We're barley relevant at the best of times in the eyes of Sky and PL, but in the one season we are involved in relegation, so potentially a topic of discussion, we have been so pointless that we're not even included in the debates about it. We've made our relegation irrelevant to the media, that takes some going. Shows how truly bad these players have been for us, in a season where it's so tight we're not even in the debate with 5 games to go. They should be handing their wages back to the saints foundation.

I think the sales are pretty realistic, but I'd add Tella and Ounaucu to that - no way we keep Tella, we should make a decent sum on him though. I think Onuachu will be on the first flight out of here, probably on the same plane as Orsic! In a few years time that'll be a great pab quiz question. DCC too - i think he'll join Orsic and head back to Croatia, it just hasn't worked out for him. I'd be quite depressed if we retained Lyanco, Diallo, Aribo, Moussa, Adam Armstrong or Theo though and it would suggest we haven't learnt a thing. They need to go by hook or by crook, possibly some loans and contract payoffs to get rid of those. CM is the clear gap given we'd lose JWP and Lavia, I'd also say we need two goal scorers and some better quality wide options. I'd also go out and buy some new CB's, and in essence just build a new spine to the team. We can then blood the likes of Edozie, Alcaraz, Larios, Ballard, Dibling, Doyle etc in and around accomplished players, rather than expecting them to run the show for us. When we last built a brand new team in L1 we sorted the spine out - Jaidi, Hammond, Butterfield, Kelvin staying, Lambo up top. Then we added Ox, Lallana and Morgan around them and let them flourish with more accomplished players and leaders around them. It's really achievable and within the realms to dominate the league if we get the big calls right, as financially we will be able to compete more than most. But getting the big calls right is my biggest fear given the horrific decision making up to now. I feel like it could quite easily go in the direction of Swansea/Stoke as it could go in the direction of Burnley. A big summer for the immediate and long term future of us as a football club. Get it wrong and some of us will never see top flight football again.

Exactly the sort of player we will be sniffing around. Not against it at all as he's talented, but so was Edozie, Mara, ABK etc etc. We need to focus on experience this summer (I'm not talking 30+ year olds, but we need to avoid more kids on day releases from school). Our B Team has done well enough to potentially provide some of that young talent this summer, whilst we focus on proven mid-20's upwards additions.

But our route out is 1) needing to win 4 games in a row, and 2) hoping other's drop points (we have to overtake everyone above us). We can only get 36 points, so even if we do the amazing thing and get 12 points out of 12 we'd still be relying on others above us dropping points. There is more chance of Michael Jackson performing at the Coronation Concert than us winning 1, let alone 4 football matches. It'll be done by next week.

So true. I don't know where he's ever got his reputation from, or his 6 England caps. I'm pretty confident that there are much better players in the lower leagues and even our academy. Him saying he'd like to stay here is out of desperation more than anything, he'll be struggle to find a club this summer methinks and he knows it. If we do sign him then I give up.

What an opportunity this is for Forest by the way, they couldn't have picked a better fixture at this stage of the season if they tried. Fighting for survival against a team that checked out of football in December and will finish 20th. Bit of a nightmare for Leicester/Leeds/Everton that this fixture is happening tbh.

Fraud of a footballer. First out of the door, don't let it hit you on the way out.

He's not a bad guy though apparently, so therefore you have to give him the benefit of the doubt (Plus he's a Liverpool player).

So because we've signed bad players, we need to keep the bad players, just in case we buy more bad players? Not sure I buy that. For what it's worth our signings of ABK, Lavia, Alcaraz, Tino are good picks for me. I also can't include Mara, Orsic or Onauchu in any comparisions as they simply haven't played enough. I wouldn't say any of the above are worse than Elyounoussi though, Lyanco/Armstrong/Diallo/Aribo are just as bad.

Not officially, but if we lose we could only get to 33 points, of which Forest would be on if they beat us. As close to official as you can get without it being official.

It just makes no sense to keep someone around if you don't rate him, he won't be any cop in the Championship, that league is on a different level to the SPL as well. SPL is more akin to L1/L2 really. If we manage to recruit worse than Elyounoussi then our recruitment team should be fined the cost of any transfer fees. Surely it's impossible to find worse.

They'll always be a laugh, brings a bit of light to a Sunday.

It's been on the table for quite some time, he wanted to see where we ended the season until he decided. Another player who thinks he's too good for the Championship, when realistically he probably isn't even good enough for that level. I'm so glad he won't be sticking around, but the worry is that we offered one in the first place.

For real? Seriously??? Come on! If we keep the likes of him around we'll be heading where Reading are going before long. He is a truly shit player. Ditto Moussa, Ditto Adam Armstrong, AMN etc. None of them should be here next year if we are serious about competing in that division.

1st half not so much, 2nd half was so bad though. We just wilted, looked like a lower league side against a higher league side (which we are), but some of the 'effort' put in during that 2nd half by some of our so called professionals should lead to some gross dismissals.

How many more managers are these players going to fall out with though? They've got no right to moan about coaches/managers after what they've been throwing in for years. I wish they'd hated the manager and he made their lives hell, but sadly they've got their mate in charge.

Thank fuck for that, but the worry for me is that someone still thought it was a good idea to offer him one.

Don't go all MLG on us! It's done, finished, stick a pin in it. No point looking into the remaining fixtures or any permutations. We will finish bottom, update Wikipedia now.

Him and Elyounussi were a disgrace when they came on, but not as bad as AMN. There are people who think we should keep AMN and Armstrong around for next season. I'd rather scrape my eye balls out than watch those twats play for us.

It's everything to do with the players, I'm surprised at how much they're let off sometimes. But the managers are also an enabler for their shitness. It is a bit like trying to polish a turd though, that's why it's a constant tombola team selection. Nothing sticks as it's all shit.

Well, that didn't go to plan for Leeds. I think they're doomed now, don't see a way out. 18th between Everton, Forest and Leicester now. If Leicester win on Monday night then you have to say it's a fight between Forest and Everton - and you just know Everton will scrape it.

Don't think it would have mattered who managed us, this bunch of players are gutless. But Selles hasn't helped himself, he is the ring leader for the cowerdness and the players love that as they can hide behind.

And one big negative of that is that no one will want them, so a lot of our budget is going to have to go on subsidising wages and contract pay offs.

Should rename it a lap of shit, a chance for us to all toss excrement at the overpaid twats. (Minus Lavia and Alcaraz)

We're about a zillion miles off, it's not even debatable really. There is no chance this team gets to 30 points, not a slither. We are bottom of the league and we will stay there, quite comfortably.
