This is what I hope what happens in the New Year.
1) We sack yet another manager. The pre- season results were a true reflection of his abilities and Leicesters mid season slump proved he was one dimensional.
2) Sell all the goalkeepers, at least two CHs, Two midfielders, one wide player and one CF.
3) Run the owners out of town and ask another group of Americans to take over the club particularly those great benefactors of football the Glaziers or a wonderful English owner like SJR and his green company INEOS.
4) Ground share with Fulham or move the whole club to a developing new town near Bath.
5) Takeaway all concessions and double the price of food and drink within the stadium while maintaining the below standard crap current on offer.
6) Give Sadiq Kahn a knighthood.
7) HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my fellow posters and of course the mighty Ed's.

At least one of your wishes has already come true Tom ;-)
Happy New Year.

Tom, don’t get me started about Knighthoods. You should only get one if you can ride a horse in full armour and slay a dragon.

Very enjoyable satire Tom - unless more than the Sadiq Kahn knighthood comes true! - and Very Happy New Year to you, all others on this site and of course the wonderful editors (thank you Eds all) and will raise a glass again to Ed02 tonight as well.
Would just add Tom that I also recall very many Christmas period/ mid- season bad patches in the past - including under Lampard first stint, Conte and Benitez - that still saw us winning a trophy or being top 4 by end of the season. Have spmetimes wondered hopefully whether itcwas a deliberate easing off even if hardly seems likely. But here's hoping this will be a short bad patch and come May 2025 we will bevtop 4 plus a trophy (surely Conference League?! ) . Will be raising a glass to this hope tonight anyway and we are in a better position in league at this stage than in many recent seasons.
