Given what Solak said in his interview about seeing an exciting team you're probably right.

I can't see a world in which THB stays. We will have to sell at least two key players I'd imagine. THB and Jander would be my guesses. Also Charles if he doesn't want to sign a new deal. I think Scienza might stay though.

Alfie House made a good point on TSP earlier. Players have been banned for 6-8 games for biting and racially abusing opponents. Yet we spy on a few training sessions and get kicked out of the richest game on football, a points deduction AND our manager potentially banned for 6-12 months!? Football is in the gutter these days. Absolutely ridiculous.

If we sign Larin, Peretz, Stewart and Bree up and announce a season ticket freeze then theres not much else they can do. That would be a bloody good start to the summer given everything that's happened.

All aboard the Tonda train

Solak interview is much better than anything the club (Parsons I presume) has put out since. @saintant will love the reference to in game cheating!

Out of them all Parsons needs to go the most IMO

That's true. I'll give them that.

What happens if he isn't banned, we sack him and get yet another dud replacement in and end up getting relegated. Would that be worth it? Granted it's a "what if" situation. But we know our track record for hiring managers is crap. Plus our squad is very likely to be weaker. So probably a worse squad and manager just to show we are doing the "right" thing.

Well yes. There's obviously a time pressure. I would say surely there's some sort of deadline but this is SR we are talking about...

As expected then. To be fair they can't come out and publicly back him, then he's banned a few days later. We'd then have to get rid and look even more stupid than we do now. Also sacking him now would be self sabotage in my book.

Their wage bill will be one of the biggest ever seen in the Championship I'd imagine, even with a relegation reduction in players contracts. They are going to have to offload a few, that's for sure.

Totally agree. Imagine replacing Jander with JWP 😧

End of last season
