Disco Stu

Anybody else concerned about being lumped with this guy for the next 3 years? I just don't think he contributes enough to warrant what I'm sure won't be a low salary.

Found this recent Ward-Prowse interview on Youtube for those who are interested. It's a Spanish channel but the interview is in English.

https://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/veljko-paunovics-message-reading-fc-20325992 Seems he has an arrogance about him which might not be a good thing. The kind of player to force a move if he had a good season?

I still feel an indifference towards Ralph at the moment but him admitting to his mistakes and making a quick change in our last game shows perhaps he is learning and that's a good start.

We don't hold leads. So predictable i didn't even feel anything when it went in.

We've just been screwed over again.

He will do everything in his power not to play the guy 🤣. Hopefully our midfield isn't too lightweight today. We'll need to keep them pinned back with our press.

We're going back a few decades for that.

Given our form this year, how can I predict anything other than a loss? I expect us to put in a decent half, maybe even take the lead, and then lose.

My point is it's an indication that's he's supposedly the next best option.

Yet he makes the bench every game. When Diallo is in such shocking form, it's logical to play your next best CM.

He didn't cause that result. When any other team goes down to 10 men, they don't capitulate and concede 9 goals 🤣 Truth is we haven't seen what he's about but we know that there's enough about him to be starting a game such as that.

He was given a start against Manchester United ffs. There's obviously something about him.

Hasenhuttl is the worst manager this year in our league (possibly in all of England, I haven't checked). I think there are many names worth considering that could do better. Thomas Frank Eddie Howe Robert Moreno Andre Villas-Boas Roberto Di Matteo Vincenzo Montella Leonardo Jardim Jurgen Klingsman Marco Silva Frank Lampard John Terry Chris Wilder

The moment we knocked the ball out of play for one of their players I knew we were too nice to see this game out.

Ralph out.

We lose every game. That's what we've done for months. Ralph Hasenhutl can't give us a complete 90 minutes.

It's like night and day!

I hope this isn't true but I wouldn't be shocked if it was:

I guess it would be impossible for the premier league to enforce it but I imagine given the government were threatening it, it's doable but perhaps only through legislation.

How did the Germans do it?

I support the 50+1 rule. This decision making behind the fans backs must stop.

Regardless if the super league is cancelled, measures now need to be implemented to ensure this can NEVER happen again.

It could also be said that the competitiveness that distribution brings is the reason the Premier League as a brand is so appealing. Give them what they think they deserve and everyone else disappears into obscurity and the league is suddenly less interesting. Likewise, a closed group such as the super league will lose it's appeal because sport without competitiveness and risk is not sport.
