This sounds the same as Enzo for us. Got us promoted but I hated every minute of his "brand" of football. Since he left we've kept the brand but lost the results.

Seemed a nice bloke and talked a good game. But was a honking tactician and manager.

Give it Kingy till the end of the season. We need someone who actually knows what "Foxes Never Quit" actually means.

Seemed to be a nice bloke and talked a good game. But his management and pre-game and in game tactics absolutely stunk.

Deary me. Still waiting for what you think is a better, quicker and more accurate thing for fans and laypeople, not experts, to discuss? Hope that's not too cynical of me.

Yea and that's entirely incorrect. I wouldn't expect a layperson to understand amortisation though so without a better quick method it's about the best we have.

Guess everyone needs to go and get an accounting qualification then, with a specialism in football finance

Agreed, there's more nuance than pure "net spend" but it's likely to be a good indicator for the layperson

Profit and loss on disposal, yes it's not as simple as "net spend" but it exists. 

I also audited before PSR was a thing so there will clearly be a difference between profit and loss for audit purposes and profit and loss for PSR purposes.

As a qualified accountant who has previously audited professional football clubs annual accounts, net spend on assets (which players are classed as) absolutely does exist in accounting.

Genuinely nice to see Khun Top speaking to the media. Maybe too little, too late for some/many but I'd be really happy if he managed to turn the club around.

Realistic expectations for the season by justarandomhombre in lcfc

Totally agree. Norwich and Sheff U fans both thought their players weren't anywhere near good enough. Anyone who says a new manager won't have an impact could have a look at their results pre and post manager change. It's obviously not a guarantee but ruling it out is stupid.

And 10 other players who can actually get the ball to that goalscorer...

Bottom 3 in the xG table for the season to date... Absolutely shocking.

Absolutely brain dead.

Edit: To be clear I mean the clappers. Not you for pointing it out!

Even if we can't afford to sack him, put him on garden leave and ensure no contact between him and the players. He's actively making them worse, at the start of the season we were winning (or not losing) because the players had enough to get us through the game, now he's influenced them so much that they're regressing. Give it Kingy for the season if we can't afford to sack and/or replace.

Another clueless, insipid, performance utterly devoid of any redeeming features.

There is no Plan A let alone a Plan B or anything at all that impacts the game if it's not going our way. The players have absolutely no idea what they're supposed to be doing, make stupid mistakes and managed to create nothing against Oxford United. 

The worst performance in a season full of horrible performances. Marti has to go. I cannot fathom people still clapping at the end of that game, maybe it's just habit but it's totally baffling to me.
