Agreed. If correct, the thing that I don't understand, is how they can afford to pay the wages they do. They have a smaller stadium, no recent notable sales of players but somehow manage to retain their talent by paying more than us. Haven't Eze and Olise just signed new deals...? They also...

Surely, it'll be less of a ball ache and risk long term to retain your key talent across those absolute key roles, rather than constantly trying to find replacements. Palace do this well. How can you ever get stabilty and continuity if you have no retention ethos? We are becoming more than a...

Had nothing to do with selling the Crown Jewels and replacing with Zircon then?

That's the spirit. We are going to win the league with Cooper! 😁

Everyone had injuries of course and we had a chance in Jan to relieve some the pressure. We didn't and the list kept growing.

Did you honestly think our squad was able to compete the glaringly obvious gaps in the summer? To then not address it again in Jan when the injury list was piling up too, wasn't RDZs fault. It's not about him choosing the signings. It is about the club giving the guy the tools he needs to do the...

Imagine working under Marinakis? Cooper deserves some credit just for that. Whilst hes no oil painting, he did well keeping Forest up with all those new players. Appointing a manager who has done well in a farmers league is much more of a risk in my book.

I do understand that view and I certainly questioned him at times. I just feel like had he been sold short in the summer and January.

Come on people, our amazing 'succession planning' is all hyperbole. It's a term used merely to make our selling philosophy and our lack investment in keeping staff at our club more palatable to the fans. Our 'succession planning' has been shit since RDZ came in (bar Pedro). Having a list of...

OAPs clogging up the supermarket at the weekend when they have ALL week.

We seem to have become a stepping stone club for literally every position and role within the club. Praps offering something a little more lucrative to retain our talent, could have just an positive outcome as this so called 'succession plan' which seems to be running dry. Let's be honest, bar...

Agreed. It would be unreasonable to expect him not to take the team he came in with. However, there is absolutely no way he didn't advise the Chelsea hierarchy of other key staff at our club. Hence the mass poaching of staff, coaches and a club legend. As far as I'm concerned, he put the wheels...

And then f*** off again taking everyone but the tea lady with him.

Is there a chance this is agent talk to try and improve our offer? I personally think we should move on if he's not that into us. He'd probably be gone in a year if he did remotely well with us anyway. Same as with Ipswich.

At this point, I'm looking at the top couple of candidates very underwhelmed. The Swedish chap looks the most interesing. There are a lot of European clubs, with much bigger pedigree who need coaches. Maybe the plan has always been Potter but they are waiting it out so the 60% of #NoToPotter...

Didn't want gim anyway. Hope he relegates them!

In fairness, they always end seasons strongly. They did under Roy last year. I do think they have a decent manager in Glasner and they will deffo be top half. Perhaps taking our place in the top 10. Eze and Olise are pretty injury prone and without them, they struggle (as any team would). The...

Eric Ten Hag

Evening Graham.

Do you mean what he did in the final few months...? Granted he changed our style of play but we were pretty ineffective offensively. People argue that you can't rewrite history and take away was Potter did. Then in the same breath accuse people of being 'stuck in 2020' when reflecting on...
