Yes

I keep looking for glimmers of hope amongst all the stuff posted. I think only a handful of people really know what's going on and none of them post here

yeah but shit is still shit and we have a lot of them

I don't think Big Joe can ever recover. He's been so poor that he is beyond redemption at this point.

McLaren was like the Jeff Hendrick of head coaches when he was here. He just seemed to fade away a lot of the time.

He looks genuinely afraid to score a goal.

None of our back 4 looked comfortable on the ball Sunday which is awkward because of our propensity to pass it back to them.

He's a classic winger meant to stay wide. He delivers beautiful crosses but his close passes are abysmal. He cost us an early goal against West Brom. A simple square up was behind both players.

The Invisible Man

Shocking close quarter passing from Fraser.

Valdamir Brucetin

:lol: :lol:

He'll have a myriad of excuses when he gets tossed. Undermined by players Undermined by press Undermined by management Undermined by fans Not given enough time to implement his tactics and the beat goes on What a farce

But the chair offered his opinion to the EPL in 2017 and that was before PIF ever became involved. And, if I'm not mistaken, the opinion he offered was strictly in regards to the piracy of BeIn's signal. Piracy was always going to be an issue with anything related to KSA so this may not as big a "loss" as it initially appeared. If the results are public I hope that that it mitigates the fact that this guy still will chair the panel.

I'll bet there is no "loyalist camp" and the nonce is making it up.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm so glad Radgie didn't get loaned out in January.

For me, the whole issue on this board is that there are a few hyper positives and a few hyper negatives. Those two extremes argue away but god forbid someone else say something mildly negative or mildly positive then the hypers get all bent out of shape and begin trying to educate us (again and again) why they are right and everyone else is wrong. If the two extremist groups would just shut their festering gobs then the rest of us can just carry on with a genuine conversation. Its opinions. Nothing more.

This post is a flaming bag of shit. You don't have to ever have taken any negativity classes to question the potential sale of this club to PIF/PCP. Anybody with any sense would question a deal that has: a) Gone on for a year with no discernable progress. 2) Had the governing body nix the deal. iii) Had the principal partner publicly move away from the deal after that. IV) Had the prospective seller sue only for damages because the deal was nixed.

So typical of Ashley: he could have spent, say, 50m(or less) to save himself 100m and instead he sat back and did nowt. He could have sacked Cabbage and promised a 40m+ warchest for reinforcements in January. Yeah, January is not the best time to spend money but a 2nd striker and another dynamic midfielder could have been bought. Imagine if we had bought Sanson along with loaning Willock? Imagine if we had another striker behind CW? Imagine a competent manager coming in before January and started implementing what Jones has done? It just underlines how impossibly stupid Mike Ashley is. Literally his own worst enemy.

Come April Miggy, ASM and CW will be like 3 new signings!

As much as I've criticized him I still search for positives in his play. Right now, anything he can give us we need.

March is setting the foundation for April. Really.

Tone deaf, clueless...I mean, name the negative adjective and he's it.

How many current players really think he's a great, or even good, man manager? They may just be saying it. Just the fact that Jones has come in to improve the club tactically has to be a loss of face for the cabbagehead. How can he look his players in the eye when its obvious his prattling about tactics made him look an arse.

Might have been the worst weekend of officiating I've seen in a while
