Lets wait until we've at least kicked a ball in the competitive season. Everyone seems to judge our success and current standing by rumours in the press and an interview given by our manager earlier in preseason, following comments he said in the heat of the moment to a loss against Forest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan is the reason, he’s out of ideas. Big squad rebuild bs and blaming everything but himself, this is why we’ll decline under him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone constantly deflecting criticism onto the squad, when clearly we have a strong enough team to be in the mix for Europe consistently cannot have longevity. He’s an arrogant, stubborn man that hopefully will not get his rebuild wish. There’s nothing wrong with our squad, it needs a RW and GK (maybe another CB).Hopefully we can move some of Brendan’s rubbish on to cut down the wage bill a bit and make a couple of additions. No rebuild required. Edited 31 July 2022 by SheppyFox 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to say I think he may ask to go and they may well stump up £50 million A huge backward step for the club and could be the start of the slide Three things….Seville played Arsenal yesterday…..so who knows what team they will put out, oh and Our Ladies national side kick off in a major final at exactly the same time, and it’s July, half the country are on holiday….might have something to do with it….

The schedule was made for the final ages ago, and in fairness who knew England would have reached it. Leeds have altered their kick off time today so fans can watch the ladies game.. would have been nice for us to do it too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal had 60,000 there yesterday, they didn't know what team Sevilla would put out either. During the time tickets have been on sale for our game no-one knew our Ladies national side would kick off in a major final at the same time, that has only transpired in the last few days and doubt it'd have a bearing on many peoples decision to holding off buying tickets anyway. Do Newcastle and Arsenal fans not go on holiday then? Granted Newcastle and Arsenal have bigger stadiums with bigger fanbases but sell outs compared to a half full stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 31 July 2022 Share Posted 31 July 2022 Why are we getting annoyed at our club when another club has put a bid in for one of our best players?

I know our club don't get everything right but we literally cannot control what another club does there is always a reason for a club bidding on a player. Otherwise they would be doing it left, right and centre. as I mentioned yesterday, newcastle have been given an indication that the player is either open to a move or that the club is open to a sale. My guess is it’s his agent encouraging interest in order to drive personal terms offers for him to show to us to drive a better contract renewal. the other possibility is that the club want to see if there is a huge sale out there for one of our ‘marquee players’. The big six and newcastle are the ones likely to pay over the odds. We wouldn’t sell any of them for market rate but if a ridiculous bid was incoming then business is business.

Big squad rebuild bs and blaming everything but himself, this is why we’ll decline under him. I have to agree. We have gone from a club with a plan, executed with reasonable success, to a club floundering in every department. Injuries have been horrendous, recruitment has been pitiful, scouting seems to have broken from where we were, team has stuttered and our manager seems incapable of any critical self reflection at all. He said we needed a team rebuild which could be seen as managing the coming seasons expectations early. We aren’t getting one, so if we stutter again it’s not his fault.
