But he wasn’t looking to play Wilf in a more attacking role. He did drop Facundo once for Wilf but that was to play a more defensive style.

One of the most unnecessary signings ever. Signed to play a position we didn’t need cover for, for a fee far in excess of his worth and a level of ability below those already in the squad. There was some ‘logic’ to other failed signings like Slimani and Musa but non at all for Skipp.

Yeah. There’s not one player in that squad who is irreplaceable. They can all be replaced quite easily with lower cost options. No one in that current squad would play in the prem (aside from Abdul) and very few would get in a promotion chasing championship side. Therefore why keep them and keep paying them wages beyond their ability or use? Abdul aside, who, hand on heart would you sign? Who would you think would warrant above 10k a week?

They all have to go. We don’t need any of them. This level is so bad that we can get players on a fraction of the wage that will still be head and shoulders above everyone else.

He’s not value for money at this level. Lincoln won the league with a wage cap of 3k. Souttar will be on about 10x that. No matter his ability you can’t justify that expenditure as it’s just not needed. The average league one club loses 100k a week. We are going to be so far beyond that it’s frightening

Okoli every day. Faes is not good and all the scouting said as much but Okoli makes Amartey look like prime Beckenbaur

Another Rodger’s legacy gone. We allowed him to squander so much money on dross.

Might just be me but the website is broken and you can’t actually buy the shirt. piss-up, brewery

“Think it was more getting them with kids. First real big clear opportunity for a generation to become season ticket holders.” That’s what I’ve done.

Nothing will make him change his ways. He was worse than Cooper and Ruud in the Prem. He ‘coached’ Rangers into not being able to defend. He’s taking on one of the worst defences in the history of the club and someone the club think this is the man to fix it

We’ll continue to recruit Southampton cast offs

That identity is an infinitely shitter version of what Enzo did. He’s a ****ing fraud.

No one wants this to fail. It’s actually that no one wants the players to be humiliated through an ill planned and executed event. We want the legacy of that achievement to be protected and treated with respect. The planned match is not a fitting tribute. The calibre of the opposition is not fitting. Our best ever squad have the honour of facing a squad which have no tangible connection to that season. We can honour the legacy in so many other ways which cost a fraction of the money but create a huge amount of goodwill. We could easily do a Q and A with the squad in the great hall - tickets would be free - followed by a signing session in the shop (if you wanted to claw some cash back you could sell replica shirts and various tat that people could buy to sign). There could then be a gala banquet in the evening for the squad to celebrate. (Again, if you then wanted to claw some cash back you could charge for a small group to attend that meal). Finally, at the end of the meal, you’d unveil plans for a statue in honour of Claudio alongside an annual 5000/1 award which the club would present to a local person who has done something incredible for charity or the community. What you wouldn’t do is tarnish their legacy by getting them to play against former Stoke City journeyman in a half empty stadium.

Sometimes nothing is better than something. they’re about to humiliate the members of the 2015/16 squad because no one has the guts to say this isn’t going to work.

That message suggests they don’t know how many they’ve sold which almost seems impossible to believe.
