven't delivered anything in the short term either. But if you're him I think you're having a bit of a laugh to yourself right now. He got 59% of our points in 40% of our games. This is how I'd be spinning it if I was him. I've never really known a managers stock potentially rise in a season where he was so poor himself.

On a sensible contract, where he starts maybe 20% of the games I would. What it really means though is just another iteration of this nonsense we've seen this season.

It would be extremely on brand for us to do this. After all it's one less thing for those 'running' the club to go. Another corner cut. It's absolutely ludicrous that they've forced us to a point where we're having to criticise him. Sums up how inept they are.
