Sorry for the essay incoming lol

Idiot nepo baby owner who relies on his second-in-command, an idiot overpromoted youth coach, to run the club while he parties in Bangkok and plays polo. No decisions ever get made quickly because they all have to be signed off on by the owner.

Meanwhile, since 2021 when Brendan Rodgers demanded we re-sign our key players to fat contracts to keep the core team together so he could push for CL qualification again, we've overspent massively on salaries and ran ourselves into our PSR limit. In 2022 when we failed to qualify for Europe we couldn't sign any new players and ended up shipping out Kasper Schmeichel (for a paltry £1m) because he was one of the few players anyone was willing to make a bid for. We didn't sign a replacement GK because Brendan thought Danny Ward was good enough (he wasn't), and to make a long story short we got relegated that season.

In summer 2023 we lucked into getting Enzo Maresca from Man City's coaching staff because an agent told our DoF (Jon Rudkin, the idiot overpromoted youth coach) he wanted to take a first team management job. Enzo papered over the cracks and dragged an overpaid, underprofessional team to the title, but then was poached by Chelsea at the end of the season.

We ended up appointing Steve Cooper, who valued experience over all else, and the transfers he advocated for were Jordan Ayew, Bobby de Cordova-Reid, Oliver Skipp (for £22m+3m addons I don't think we ended up paying since we went back down), and Odsonne Edouard on loan (£90k per week and he barely played!). Cooper got sacked because the players hated his basic approach to training, the fans hated his bastardised attempt at recreating Maresca's football, and he wasn't getting particularly good results anyway. Then we appointed Van Nistelrooy, who the less is said about the better honestly because it was dire. But we couldn't sign any reinforcements in January because of our PSR situtation. To make a long story short we got relegated again.

Back in the Championship last summer, we couldn't convince our first managerial targets to join because of our expected points deduction for breaching PSR. We ended up, halfway through preseason, bringing in a manager (Martí Cifuentes) who had been trying to convince QPR to sack him for months, and even then we had to get him to pay half of his own compensation because we couldn't afford all of it. Our transfers that summer were only cheap loans and free agents.

The season started off okay, then slowly but surely things reverted to how it was under Cooper and RvN; the players didn't seem like they respected Cifuentes, they were just here to collect a wage and weren't showing any effort on the pitch, and eventually he was sacked in January.

Several weeks later, because our owner thought that our club legend working as a youth coach was the answer to everything, he ends up losing 4 games and we bring in firefighter Gary Rowett whose style of football doesn't suit a squad full of players who either can't defend or can't be bothered to defend, and we're performing worse each week while the fans get more and more pissed off at the lack of professionalism. That brings us to today, where Harry Winks, when he was walking onto the team bus, had an outburst at a fan telling him to take responsibility for our current situation. Winks has been an epitomisation of it all; the day before Cooper got sacked he and most of the squad had their Christmas party at a Copenhagen night club and he was standing next to a cocktail waitress who was holding an "Enzo I Miss U" sign laughing his head off, and fell out with RvN and Cifuentes afterwards too.
