Lazy, fat, fucking idiot.

Look at it.

I’ve just been running the line for the under 12s and you wouldn’t have this down there. Our local journalists will have no truck with this most basic of observation though. What a legend.

 

[Mel Evo]

I'm not buying into this that there was little Edwards could do.

For sure, we were almost certainly going to be relegated but the least I would have expected is there to be some semblance of shape and style of play.

There's neither... just a rabble... and thrown into the mix is a total absence of tactics other than to try to keep it at nil nil for as long as possible.

We don't look any better now from when Edwards first came in... what's he fashioned?

Having resigned myself to him being our manager next season yes or yes I’m no longer so sure. That’s having absorbed the mood around me at the ground yesterday. The preposterous project he was given (over 6 months to go, but just get relegated with some sort of pride) means it’s still a long way to go to the end of the season. As someone observed yesterday, the Spurs circus distracted yesterday, but lose to the guys already on Roker Beach next week and any Chairman will start at least thinking about the need to chuck someone under the bus.

He retreated to the line first and then was slow to get out. He shouldnt have been retreating to the line.

Problem is our permanent temporary Chairman is currently taking his football advice from a person involved in the hiring of Rob.

The most irritating thing for me is that every Wolves fan, that knows anything about the footballing side of the club, knows that Edwards is not the man to manage Wolves, moving forward.

Yet, we persist in being run by people who know absolutely fuck all about football and the way to build a football team.

Edwards has not done one positive thing to suggest he should remain in charge - I’m not even sure we’ve improved. Maybe in terms of the hammerings we’ve taken, but certainly not in the quality of football or improvement of individual players.

Has that fan forum with Shi II, Jackson and Edwards already taken place?

Nope.

Ballot for tickets closes tonight. Think the forum is the 12th May.

I was in line with that and could not believe he was there. Literally thought there was something wrong with my eyes. How is slow santi better at offside than this thing.

 

[Tony Towner]

Rob was talking in his post match about things taking a long time to sort and the fans needing to understand that...yet the club (Nathan? Can't remember) were recently talking about an instant return being the aim.

Doesn't seem the positivity is aligned?

Thing is he preached time until results got better, then bigged himself up about the work he'd managed to do with said time and now we're back to time again.

It's a red herring now anyway given the majority of these players aren't here next season.

I know I'll get pelters but what the hell!. I think you guys are so unfair on RE. Who else do you think we could've got in the position we were in when VP got the sack? We were heading for the worst points total ever, we all agree we have a crap squad with very few exceptions. who else would've come in the winter window apart from AG who I thought at the time was a worthwhile punt.. it might have worked to some extent but failed miserably. Yesterday we were up against a team fighting for their survival with a new coach, all we have to fight for is a little pride, which hasn't been present all season. Blame FOSUN.. no-one else! I'm not a happy clapper and as distraught as all of you for the position that we're in, especially as I live surrounded by Villa fans. I just don't see that RE has had the tools to work with, inherited a downbeat, unfit and unmotivated squad. He can only do so much with that situation

 

[prawnking]

Do FOSUN get all the credit for the early Nuno era then?

So what was the thing where it was supposedly said we would “punch their way out of the league”

 

[Tony Towner]

The who else could we get dies when the club spent £4m bringing him in. It would be valid if he was unemployed, but not in that circumstance.

I do agree anyone would have taken us down, but my expectation of a good manager would be to have a style and pattern of play that although would probably not be successful due to the inferior players gives you some identity. Unless you class sitting deep and hoping for something on the break then that doesn't exist.

Presume the stuff with the likes of TW.

Been a few of those meetings, which have included ticket prices and key matters like bringing back the Liquidator.

Only dazzling will win and I’ll look forward to his intense questioning.

Snap.., although you would have in mine as we’re in the depths of Division 11 of the Leicestershire county league.

The thing is, it's never a defence to say 'who could have done better?', as demonstrably someone always can. That's why managers get sacked every month of the season.

There are managers outside of Jeff Shi's phone contacts that could have at least engaged us in some kind of actual relegation battle, even got us off the bottom of the league at some point. Was never likely under a leader who fits right in with an out-of-their-depth squad. He was never going help them transcend that, because he can't do it himself.

If you're a fan and happy with the lowest of all targets...being better than Derby's points total FFS...then it also speaks to a woefully meagre ambition, which plays right into the hands of owners like Fosun and justifies an appointment made for all the wrong reasons.

 

[Alan]

I shouldn’t be able to identify 10 MLS sides more tactically astute and complex than us, but I can (Charlotte ain’t one of ‘em, sadly). Rob, Gary, VP, Lop, Lage; I can’t seriously recall an attacking identity under any of them, certainly not consistently. When is the last time any of us saw a pattern of play that looked like we did it on purpose and knew how to do it again? It’s embarrassing.

We could be stuck in the lower mid table Championship doldrums scraping about after free transfers and loans in 4/5 years and people will still be saying 'what do you expect, Pep Guardiola', 'who could do any better', 'you've got to be realistic'.

Under O'Neil and Pereira it was just "give it to the good players". Now we don't have any good players.

Lage's attacking play was a disgrace.
