Feel sorry for Clasie.

I think a more appropriate analogy would be Branfoot replaced by Ball.

I think the analogy is wrong. Nicholl played a real attacking game. Puel is more Branfoot, so that's where the analogy falls down.

Must be a reaction to season ticket renewal numbers. Seems Puel will be off. Does the board restructure give Les more influence?

I'm convinced that we should dispense of Puel's services, but I'm not convinced that Silva is the right man for the job.

Something else being: His is tactics are poor. His substitutions are poor. His team selections are baffling. He has lost the dressing room.

You are certainly right about Birmingham. Ok, it's a mistake by Les, a pretty bad one, as I said, he hasn't made many.

Very well-researched post. The club's 'due-diligence' obviously wasn't up to much. Les Reed has done a lot of good things at the club, but the appointment of Puel is an absolute car crash.

Just seen him on Sky saying it was a good performance! Beggars belief, it really does.

Redmond's shot aside, we were poor going forward, very pedestrian in midfield, and defended poorly for both goals. In short, a typical performance from Puel's team. He cannot be risked next season.

He'll only let her sing the first half of Foxbase Alpha before subbing her to protect her voice. Wouldn't be a bad outcome if he goes there, especially with his wife struggling to settle, and him being our worst manager since Wotte and his mate.

Just think where we could have been if we had a manager who knew what he was doing and inspired the players.

Do the French get tax allowances?

Maybe they should be beheaded with a rusty blade and then put it on YouTube.

The difference being that Puel does it home to Hull as well.

It really isn't Davis position. We've known that for a while. I went to the WBA game, and Clasie was great in that role. Today's selection is another puzzling one. Hope it works, but I doubt it.

You are going to a lot of trouble doing your research for an occasional poster on this site. Just saying.

Good point, but am I wrong in thinking the FA have already turned Lander down? I thought it had been reported in the press.

Which is is why I think the FA (or whoever it is), will be a lot stricter now. Especially considering how awash with cash football is now.

Can someone more informed than I am tell me if I'm right or wrong?

The fact remains that if Lander don't pass the FPPT they won't be allowed to buy the club. Apparently, the club were told they wouldn't, and then the stuff about Lander's head honcho being involved in a massive bribery scandal comes out. It doesn't exactly improve his chances does it. The authorities have rightly been criticised in the past for letting all sorts of crooks and chancers buy clubs. I think they are tightening up their act. From their perspective, Lander shouldn't be allowed to buy the club because they don't have a pot to ****** in and they have been involved in illegal activities (bribery) on a grand scale. I'm still hoping Lander are being used as a smokescreen to allow the real buyers privacy until the deal is signed. I just can't see how Lander will be allowed by the relevant authorities to own a Premier League club.

F*ck me, Claude Puel must be sh*tting himself.

If Puel 'resigns' because of his wife's inability to settle, then Les comes out of it ok.

Apparently not, if you believe the stories.

I thought the Lander deal was dead because the top man had been bribing some bent politician who was executed. Hardly looks good on your CV when trying to past the FPPT.
