Katalinic

I suspect if we re-visited the "Lambert signs" thread there would be similar comments.

Heard a snippet that Hummel are being ditched at the end of the season. Looks as though an initial 5 year contract was signed but given the distribution issues maybe a break clause has been exercised. Just passing on what I've been told.

If I was Saints I would say the fee has now gone up to £60m, see how desperate they really are.

I'm not so sure about that. I think he felt it was time to move on, just a shame it was on a low. The meltdown on here would have been worse if we were still in the PL and he had left. In some ways having the excuse of relegation helps all parties.

Brutal but long overdue.

Either way, the sooner the better.

Saudi more likely

No I heard this, it was the opposite I think. Peterborough were interested in one of our players who decided to go somewhere else, I assumed it to have been Nlundulu as we haven't sold anyone else around L1 level. Was very complimentary about Ankersen and Martin though.

The funding gap even with parachute payments is apparently £60m according to someone I spoke to who works at the club. Some areas are being cut quite deep - paying the price for other's horrendous decisions sadly.

Hopefully a points deduction kicks in next season for Everton - a long, slow, painful relegation.

Couldn't give a fuck if the whole lot left. Never disliked a squad so much as I do with this bunch.

It's when they start "swooping" that we need to worry.

Very happy with that. If we can sort out our final ball/crossing we might get ourselves out of it.

Selles out. Joking apart, this squad is horrific - too many passengers, too many bottlers, fuck all on pitch leadership. We deserve to go down.

Been told that the way the players have bought into him is reminiscent of Poch and Koeman - players love him, staff love him and there is a feeling of unity which has been missing for years. RS is incredibly hard working, always first in and last out.

So obvious what was going to happen and he did nothing. Jones Out obviously but the board should take a long hard look at themselves, not sure I trust them to pick a replacement.

Excellent, sack him for gross misconduct and avoid the pay off.

Already signed for Bolton, our top target gone, FFS Saints.

Ings is on £150k a week at West Ham and would have fallen into the exact category that you want us to avoid. Only interested in money.

We also seem to finally have woken up to the dark arts of narkiness, shithousery and effective time wasting.

This is spot on. In defence of Pilchards also I have been told similar i.e. Jones is popular with players and staff, much more so than RH was.

I hope his contract has got a probationary clause 😬.

Hopefully he has been convinced by seeing the list of other signings we are making.

I've been saying all week that you can't sack a manager after a handful of games, then I watched that horror show and I've changed my mind. It was that bad. Totally out of his depth I'm afraid and the post match comments have only strengthened my view.

Loser mentality.
