I at least thought we'd get rid of her as well. Can never have it all can you.

It's an absolute travesty isn't it really no justice.

He's won here hasn't he bloody hell.

Saw a tweet earlier that Leeds actually get even more.

Look how much Southampton consistently sell absolute crap for despite winning about 5% of top flight games in the last half a decade. We loan El Khannouss out with an option to buy. They sell Mateus Fernandes for more than that loan to buy option fee.

Like I say - same old. Minimal benefit but typical of us. Southampton for all their faults manage to shift absolute dross for loads.

We get a ridiculous number of away draws thinking about it. 2025/26 - 3/3 away 2024/25 - 3/5 away 2023/24 - 5/6 away 2022/23 - 5/7 away 2021/22 - 3/5 away

If one draw summed up both clubs seasons. It's almost beautiful in its shitness.

Haha that is so so bad.

It was never in any doubt with their track record but 12 days into this month and we already know it's just more of the same. Our situation is crap, but with some competent people on board you could still make a better fist of things. Nobody has been moved on despite being frozen out for months. No loans have been agreed despite the ability to bring in another three, possibly four if you had Ramsey gone. It isn't tricky to do. It's just tricky to do when you have idiots involved all over the place who haven't got a clue what they're doing. Which we have. Therefore it becomes tricky for us. Nothing will ever change under this owner. We know the truth. It was obvious after 2022/23 and the most egregious underperformance leading to a relegation ever where people actually continued on as normal that we were heading for nothing other than doom. - Massively incompetent - Zero introspection - Zero ambition To have just one of those is a problem but at least you can fix it. You cannot fix all three under the same regime. Every single effort should be made to forcing them out - no matter what.

Yeah if there was any doubt this dickhead would take us to our lowest ever position there can't be now.

It's just bizarre again isn't it.

It's just their hypocrisy. Disagreements on players, so be it, I don't agree with them but fair enough. But to slaughter a young player who had a decent game, these are the people who bash you for 'not supporting the team' as well.

The Facebook lot. Just wrong literally every time. These are quite likely the same apologists of KP as well which is incredible.

It looked more than 12,000 but I didn't think even they would have the brass neck to claim that was 27k. But no, they really do live in that level of bubble.

It's hit the point where it's started feeling a bit easy again. I do have a pretty good team now for this level, probably the 5th best in the league (I think there are less gaps in my side than Aris, who have really fallen off) but the way we can just slaughter Panathinaikos and AEK feels a bit unrealistic. Unfortunately PAOK are an absolute machine though and are going to win the league. I'm likely to come 2nd. Knocked Legia Warsaw and Rijeka out of the Europa League qualifiers but Slavia Prague ended up beating us 5-0 at their place in a genuine freak of a game, we had double their shots and beat them on xg beat them 3-1 at home but 5-0 is just too much. Ended up in the Conference League and didn't drop a point in the league phase. Really seems to be random how 'greyed out' teams play against you. I was fortunate to beat Rosenborg but I changed 9 players for FCSB away and absolutely battered them, and on paper there is quite little between those two.

Yeah but there weren't.

Should have had far more minutes this season. So much can be achieved simply putting round pegs in round holes.

This is also depressingly correct.

I don't think we'll get battered, but they're genuinely wobbling all over the place and I'm annoyed that we're going to go there and probably hand them a win just when they really need it. Just reeks of a 1-0 or 2-1 loss.

I home ended it today, got offered one last minute. I was down the side and assumed it was just bad acoustics until I heard the away end very late on. That was abject, miserable stuff.

We quite obviously just wing it with everything these days though. The entire process behind Cifuentes ending up here said it all about us. 3rd club in the league to be confirmed in the division this season. 23rd club in the league to have a manager in place. They haven't got a clue, I doubt a replacement for Cifuentes has crossed their mind.

I could see it being Michael Carrick. He ticks the boxes. Free agent, worked at this level, seen as playing 'the right' way. I think he'd be an upgrade on Cifuentes but not a massive one. Middlesbrough didn't improve under him and have been better since he left. Would be exactly the sort of thing we'd go for.

Wise from them, exactly what they should be doing. Meanwhile 9 days in - absolutely nothing here as usual. We're that accustomed to this bollocks that we think it's normal.
