They'll still be thinking of an excuse to give us as to why they broke yet another promise. They'll probably wait until after the international break and creep it into the pre-match build-up with QPR, something along the lines of "We tried our best but we'll just have to get on with it". To be fair to Pards, while he is a puppet manager, no doubt he'll be frustrated with the board for making him look like a twunt in front of the media and fans. He is doing a decent job with what he has available, so my gripe isn't fully aimed at him.
I think the day we get a new owner at the club will be celebrated more than us potentially winning a trophy now
