Any takers? https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-no2-zeljko-buvac-quits-12452457

Would those players have signed new contracts knowing they had better offers elsewhere? Other than Mané (out of contract this summer) and Van Dijk, everyone else would have left on free transfers by now. Even Leicester couldn't hold on to Kanté when they had just won the league, jumped ship to the club that had just finished 10th first chance he got. As I see it our problem was precisely the opposite, we didn't get rid of enough players. We lacked ambition and gave the mediocre supporting cast new contracts instead of looking to upgrade them so we regressed when the players we bought weren't up to the standard of the ones we lost. Yeah, it's all quite pointless, even Spurs fans are feeling the same way believe it or not, hoping they win something before their current team is dismantled by the parasites. It's what happens when the governing bodies abdicate their responsibilities and let clubs regulate themselves, the most powerful ones just stack the deck in their favour.

He will be gone at the end of the season unless he gets a new contract, getting ripped apart by one of the worst teams in league is not the way to get it. I never wanted him in the first place but I certainly did not expect him to make us even worse. Nothing from Hughes' career or the short time he has been here would make me want to extend his stay beyond the end of the season.

Honestly he looks like a defensive midfielder playing out of position, his aerial game isn't a mere weakness, it is appalling. Cannot understand why Yoshi has been dropped.

Hughes? After the last game? Absolutely not! It is quite a feat to make us even worse than we already were. Adi Hütter from Young Boys for me, bring back high pressing.

Damn, you're right, didn't see that coming. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/may/18/nottingham-forest-evangelos-marinakis-takeover In other news that I stumbled upon while looking into this, how hard can the championship really be? https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/sport-opinion/give-danny-fox-new-contract-1411967

Can this guy be our president? We also play in red and white stripes. https://www.besoccer.com/new/olympiakos-president-fines-players-and-sends-them-on-holiday-with-three-games-left-to-play-404571 "I and the rest of the fans have tolerated you enough. You will leave today and go on holiday" "The amateur teams live with the basics, they love Olympiakos and their supporters much more than you do" "(You think more about) the nice houses you live in and your cars and don't care about the team" "I pay millions for you to have everything. With your actions I fired three coaches. But at the end it looks like you were at fault." The bit in bold sounds familiar.

Oh give over. What is the excuse for the 22 points from our final 21 games last season? Neither Puel nor Pellegrino were nobodies with a track record of failure when we hired them. Look at Schneiderlin after he got his big move, since handing out new contracts we have a whole squad of Schneiderlins and what is worse is that that attitude infects the new players that come in to the squad. Face it, this is the most dislikeable, mercenary, spineless bunch of cünts we have ever had, they are uncoachable.

Other than Van Dijk and Mané (who would be out of contract this summer), everyone we sold would have left on free transfers by now. If anything the problem has been the exact opposite, we kept and gave big new contracts to the mediocrity that stayed. And now that they have their contracts and have accepted that the big clubs won't come in for them they no longer care.

More obvious than ever before that Puel and Pellegrino were never the problem. Our players are cünts that don't give a sh!t, this squad needs to be ripped apart.

Adolf Hütter. And not just for the name! This article is from September: https://www.esdfanalysis.com/manager-analysis/adi-hutter/ Right now his team are 16 points clear of Basel at the top of the Swiss league. And Basel have won the last 8 league titles. Admittedly his name and nationality are a big part of the attraction.

That will change once he meets our sh!thouse players. He will be a broken man in 2 months' time.

Only 60 days to go. At least he won't be here any longer than that.

Think the damage was already done, he just didn't do anything to undo it. This season has been coming since the second half of last season. I am having a hard time believing that both Puel and Pellegrino are this bad, something is very, very wrong with the players.

28 points from 30 games. We got 22 from our last 21 last season so he didn't really make us any worse, not that it could get much worse. So yeah, that's about it, he was sh!t but we were already sh!t although not making us more sh!t than we already were is not much of an accomplishment.

Rather get relegated than hire Mark Hughes or any other of the LMA mob. We need to rip this squad apart anyway so doesn't matter much which league it happens in, it would just be one year in the championship so better off getting someone who will get us straight back up and survive the first year back.

Can we have Vardy on loan for the weekend?

Yes. The 80s are long gone.

Hoedt's aerial numbers are really strange: 2014-15 (AZ) 86/121 - 71% 2015-16 (Lazio) 34/67 - 51% 2016-17 (Lazio) 53/63 - 84% 2017-18 (Saints) 24/58 - 41% Maybe he needs a season to get adjusted? Or he is very good one season and crap the next? His numbers are all over the place.

Release clauses have to be paid up front, I would expect that to be the problem. Nothing new there, we once thought going in to a premier league season with just Kelvin and Gazza was a good idea. Our blind spot when it comes to goalkeepers has been one of the most irritating things about us over the last 5.5 years. It has cost us every season.

Is the correct answer, I don't care how long he has on his contract. That new contract was the low point of the summer, couldn't believe it, what the hell was Les thinking?

There are other things about him that can be criticized (he's a bit slow, his all round game is nothing special), but his goal scoring record at Monaco is not one of them. Only the mathematically illiterate on here seem to think we should just look at his goals per game stats and ignore how many minutes he gets per game.

A goal every 91 minutes since the start of last season is goal shy?

We wasted a month? How would you know that? Because we didn't sack Puel straight away before we had a replacement? 3rd or 4th is quite high up the list if the likes of Tuchel are at the top, or would you prefer we aim low just so we can say we got our first choice? And no, we didn't have to sack him, but go back in time and tell that to the simpletons we have for fans, that's what you get for playing to the crowd. It wasn't during the season, the players were on holiday, we didn't need to have anyone in place immediately to take charge of training or games, we just needed to know we had a successor when we fired Puel. Alavés' season finished on May 27, 18 days before Puel was fired, is it not likely that it was during those 18 days that everything was agreed between Pellegrino and the club instead of the 9 days between Puel's sacking and the official announcement? If we had official matches scheduled at that time we would simply have sacked Puel on June 23. Just because Pellegrino isn't the right man doesn't mean there was any dithering, he was high on Sevilla's list, he will have been quite high on ours too, other than Tuchel we don't know of anyone placed above him.

We don't know when the decision to sack Adkins was taken, could have been months before he was actually sacked. We may have decided to sack Puel before the season ended but only made it official once Pellegrino was secured. We may have already decided to sack Pellegrino and are waiting on the new guy, or not. Everton and Stoke are examples of clubs left floundering when they sack a coach without much of a plan regarding who to hire. We might not always get the right appointment but we, like Watford, certainly don't flounder.
