Keep

So have you 200m to buy thy club? I recall how miserable it was going to games when the fans were turnng on Rupert, the ground was half full and it fed onto the pitch. If you truly believe that havng marches or not spending in the clubs facillties will help I feel for you. The more we spend the more the club have to reinvest, the fanbase has been buffeted by bad ownership since SR took over, I for one wasnt elated when they took over as I thought Gao Semmens did ok with what we had (due to China restircting money going out) We had a bit of a decent time the promotion season , although that was just ok apart from the playoff games and Wembley that gave us the warm feeling of success.

Are you saying he was at fault for the goals? FFS The 1st goal was right in the corner (sadly I dont think we have a forward who could place the ball so well) the 2nd was going wide hit the player and McCarthy was flat footed and expecting it to go in when it came off the post and went past him (perhaps he could have reacted to that, but still harsh) and the 3rd it was a one on one and they again finished it well.

We seem to have a fan base of self harmers. When will we learn that you cant keep swaping managers. Give Still a fair crack at it FFS. I always thought that getting rid of Puel was a mistake, and we have lost our way since

He'll have to turn to modelling

Should stop shopping at Temu

Harry was an experienced manger, Bassett , Burley and others who failed, easy to pick a few who did ok. Still has not had long and quite frankly it makes me squirm when i read that we have one of the best squads in the Championship. Most of them are losers and then an influx of new players who arent settled yet. When will we learnn that you cant keep changing manager. If the board had listened to the fans when LM was first here we'd have never had the success we had in the 70's-80's

Crikey some people just seem to be able to chat their way into good jobs.

I think it is a harsh some of the comments on Paul Jones. Im sure he made a very imortant save when it was 0-0 at Dellhurst Park.

crikey, I suppose by the time he had moved his chair a little forward then back again, 5 times sideways, before moving it further back, until he was where he started, and saying that he wanted to be brave the time alloted had finished and so had to go and see them again and again

Perhaps the club need an expereinced CF like Frank Worhtington, somebody who didnt score many but he knitted the frnt players together, Bamford may be one to do similar

It is a terrible blow for Ross, how he must feel, and the terrible mess it must make to his mental health.For me a selfish fan, Im gutted and am angry at the club for leaving such an obvious hole in our squad by not buying a CF. Its difficult, I recall fns saying lets get Broja in the summer, pay what they want etc etc, but he has done little. The clubs policy of buying potential seems another masterplan by Rasmus IMO. So where do we go from here, I have said before I dont fancy going up this season as this squad would humiliate us more than last season. The recruitment team are not fit for purpose as the type of player we buy are not physical enough to cope with the physicality of the PL. IMO we need strong athletic players who are also have pace.

Not sure its down to coaching or coaches, IMo its down to the recruitment department. The best £5m we could spend is find who is sourcing the players at Bournemouth and pay them big wages to do their stuff here. It seems to me that for the last 10years they have hit the nail on the head and bought well. There may have been the odd dud but in the main they have bought well. Or we have seen them and choose others, I saw that a few years ago we were considering Semenyo when at BC, id hate to think who we chose instead!!

I knew nothing of Downs until he turned up. I saw his finish in the friendly and thought wow we have unearthered a gem, especially as Poch seemed to rate him, sadly he may be one of those gems that the Nigerian scammers try and sell on the internet to mug punters. I wonder if they have spors number 😀 I am not giving up on him as I truly hope he can put 2 fingers up at the fanbase, something that McCarthy could rightly donow as he has proved a lot of fans wrong.

He's a leftie and so I expect Gary Neville will betrying to get him a job as a pundit lol
