Willo of Whiteley

That report is pretty damning. He’s done.

Will be interesting to see how much the players love him now. Wonder whether opinions would change if he was the difference between the likes of Harwood-Bellis staying, or Peretz signing? Etc

One outlet reported Southampton players were at Staplewood today. 1) I wonder if that’s true and 2) If that was the case, imagine being a fly on the wall

It’ll be interesting to know what the players think of him now. There was clearly admiration previously.

This entirely. It’s not difficult to sack someone when you’ve got evidence if they’ve admitted wrongdoing.

There are other Scienza’s out there, ones that stay on their feet. I think Jander will go back to Germany and we’ll probably get £10-15m for Charles. That’ll balance the books straight away. It’s not the exodus I’m bothered about, we can’t affect that now, it’s who we bring in. Who will want to sign if you have a lowly regarded manager or one that’s openly cheated?

Could not disagree more. Knee-jerk reaction? Reactionary reaction, yes. But completely and utterly justified. If your business has been brought into disrepute you put distance between you and the problem, well this is a huge f****** problem.

It’ll be nearly seven years into their ten year plan, whatever that was.

Shea Charles will go, I’ve been saying it for a while. One year left, deal has been on the table forever. Once the dust settles it’ll be easier to tell which players will stick around and which won’t. Players like Harwood-Bellis, Scienza, Jander wouldn’t begrudge going because they’ve done very well. I think the likes of Azaz, Fellows etc will still be here as they’ve only just signed long term contracts and we aren’t like to recoup any money we spent on them. Right now it’s very much reactionary for players and fans alike. It’s important to get the manager right. Get the manager right and that might make players think “yeah I’ll have one last crack at it”. Also worth bearing in mind that these guys are human, much like our places of work some have young families, they have comfort, stability, that’s why a lot of people don’t change jobs. Aside from the money I think we’ve got some much smarter players that may consider things like that too.

Why would they stick around? Theyve proven they can do it at this level. Go to a club that isn’t a basket case

“I wonder if Dragan Solak will sell?” Who the fuck would buy us? Give us stability? Some proper footballing decisions?

They need to pay out on a real manager now. They need to get fans onside and players onside, and also in the door. The most consistent, constant and costly mistake the club makes is this. Five years now. Remember this, when we hired Nathan Jones Villa hired Unai Emery - they just secured Champions League again and won the Europa League.

I want this saga to end with Boro tears

Nathan Jones did a good job keeping Charlton up 👀😂

Ironic that two weeks ago we were probably saying to Ross Stewart “no contract unless you stay fit” and now we’ll be desperate to have a striker of his calibre.

They’ll 100% win. It’s written in the stars for those northern twats.

You could in theory say it was a strong season in terms of bringing players in, albeit some took a while to get going. However, all of this debacle brings a stain on the club. How many are going to be here next season? Who knows. It’ll be interesting to see how quickly that “love for the club” evaporates after a scandal like this.

It’s alleged, there have been so many reports I’d say calm the fuck down first of all. If he has been part of the spying then 100% he needs to be gone. I’ll reserve judgement on him for now, given that the coaching staff and management staff and then no doubt the playing staff will be next.

It starts tomorrow morning. No excuses. The clear out must begin.

Operation “Get Hull Tickets” has begun!

Means absolutely nothing. Just means the club have longer to write their “we tried our hardest” statement

Villa 2-0 up in the EL final. Remember around the same time they got Unai Emery we got Nathan Jones.

Doesn’t mean we get the outcome we want

Got to admire people on Twitter that have said they’re constantly refreshing their news feed. Delusion at its finest thinking we’ll be at Wembley on Saturday. 😂

ITK status rescinded. 😂
