Really don’t understand what you are struggling to comprehend. He’ll be going as a back up, will play minimal games. And the club offered him a deal which he turned down. Are you genuinely going to be like this all summer? Tedious.

Is he quite used to taking players from us? Only ones I can remember since we came up are Wanyama and PEH, where they had one year left on their contracts and we couldn’t turn down the money. And with one of those in return we got arguably one of our best full backs for a number of years. Can you genuinely see Spurs forking out what it will take for us to sell (£60-70m I suspect)? They’ve already got £60m they’ll need to lay/ have laid out for Kulusevski and Bentancur, plus they need some full back improvements.

Just need City to fuck it up on Sunday to really put the icing on the cake of this rather forgettable season.

That says something when that still probably wouldn’t be enough to finish below us.

Fraid so, 15th no longer sewn up.

🥳🥳🥳

I thought we didn’t win that because we meekly surrendered in our champions league final last night??

Who cares about that, if things stay as they are… we’re guaranteed 15th! Get the champers out 🎉

And was Director of Football at an extremely well run football club, that saw them get promoted to the Premier League.

Other than the double barrelled boys, would people shed a tear seeing anyone else go? I wouldn’t. 9 going - would guess at; Forster, Stephens, Romeu, Redmond, Long, Bednarek, Djenepo, Broja, Valery

They only bought the club in January, not sure what investment was to be expected at this point? We were in a decent run of form and there’s no real value in the January window. Makes sense for them to use that time wisely, assess the club inside and out and work out what they want to do long term. Id also like to think Ankersen helped run a successful operation at Brentford and Dragan made his money not by being a mug. And why buy the club? Not to make a quick buck, as there’s fck all worth much in this squad. Relegation will be a massive loss to them, so they are not going to just let this slide. Obviously if nothing has changed at the end of the summer window then we’ll be in the shit.

Pretty sure it was Brentford at home

Or it could be that Fraser and Stu are both injured, as per his press conference.

Nah you must be mistaken, they hate the state so would never take anything from it.

Probably the moment you thought buying a ticket was a good idea in the first place 😉

Not that they’re going to need any help, but don’t expect anything from the ref. Premier League will be desperate for a final day title decider.

If Ralph’s still here and he has a decent crack in pre-season, wouldn’t surprise me if he’s straight in a la Tino.

In fairness, that’s a pretty good ratio for him.

Never said I wanted him to stay. But if you think changing the manager is going to turn this lot into anything other than a bottom end premier league team, then maybe you should take back your telescope.

Can only assume this is sarcasm.

Well he’s hardly going to turn around mid season and say “nah, this lot are absolute garbage” is he. And there were plenty of pundits / rags that had predicted us to go down.

Sounds good. I cannot see anyone offering us what it would take to sell, apart from possibly Man Utd

I’m not sure Liverpool have an off switch, they just play the same way regardless. Be interesting to see if they lose to Chelsea how they react.

Theres plenty of sticks to beat Ralph with, but think this is pretty harsh, Djenepo - scored a couple of excellent goals early on, but other than that has generally offered zilch. Made of glass and spends most time injured. Walcott - was he ever decent? Think he got a free pass to start with due to the connection, but generally offered nothing. Spent loads of time injured. Adam Armstrong - numbers looked good to start with, but he missed quite a few gilt edged chances. Broja came in, took his chance and Armstrong got sidelined. Has been harshly treated though and why Long has been picked ahead of him is baffling. Tella - flashes of promise, would you not credit Ralph for bringing him into the squad? Wouldn’t say he was great then has become shit, he’s been pretty much the same level Ely - was shite when he joined, bit of rehabilitation at Celtic, has come back and did ok. Would you not credit Ralph for his reintroduction into the squad? Id given up on him completely, so what he’s delivered this season has been a bonus for me (albeit still very average). Redmond - had his best season under Ralph... He’s reverted back to the bang average player he has been though for most of his time here, probably because thats what he is… bang average. Broja - by all accounts he didn’t start initially as his application appeared to be questioned. Ralph gave him some words, he bucked his ideas up and was excellent for a few months. Appears his attitude has dwindled again and doesn’t look like he can be fcked for the last couple of months (not only one). S Armstrong - best of a bad bunch, but I don’t think he’s as good as people make out. Another one with injury problems. Would a change of tactics or manager make these players any better? Possibly, but wouldn’t expect a significant difference. They’re all just bang average to poor footballers (possible exception for Broja), playing at a bang average to poor level. This is the reason most fans (and no doubt Ralph) want to see wholesale changes in the No 10 / Striker area

Hmm, I wouldn’t say that’s new either really. They’ve been pretty steadfast in supporting Ralph for a long time, didn’t see that changing.
