Maybe the penny is dropping now what many said early on in the “Cifuentes out” thread - doesn’t matter who leads this group (realistically), it’s a mess. No one is sorting it out.

Pretty sure the OP is just taking the piss and so many have had a total meltdown over it. Classic foxestalk 😂

Even if that’s the case, not everything has to be either a joke or hyperbole on here. It would be great if there was some middle ground or common sense on here to counteract what we’re experiencing at the top. 

Really glad to read this thread because by the time I’d managed to get into town (and the ground) it hadn’t seemed like much had happened. On to the next one - maybe a sit in or something more…. Abrasive? This is a process, especially with our fanbase. Keep it up. 

Bit of me (and completely more likely) thinks this was also some propaganda from the board - get Enzo to attend and make the fans think we’re doing something ultra ambitious to take the heat off.

Gone on speculate?

Don’t know anything, but at the very least I would guess top and Rudkin are still barking up the wrong tree. If there was any hope of that ever happening I would imagine Enzo is currently in the process of blocking a few numbers 

Not gonna speculate on details because it will get laughed out of here, and rightly so, but I do find this a bit fishy. 

Not gonna get sucked in to the guff posted about Nelson on here, but him and Okoli are an awful partnership. Nelson desperately needs Lascelles or Vestergaard fit asap to actually get a chance. He’s a young lad constantly having to mop up a more senior Okoli’s mistakes.

Reckon he will bag a few, but not the numbers we need. He's still the best we got from the perspective of what he brings to our overall play though. Boro confirmed that Ayew is not that and never will be.

 

I'd put money on Richards outscoring both him and the lump this season if he gets even ten games in this side though. He's only got to get six goals for crying out loud! We'll have to see if Rowett is willing to give him a chance first. I really hope it's him and Patson on rotation before long.

Richards won't make another 6apps let alone score 6 goals. 

We’re in a world of shit but Rowett just makes you feel completely reassured. We needed him about 3 months ago and god knows where we’d be.

Play him as out false nine if it means I don't have to witness daka and co , stink the place up again 

I think Daka is poor, and Ayew is absolutely useless. But thinking that playing Jordan James as a false 9 is going to be effective is absolutely bonkers. 

I know they'll probably both only be on the bench but that news feels massive. Looking forward to Saturday. 

Mukasa up top is the only way you get all 4 in the same team in a balanced way - but I don't see Rowett going for that. James for Winks imo.

How was there a red card review for Kelly's 2nd yellow? 

Debating if it was a straight red. Mental. 

Rudkin is going to stay as DOF alongside a sports director and we're all going to be sat here purely speculating for the next XX years as to who does what. McCarron might well be a very good candidate (which I would lean towards) but this just creates an uncertainty with the fans designed to take the pressure/heat off Rudkin.

Didn’t witness it myself directly….anyone here on the coach in Rome?

 

 

This has me in stitches every single time it pops up. Its perfection.

This is something I don't understand, all the reviews appear to suggest that he does well when he plays, but 3 managers have now left him on the bench. What are we missing?

The managers are missing the bollocks to trust him over “established” players. 

These commentators are flabbergasted 

This league is absolutely dogshit. If you’re telling me that Preston team is 8th then I’d say it’s more about our players application, mentality and conditioning than it is their ability.
