There isn’t much more to add, following the comments made on here this evening.
It’s mis-managed decline. Lop got us out of the shit three years ago, Pereira last year. Lop had the good sense to walk when he felt promises were broken and though he had a squad capable of staying up he wanted to be aiming higher than survival. Pereira did a great job last season but then saw three of his most influential players sold and replaced with hugely inferior players. I think he should be doing better with what he’s got but the real blame for the shambles we’re seeing unfold is undoubtedly Shi, who has overseen a transition from top half team to relegation certainties. There’s no miraculous escape on the horizon this year.
I hate every fucking club in the Prem, looking at the fixtures, seeing us and thinking 'There's a nailed on 3 points!'
There’s no point spending any money. Damage is already done. Wasting more will just put us in more shit. We’re already taking a loss on pretty much every player we’ve signed. Larsen, Gomes and Andre are steadily losing value.
What pints though?
Yep feet on the pitch for at least two that I saw.
Teams like wolves never usually get to the level we did. We were fucking there, but them every single decision after that has been flawed.
I think Lop was decent. He had ambitions higher than survival so we’ll never know what would have happened if he’d stayed. He handled his departure very badly but that doesn’t change the fact he was competent unlike Zenga, Lage and O’Neill. Lambert did what was asked of him but was only ever a stop gap.
