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.

It was an inevitable outcome really, we took the lead so of course we weren't going to stay in front. We don't have the character to do that. That second half flattered us, could have easily been 6, 7 or more. Credit to ABK and Bednarek for at the very least throwing themselves in on that, the rest of the team chucked it in. Not that it isn't official already, but we'll have the R next to us after next Monday I imagine.

If in doubt, don't play a striker.

In terms of who will come down with us, I think today's game (Bournemouth v Leeds) is absolutely huge for Leeds. 'Must Win' ? After today their next games are Man City away, Newcastle, Spurs and West Ham away. Toughest run of the lot, so today has to surely mark a game they've got to get a win in if they stand any chance.

The club has become so focused on damage limitation and off the ball crap, that's why guys like Elyounoussi still get game time. He's a managers dream because he'll do what you ask him to do, as he probably realises he's stealing a living, so he'll work hard, track back, do everything he's asked for within a defensive shape etc - whereas more maverick type players possibly won't do that, they just want to attack and are a little more unpredictable. Hopefully the summer allows a reset on that front, I'm bored of us having this damage limitation mindset of what we do 'off the ball'. We're so predictable because of that and It's eroded any threat from our game. It's not like it even works as we still lose every game we play.

The other element was promoting JWP further advanced, which I do think suits him. He gets a little over run as a two, have always thought that. (Lavia covers a lot of ground for him, as did Romeu). The problem we had is that we had no competent midfield options to make that work, so we had Lavia going alone with Diallo being Diallo.

We hung him out to dry and decided to be clever by making him our main number 9. He is a very capable PL forward who will be an important member of the squad for most teams, IF he's partnered with the right sort of players. He isn't someone who can score on his own, but that doesn't mean he's crap. He will have lots of takers in the summer, he won't be here that's for sure.

This is one thing you can't deny, have said this before - they've put their money where their mouth is and have tried. We weren't perfect when they came in, let's not kid ourselves, we had lots of issues, failing people and were just keeping our head above water. Things needed to change and they have been an enabler for that financially. The 100% problem has been the decisions they've made and probably the people who have made those decisions. The right intentions were there I'm sure, but the execution has been catastrophic. It's like they don't know about football.

So much hard work to get us there, the battle with Huddersifled in league 1 every week (we won, they won, it was relentless). Then the mental toughness to stay top 2 in the Champ all season, and that Leeds away game....they were just not being beaten. Just imagine how Fonte, Lambo, Lallana,. Morgan, Hammond, Jos feel now watching these clowns toss away all that hard work and effort. Not even valiantly toss away either, just give up. That Promotion team united everyone, a real affinity with the City. This current lot will be forever despised as our worst ever team.

It was all well and good being visionary, but he was using someone else's money and had no means to fund the plans himself. He couldn't keep running to Kat to beg and borrow more of Markus wealth, thus his plan wasn't sustainable. I also know people who worked at the club when Cortese was around, he was absolutely HATED. People dreaded going into work, it was a dictatorship. The bloke was a loose cannon playing games with someone elses dosh and it was always going to end the way it did. I notice he never turned up at AC Milan.

Everything just feels a bit apathetic with us right now. The whole feel of the club is just ''oh well, shit happens''. I mean there were fans at the Bournemouth game who clapped the players off the pitch FFS. Seriously, they don't deserve our support right now! Have we been forced into believing the tripe that we have always been lucky to be in the PL or something?
