Yeah that's where I'm at. However, Reed should go too.

Club surveys about "match day experience" - we just want to experience a win or even a goal ffs, couldn't give a **** about burgers, brass bands, PA systems, fireworks, light shows. The product on the pitch is the only thing that ****ing matters - and it is sub standard.

Ross Wilson is to recruitment what Shane Long is to goalscoring.

Did he go lame?

Agree with all of that. We lacked mobility up front and wide - I haven't seen anything so far from Elyounoussi to think he will make an impact this season, seems off the pace and was slow to track back at times. Our corners and attacking set pieces generally continue to be a complete disaster.

I'd say a combination of both but successive managers have failed to get the best out of them so you have to conclude the squad is extremely average and/or the make up of it is all wrong - 3 left backs, 1 right back, 4 goalkeepers, very similar strikers, lack of pace, Pelle and Mane have never been replaced, no leaders, just being examples off the top of my head. We have been left with a bloated squad full of mediocrity and lacking in quality - it is a damning indictment that only one of our summer signings started yesterday and two were not even on the bench. The recruitment policy, assuming that there is one, is at best disjointed and at worse negligent.

Ross Wilson has been responsible for scouting and recruitment since 2015, from which time we have witnessed a succession of failed transfers, bizarre contract decisions and extremely poor transfer windows. Reed is ultimately responsible as Wilson reports into him but you have to question what on earth the guy is thinking and whether in reality he is just not very good at his job. Poor decisions have cost the club millions, he is lucky to still be in a job imo.

Clearly Toby is a disciple of Ralph.

Because they aren't very bright.

This hits the nail on the head for me. It is shambolic from the top down.

Bournemouth play as a team and have a far better balanced squad than us.

I think that the praise was being heaped on Howe rather than Bournemouth, and well deserved it is too.

Everton were 100-1 to win just before they scored

I don't think Hughes is entirely to blame. After the near miss last season we needed revolution not evolution - at least 10 of the players in the current squad should have been shipped out with a new spine and pace brought in. Sadly Les, Ralph and Ross have been found wanting in all areas. The finger of blame should pointing at them.

It won't make any difference. We have **** players.

We Munch On!

About time the club put their core focus on the product on the pitch, not fannying around with pyro shows, US coaching initiatives and growing our presence in China (which won't happen).

Have decided to go to the Joshua fight instead so 1 x Adult and 1 x Concession available at face value. PM me if interested.

The French President is called University of Bolton??

Saints Win = no credit for Hughes Saints Loss = all Hughes fault

Indeed so sadly we are lumbered. Gao seems ok with letting these clowns run things anyway.

Have to agree with this - Reed and Krueger need to go.

He answered his own question lol

Reduced to £40 for the pair as still loads left.
