Hardly any and that's precisely the point. I think he's been unlucky but it's been a terrible signing that entirely sums up the dysfunction of the club.

Our best chance of getting rid of them is having a DOF who isn't absolutely useless. Forget all of our ideas on Faes for example, this is a player who is in the Belgium set up in a World Cup year. You're not telling me there wouldn't be a single taker on the continent. Turkish teams are obsessed with signing players who stink it out in the Premier League. He's right up their street. One of them would bite.

The bloke isn't a striker. Simple as that. He hasn't got striker instincts. I don't know what he is but it isn't a striker.

It's fascinating to me. Totally fascinating the level of brainwashing that's successfully taken place. Where we were when Aiyawatt took over? Substantially, indescribably better than we are now. When Vichai took over from Mandaric? Actually quite comfortably better than we are now as well.

There does seem to be a new team up in 5th every week but this season more than any other must surely put the nail in the coffin of Brentford ever losing a manager again. The manager at that club feels almost unimportant.

There will be fans of ours who applauded the Sheffield Wednesday protest but will act high and mighty when we're in League One. Total cuck mentality.

I can't think of another fanbase who plays down the size of their own club as much as ours. I just cannot picture anybody of a comparable size arguing for it to that level. Absolute madness, what has caused it?

Forest are like Everton on steroids. No matter how dreadful they are they just won't drop. Remarkably lucky yet again last night and safe for another year.

I could've told anyone that just from an outside point of view so they were willing to talk to him. I just wonder what specifically it was - it's probably what you say. Could be style of play. He's who we should've appointed for what it's worth. There's just no way we'd be this bad.

Another example yep. I'd be interested to know what the talks with Wilder broke down over.

Aiyawatt's original video was released right after the fans had been singing derogatory stuff at Norwich in early November. I wouldn't be surprised if that without that, they had still to this day not released the video.

Ultimately this appointment to be any good, just like the manager, needs to be someone who'll tell those two twats to do one. But for precisely that reason, they will not bring somebody in who is a risk of actually going that. This is why this ownership is a bust and needs to go ASAP. They very nearly had this happen with Maresca. He'd sussed these idiots pretty quickly - as early as that ridiculous preseason tour, but we lost him just in time. Horrendous luck for the club on the whole.

Never expected it to be anyone decent - this is someone who is ultimately going to be answerable to Aiyawatt & Rudkin. Nobody of any stature or track record is going to put themselves through that - they don't need to. Southampton again (!), similar sort of CV to what Rudkin had before he was overly promoted. Sounds like everything I expected. Not to mention the obvious Russell Martin link. It's basically everything I expected.

I still think even those blaming the weather and whatnot are self-owning a bit. You're not telling me they wouldn't have made the effort if we were playing Manchester United. That in itself is sort of a boycott anyway.

The only stat that surprised me were that two sides have somehow made less sprints than us. Who on earth are these teams? What on earth are they doing? How this side is in the top half just absolutely beggars belief.

Correct. Which is why further decline is inevitable. If we're losing those two and still cheaping out on recruitment (which is basically guaranteed) then we'll be relegated next year.

What's been so infuriating about the decline under Aiyawatt is our tendency, which has gone on for years, to be able to paper over the cracks. Happened for so long of the 2021/22 season when Rodgers was performing terribly, but seemed to keep spawning enough wins to create this illusion that we were doing 'OK' before the inevitable crash the following season. In that season itself, Rodgers often seemed to get a result to create the illusion we would survive before it did enough to nail us to relegation. It was happening under Cooper - terrible in virtually every game. Under Cifuentes, it might just be even worse. On a single game basis that game tonight might be the most extraordinary example yet. I cannot remember a team ever playing so badly and winning as much as that game. It was an absolute disgrace of a performance. Individual quality of James and Fatawu is the reason we're not in the bottom three. It really is as simple as that. When that's gone next year. Oh boy.

I actually can't believe they've had the gall to announce that was 27k. I thought they'd go somewhere in the middle and go for about 22k but no, they really are that brazen in their lying. I've already seen fans of ours using that attendance figure as a pushback against the boycott as well. Tells you everything you need to know about them to be honest.

He's actually spawnier than Cooper and I didn't think it was possible.

We'll always get whatever is the most damaging long term result. So that was inevitable.

****ing superb effort.

This is funny bad

Good god these are ****ing shit.

That crowd hahahaha

Played another season and had basically a repeat. Ended up grabbing 4th on the final day, this time ahead of AEK rather than Panathinaikos. Had a much worse points tally though and only managed 3 draws and 3 losses from the Championship group. PAOK absolutely blitzed the league this time, and then won the cup meaning once again we go into the Europa League qualifiers and will face Legia Warsaw. We went out of the Greek cup in the quarters again. A proper repeat season. But this was all fine because the Nanders sale and a decent run in the Europa League has left us with a £6.5mil budget for next season, so we're actually playing properly now. We picked up 5 wins in the Europa League league phase - beating Fenerbahce, Nice and Union Saint-Gilloise as real highlights. We finished 11th, beat Hajduk Split 3-1 on aggregate but then went out 4-0 on aggregate to David Moyes' Tottenham (). We started badly, finished badly but had another very good run midseason. I've bought an Armenian winger to replace Sanders and upgraded parts of my team so will be intrigued how high up I finish this year. Should in theory be stronger, but I feel like despite coming 4th we were miles off the top teams this time. AEK were definitely going to haul us in if there were even 1 or 2 more games. I think the game probably underestimated us in the first season now takes us a bit more seriously. Highlight result was winning 0-5 at Panathinaikos - absolutely ridiculous freak of a score.
