Do they even know who they want as the next manager? I bloody hope so. They have to have an idea of candidates, with an idea of their requirements and general interest. I’ll be ****ing worried if they don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryDee8 Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 Does anyone know the full reason Why we didn't buy any players? We needed strengthening. Had all summer to do it, get the players bedded in and be ready for the new season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board have decided relegation gets you out of it. High fives all around the board room. Seriously, the main reason given is that our wages are too high in comparison to our turnover which means we will be in breach of FFP if we carry on. The board decided to apply breaks and consolidate for a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On form Soyuncu and Ndidi were 60m+ players, Vardy on form, Barnes and Justin on form, Maddison and Dewsbury, seems good enough to me but that's only if we had someone who wanted to play football and not sideways ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Russell Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 We are in big trouble guys. But this club has some real grit and an amazing way of surprising us, I’m not giving up and I want Brendan to dig deep and show us what he’s got. Up the City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently they are not good enough, but have the ability if a manager can get a tune out of them. I don't really think so. Castange could be decent defensively but Soyuncu will have his head turned because his contract is up and honestly I think 2019 Soyuncu was a fluke and not the normal Soyuncu. Evans is frankly too old now and statistically this season has been much worse than Amartey so far. Amartey has never been good enough. The only way we can fix the defensive issues is by buying center backs. We need 2 new good center backs if we want a sniff of top 8 again. We can't concede 2 goals every game and still get top 8. The current center back options will never be good enough. Edited 27 August 2022 by Fightforever 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLAN Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 Both goals today are a lack of defensive awareness / decisions making. Rodger’s has done nothing over 18 months to address this weakness 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger’s has done nothing over 18 months to address this weakness I hate the needle dick midget as much as the next man, but the reality is there isn’t much to work with. Cags fingered his wife (or ran over his dog, not sure), so isn’t allowed to play. Fofana turned into a complete pr*ck. During his injury Justin completely forgot how to defend, and Evans is about 50, can barely run, and due an injury any day soon. Amartey wouldn’t get into my sons under 11s team, but seems to be undroppable. His money laundering mate Bertrand needs an amputation, and I can only presume that Rodger’s played Vesty on FIFA in some sort of cheat mode before advising hitting the panic buy button last year. I’m pretty sure when Rodger’s did all his badges, he didn’t think his work life would sink this low. The only thing that gives me satisfaction right now is that he must be fuc**ing miserable, and wondering what to do with his life. I’m sure his wife closes her eyes and does a deep breath everytime he brings Cags into a conversation.
