Bloated squad, best players (bar maybe KDH, who I hope to see captain this club) will go, likes of Vardy and Albrighton will be finished. Potentially an FFP bombshell on the horizon if we can't sort out the wage bill while signing off on the ground expansion. It kind of stinks of that turning point under Tater Peeler at the minute. I was only half joking when I asked the other day if Newport have checked Teletext for a new striker recently. C'mon lads, please turn it around, the doom and gloom is starting to get to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely see your point, and appreciate how you could feel that way, but I quite like the Premier League and see staying in it our No 1 objective before all else. The club can't afford to go down and IMO I dont see us keeping him if we stay in the bottom 3 for an extended period, and start seeing the gap to 17th widening too much.. The outcome of the next 2 or 3 games will be very interesting. But realistically 1 point from 5 games could be our fate by the end of month and possibly a 4 to 6 point gap opening up. Hopefully Top will see this is unacceptable and act before it its too late. It saddens me to say it, but if we get a REAL tonking tomorrow (thats the sad part) we may get the brilliant news Rodgers is given the chop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cropstonfox Posted 26 August 2022 Share Posted 26 August 2022 We are not Norwich. We are a big club now ,going through a rough time due to wreckless recruitment and bad overall management. We are wealthy enough to strip to the bone and reset the model. When we got promoted last time we were champions within 2 seasons. We need to get rid of Rogers one way or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing in the world that I could wish less than going back down to the absolute bunfight that is the Championship. It's a horrible league with also-rans and never-will-be's. Seriously, watch the "highlights" for 20 mins this week. We need a reset but not THAT reset. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I understand it, we could sell him for £200m and we still wouldn’t be able to sign anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fightforever Posted 26 August 2022 Share Posted 26 August 2022 I remember a statistic going around that we had the worst expected goals in the league's history before Fofana came back. Combined with the fact Vardy is not scoring at the other end we could be in huge trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have lost Schmeichel and Fofana we are ****ed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
