Yep. That Blackmore interview throws up more questions than answers for me. He's clearly been doing as he's been told, but he doesn't say by who. He's content to point the finger of blame at his players, but he doesn't point the finger at them on the compromise issue. That could be him showing some restraint (bot his style though) or that he feels he can't say any more. I'm not convinced that Ralph had free reign over team selections, and I'm not convinced that Jones does either.

I get the impression that Rasmus thinks he's god, so you could be right.

I wander if that's what he was alluding to. Tactics and/or team selection being imposed on him.

Unless SR people are influencing the compromise. If it's them, they're arguably the bigger problem.

It's as intriguing as it is damning. Who is influencing his compromises? If it's player power, that suggests weak as piss management. If it's other coaches, it suggests he listens but doesn't trust his judgement. If, however, it's neither player nor coaches, it suggests influence from non football people. I'd like to know what the fuck is going on to be honest.

Thank you 👍

Was this after yesterday's game? Do you have a link please?

Agreed. I think he'll be gone before tomorrow. Even the imbeciles running our club must now accept that they've got it wrong. If they don't, and don't act, it's their ego and pride that'll put the nail on our coffin. Selles, Horseman, and JWP as caretakers would be better than the pile of shite we've got now.

I see Bazunu all the way over near his right hand post leaving the whole goal open. Shocking position.

I use cyberghost. No issues at all.

Paramount+. VPN set to Oz gets all FA cup and (i think) champions league games, set to Mexico gets all premier league games. English commentary on Oz, Spanish on Mexico. I've read that USA paramount+ has premier league via CBS but when I point my VPN to USA, the paramount+ doesn't want to know for some reason. Until I can find a way around that I'll listen to the Spanish which is quite entertaining, especially the gooooaaaaaallllll thing that seems to last about 10 minutes!

Nah. The Everton result / performance today shows what's possible with a premier league manager in charge.

Spot on. Anyone with half a brain could see this was a disaster from the word go.

He has to go today. There's zero sign that he can turn this around.

Yep. Agreed. Criticism of him as a manager is justified. Any personal stuff is unnecessary.

This genuinely is worse than the branfoot. We at least competed under him. It was just turgid football, and his dislike for MLT I didn't like.

Easter? We'll be toast by valentine's day.

Oh FFS. This idiot needs to go today. I would genuinely take Big Sam. Fuck it, I'd take Paul Doswell.

To be fair, Walcott has replaced Edozie who was shit. Alcaraz has replaced Lavia.

This is painful. The players look clueless. No confidence.

Lavia off! Crazy.

Jones must be the only manager ever who doesn't agree with the concept of starting your best team. Dinlo.

Nope. I just don't get the fuss about him. Heavy touch, no end product. Loads of promise, and great dribbling, but he's a long way from good enough at this level.

Sulemena jogging back there, eventually.

It's not a discussion. It's an easy yes.
