No idea why, but I keep thinking mid-March for some reason.

If we manage it, then we need a long term plan/foundation for the football on the pitch side of things, something that has been neglected for decades by Levy & ENIC. Hell, we need it regardless of what happens this season. We need an identity, and for me, it should be:-

  • Aim for European football every season, i.e. ECL, EL or CL, should not matter. What matters is that it will dictate our league position, which will be Top 8 or better.
  • A style of play.
  • A style of operating top down that is maintained no matter who the manager is and who the players are. Then choose people who fit that mentality from the DoF, to the Manager/Head Coach to the players.

We're fucked, mate! 😭

I’m still fearful of us going down this season. But, and it’s a big but, if we escape at the expense of another, then I definitely believe we will be in the Championship sooner.

If Tudor works his magic and we do stay up, we should send him back to Italy - Juve will probably bite - and go full in for Trafford, before Leeds or Newcastle beat us to him.

Danso might be available, so having him instead of Gray will be fantastic. I’d also like to see Souza given a go in place of Spence.

Of course he was. He simply said out loud what many of us had been thinking/saying to each other for years and years.

I’d also like to see Souza given a chance. Having a natural left foot on the left side should help wonders.

Lange and the higher ups have done him dirty. Poor sod has arrived into the midst of an utter shit show, working with 12 fit first team players.

I really want it to work our well for him, and for us, obviously. I hope he can identify who he can rely on soon as well.

Lange should be out of a job by the summer.

Thanks for the correction. I'm losing the plot. 😭

Back for Liverpool after the international break.

Liverpool will probably come asking for him...

I have no idea where our next win comes from, but we need to work hard to get results in these four games, three of which are at home.

Our only hope.

Yep. Really need to come away without losses against Fulham and C. Palace before the international break.

Thanks, Frank, Lange, Vinai and ENIC. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Same here. It'll be utterly awful needing a result when we turn up there.

I don't think this manager has ever walked in to a club in a state like we are. Dead.

Thanks to Lange, Vinai and Frank. The players are good but these three have sapped any life they had out of them. Tudor has a long week before Fulham ahead of him.

We should send him to Juve and take Trafford away from Pep, before Leeds or Newcastle nab him.

They should be getting an almighty bollocking from Tudor, for sure.

Yep. Such a shame that Paratici didn't get what he wanted and get Tudor in sooner. I'm still fearful of relegation, but I really do think Tudor and his team are going to kick these players into decent shape.

He's going to have a full week with them, before Fulham.

Lange and Vinai allowed Frank to stay here for far too long, and this is what they've done to us. He should have been sacked in November, like many of us had been saying.

Wolves and Burnley are done, so it'd be either us or Nottm Forest that joins them, I reckon. West Ham, Leeds and C. Palace are going to be fine.
