It’s time to get the band back together Rasmus….

I mean, clearly, I was joking.. but it doesn’t matter if City trigger the buy back clause. If the player would rather go to Chelsea, he can.

All part of the Chelsea’s master plan to get Lavia. City would never sell him to chelsea. Get this little bald midget to come to us, convince City to sell them, then fuck off to chelsea and take him with ya… Sneaky bastards. Would never have happened under Cortese. The bald fella’s head would be outside St Mary’s just at the thought of using us like that.

Agree. He’s not any worse than Adam Armstrong..

So the 4 that actually start are competitive, those who don’t (the really young ones) aren’t there just yet… shock horror. The biggest issue here is that previous solid performers l, JWP, Stu, Che have all significantly regressed.

To be fair, we clearly tried and got played / fucked around by the agent / club of that lad at PSV. From what I’ve seen, he certainly appears to have been the missing link. That being said, I think the fact we no longer have an Ings or Broja, it goes to show that Ralph’s good runs we’re basically off the back of a top quality striker rather than his own performance.

Who of the players we’ve signed and start, do you not think are good enough to be competitive?

It’s because the likes of JWP, Stu Armstrong and Che have significantly regressed. We’ve not been able to get the best out of Adam Armstrong, ever. He literally come as nothing more than a decent goal scorer, he’s void of all confidence and now can’t even do that. Our back 4, especially CB’s are arguably the best since Fonte / VvD. Put it this way, a club of our size won’t get much better than JWP, Salisu, ABK, Perruad. “Far from competitive” is just a total load of shite. We had people arguing we had a stronger squad than Villa a year ago ffs.

Rubbish. KWP, Salisu, Bella-Kotchap, Lavia, JWP (arguably) are all top 10 players. It’s yet to be seen how good the likes of CC & AMN are, but they come with a decent enough reputation to say they are solid enough PL players - along with the likes of Aribo, Stu Armstrong and Che (arguably). For me, the jury is out on the likes of Bazunu, Our LB’s, Odozie - all whom have potential but maybe not the consostenty to be considered solid PL players. In short, I’d say that at least 8 of our starting 11 are players who are comfortable mid-table premier league players.

Rejected wolves because his father is ill. I know we’ve an airport with direct links to Spain in 2 hours, but I highly suspect, he’d reject us for the same reason..

This is the problem. Imo semmens position became untenable the moment we had the last fans forum and he said what he did. New owners were supposed to bring optimism. We were never going to be a city, Chelsea, Newcastle but there was hope we could ‘punch above our weight’ and be a Leicester (I.e us under poch Koeman etc.). Regardless of ambition of the club, performances and results for the past 30+ games are completely unacceptable.

Is that why you spent a few months under a different account trying to educate us on your superior football knowledge…? Ceilings, XG and management potential…

@Monk give cowley a thanks, giving our boys more experience at men’s football in 90 minutes than going the full way in this cup.

It’s like the police, when the law is no longer feared, the respect is gone. You need to have a bit about you to be a ref, either in chat or physique. When you’ve got neither, you’re in for a hiding.. sometimes literally.

I really don’t think AMN is a CM. If he is, he’s pretty shit (based on what we’ve seen so far).

You’re going to be very disappointed.

Yes, the Russians who’ve a history of acting like a big bully (for example state backed assassination’s on British soil), are the innocent party here… You’re unwell manji son. Let’s hope MI5 have a track on your internet history, because based on the shit the dribble on about on here, fuck knows what your capable of.

A few turned their nose up at Howe. What I’d do to have him here now. One even turned their nose up at Broja. this forum does bring out a few idiots…

How much wedge would it take to persuade the ex PSG and Ex Chelsea manager to the club? One of whom has previously managed us and another who’s previously rejected us. much like us, I’d expect they want to move forwards not backwards. Any thoughts of poch or Tuchel are fanciful

I’ve had suspicions that Bad Wolf was ‘Twar’ for a while. Fairly certain it is, just without the idiotic opinions to go with it, which has to be said, make the forum a better place. apart from his recent opinion on Rodgers, that one is pretty stupid.

Agreed, but that doesn’t mean we need to keep Ralph. Every game that goes by with him in charge is another 3 points gone. We could stick the assistant in charge for 2 weeks, it might work, it might not. The only thing we know for certain is it won’t work with Ralph there, so I don’t see the Harm in trying something different.

A name I’ve not seen on here in a while! IIRC, you had a few loose connections in the past, heard anything about Ralph / his replacement?

He’s not had enough time and this isn’t his squad!!!!

They own 80% the other 20% is owned by a women who inherited the club and has 0 interest in football. Ultimatley, it’s SR funding the club, they absolutely should have the definitive say in if he stays or goes as it’s their asset. If the old guard don’t like it, then they can leave.
