AR already gone to Reading pal

As good a news as this is I was 100% hoping for more than 2 Liam Cooper a cert… then who? Watmore? Jack Hunt? Fosu-Mensah?

Because unfortunately his injury record makes Chalobah look like the pinnacle of fitness

Not a moan… completely get Southampton have just come down, team value comparison etc etc. The only thing that’s bugging me is that it was clear as day players are out on their feet. I get options are limited and inexperienced but we aren’t getting results with the first 11…. Is it that much harm to use more than 2 subs?

Think he’s adapted Reyt well.. 20yo & prob would have been out on loan should we have not been in this situation. Promising!

Such a strange argument. Apples & oranges. The teams you state are bigger than us now have all had success in comparison to us over the last 25+ years. All been in the Prem in the last 10 years. We’ve had nothing but sh*te over last quarter century and have retained the amazing 20k plus you’ve stated - which I agree is amazing. 26k average last year. With success comes additional fanbase numbers. It’s natural. If we get an owner who gets the club has the potential. There’s no reason why in due course we can’t exceed the numbers in attendance of the clubs you’ve mentioned. No reason why these numbers we pull when going to Wembley won’t become season ticket holders or regular attendees. We haven’t pulled 30k average in 60 years… look at the other teams from 60 years ago. Footballs bigger than it ever has been, again look back at averages of the clubs you’ve named, in 1998/99.

surely you are aware KW & Admins are very aware of figures required to keep us afloat? I’m sure that was taken into consideration and this match was more about maximising exposure of a full hillsborough > anything else…

What’s wrong with people 1) We’ve been told by administrators they were looking to have something agreed within 4-6 weeks from the beginning 2) I’ve never seen as many articles/social posts from local media to emphasise and hype the importance of this game 3) Statements from Administrator stating the same thing 4) the ticket pricing is as low as it’s been for a long time. More than reasonable for anyone to get a ticket. Not one person in the fanbase surely thinks a sale is hinging on a sell out of this game… but it’s the last game that will be of focus in the time frame of an agreement. If you can’t get yourself up for going to games knowing that the parasites have left, I don’t know what will get you up for going. definitely not the best football, definitely not expecting us to dominate, but we’ve got the club back. Come on now.

This is why they’ve done it. TalkSPORT Notification. Doesn’t matter that it wasn’t hundreds/thousands. It’s Further exposure. As said in previous posts I don’t agree with it but hats off and respect to each of them who’s been willing to risk it to show their passion for the club. it’s a shame so many in the stands can’t stop themselves from going but also can’t get on board with how people want to protest.

Got to respect everyone who’s willing to put theirselves on the line for the pitch invasion. If they do hope they’re supported by those who have been calling for it on X, as appose to just letting the certain few take the grief. Personally don’t think it’ll make much more of an impact than what’s already being done. My standpoint is the same as it’s always been. Stay away. Makes zero difference to that parasite at the top how extreme people get. The only way he leaves is if he gets forced to and the only way I see that happening is IFR or Winding Up - through lack of finances.

For a group of blokes who know realistically they aren’t getting paid very shortly you can’t fault one of them. First half could/should have been more but either way a point against a side 3 wins on the bounce before today, can’t knock em. Brown is relentless up top, chases after everything. Really like the look of him. Weaver sad to see go off because so assured for a young lad. Amass just has that something extra you’d expect from a PL youth. Just missing a real goal threat but all in all a vital point I’d have took before kick off.

Agree to an extent. Was a mistake but can’t fault them for wanting to follow their own Philosophy. for me to abandon the AI transfers as rapidly as they did and to abandon said philosophy, with their tail between the legs going back to CW, stinks of cluelessness. The type of rookie mistakes made I suppose though by a new owner, shame ours is 10 years in still making them

Wilder due back imminently never hated a blades man more. Colin at least had a panto villain element to him. Find it embarrassing they’ve gone back to him. The Most short sighted decision in history.

Today’s a stark reality of where we are and unfortunately not going to get any better anytime soon. Team is the best we can put out and it’s going to be a hard watch. Performance and effort levels shown at Leicester were always going to drop after a few defeats… just not got the quality. Obvious statement one man to blame. On my knees for Si to be right.

Was looking forward to adding the son’s first ST alongside mine next year. Will have to wait, will buy the second it’s confirmed he’s gone.

Totally understand why and how there needs to be multiple fan groups. Last thing anyone needs is people not having the inclusivity and support system these groups can offer. . . However . . . The self importance of some people within the groups - not all but some - is frightening. I thought the post from DR on X & the numerous whispers from all over, that we are basically back at square 1 with the takeover, would put a rocket up everyones arse in regards of the unity needed & the understanding/agreement in the demands the trust have laid out and why. Yet still so much feet dragging and debate it’s painful. Seen indirect posts clearly gunning at the Trust accusing them of agendas. What agendas are people so concerned about other than getting the man killing the club out. Pathetic. Get together with the singular aim of doing whatever limited things we can, to get him out.

They can’t do much more than that. Perfect response. Be stunned if certain groups agree to standby the trust but then when it’s all said and done (whenever that may be) at least we can remember who wanted the power and who wanted genuine change.

Class touch. Crazy how easy it is to do things right with the right people at the helm

I know mate we’re all entitled to do whatever we think is right in getting him out. Seems to be the one thing everyone can agree on now at least. If he’s not bothered about money that’s fine - may lead to further dark stories, further people not getting paid (which is where its tough for this stance), players handing notices again etc - but eventually something will give. Whether that be New Avenue, HMRC or a winding up order, it’ll be taken out of his hands and he’ll get nowt in comparison to what he would if he wasn’t such a delusional helmet.

Admire your positivity You’re right he’s lost an eye watering amount of money and it’s all been through his arrogance and defiance to listening to advice. 10 years now to make the right calls and every time he’s failed. So to me, the only way we as fans can do anything is to hit him in the pockets.

Correct an abundance of poor financial decisions throughout his tenure but we’ve always been there to bail him out buying season tickets 8 months in advance or 3rd kits at £72 a pop without seeing them.

Don’t appeal to his human nature the bloke doesn’t give a flyer about any single one of us. Being defunded is the ONLY way, In my opinion. All the stories throughout the summer of showing he has reached the point he hasn’t got the money to continue in his position. Whether that’s wages for Players/Staff, North Stand refurb, Suppliers not receiving money etc etc etc. The sooner he gets to having nothing the quicker it will be for someone to force this away from him.

Totally agree. If it becomes a choice of having people support them for one night or people support the Trusts actions to ensure their futures, I know which way I’d be choosing in their shoes.

your last sentence says everything that needs to be said. Nowt he says can repair/build bridges, so what’s the point.

Partly glad. New signings are a false sense of security that things might be ok. Granted I know we need them more than anyone in the league but as todays/last nights shown through one win last night (as good as it was), people get softer with any positivity.
