there'll be a lot on the manager now, on whos next etc.
but needs to be so much more focus further up. what on earth do our SDs do? we have spent 2billion under this ownership and our squad is terrible overall so unbalanced - lacking any real quality in attack bar palmer. Cbs a mess, keeper bang average and midfielders not really impressive other than caicedo.
where has all the money gone? what's the plan? someone like gittens a prime example- he looks championship level yet we've spent 50m on him to replace mudryk who was even worse.
now incredibly worried about the state of the club going forward. where has the drive to win gone? does no one care about inning? sick of hearing about young players, projects and resaler value. how about the club focus on one word. WIN.

I agree about winning being the focus. I do not agree about our players. I think most managers would welcome the chance to be in playing control of our squad.
01 Jan 2026 17:51:37
Agree TOM we have a good squad that will perform for a good few years winning should be the priority.

I do agree that the SD's do and have been deserving of criticism and a real look at. I disagree on the notion there goal is just to make money on player sales though. If that is there goal they've done horrifically so far. I think there's only 2-3 players we'd make a profit on though im probably being slightly harsh.

Pull the other one tom …which players we have a squad full of ‘he might be decent in a few years’ where are the solid players now? We have maybe 5/6 players ready for top level and the rest nowhere near… just one massive waste of money and its embarrassing to even try and defend it …the club has not learnt its lesson and will continue making the same mistakes it looks like.

Kazblue, I’m not sure what’s embarrassing if I’m happy enough with the majority of our squad.
I would sell, Tosin and Badiashile for another centre half. I would buy Anderson from Forest but that’s just because I rate him highly and I would also take a keeper but only Costa. My number one choice as a CF last summer was Sesko and I can’t say I’ve seen any outstanding CF I would sign so far this season.

Its embarrassing to be happy with mediocrity when youve spent like we have…. We have done a terrible job of transfers . maybe the worst ever and yet the SDs are cushy in their jobs … dunno what you expect by throwing in inexperienced managers repeatedly with a squad more imbalanced than my vertigo suffering gran
You think the likes of palmer caicedo estavao will stay at this circus forwver?

Kazblue, you are obviously entitled to your opinion but so am I. My opinion is not more or less embarrassing than your opinion of our players and club.
01 Jan 2026 22:23:19
Your opinion is embarrassing Tom… you don't have to defend everything the club does.
02 Jan 2026 04:51:41
Kazblue, I will be critical when i think it’s deserved and give praise when I think it’s deserved not just because other posters want me to agree with their opinions.
I repeat, calling other peoples opinions embarrassing is in itself embarrassing.
02 Jan 2026 10:18:27
I have to say that i agree with Tom, we have a number of players that will get much better but it depends if the club allows them to do so.
02 Jan 2026 13:32:01
Not really Tom- you parrot the club lines and defend the ownership at every opportunity- despite them absolutely destroying the club so far- awful on and off the field and with a clear aim of fleecing rhe club…no idea why you're so defensive of the ownership.
02 Jan 2026 14:06:57
Your use of phrases such as embarrassing and absolutely and fleecing are your opinion. I wi respect your opinions.
I will try to make my opinions objective in the context of negative or positive and when I don’t know the facts I will usually mention that I am guessing.
