It happens - the day the takeover happened I remember saying to my dad “I just hope it’s ages before our fans become entitled” and he said “it won’t be”
-
This is why I lose my shit living down in Leicester when people say to me things like “shouldn’t you be doing better with the money you’ve spent” to which I always say something like “now work out how much in comparison we’ve spent over the last 15 or so years - we’re merely playing catch up right now”

Cool - thanks for the info
-
The Geordie Dwight gayle is actually very fitting
-
? a little - very tough week at work, parents were visiting for the weekend ands that’s VERY HARD WORK. They’ve just left and yes bank holiday weekend so I’m having a few

Why don’t you just marry him?

I was joking - can’t believe you fell for the old let’s sign Armstrong gag
-
Genuine question - why will they need to make sales? They haven’t spent anything this year have they? Just looked it up and the average players wages is £26,000 - that seems maintable
-
Somerville? Don’t lead me this way
-
Leeds living up to name ands getting someone off injured within ten minutes of going behind
-
Doubt that very much - he’s never scored more than 2 goals a season in the prem.

Use the money to buy Wilson
-
Not for me - I thought our games against Southampton were more fun than the Leeds ones.
-
I genuinely had a feeling soton were going to do this today. Don’t know what’s happened to Leeds recently.

Sign him up

Go onto the Howe forum and read most of it - to be fair a lot of our fans are becoming entitled very quickly. Every club has them I reckon.
-
Never traveled to those so don’t know but interesting. Local teams don’t get supported, I now live in Loughborough and work in Nottingham and again surrounded by Notts forest, county or Leicester fans. it’s weird how it’s different in the Home Counties areas then.

Is his contract length 5 year? For me his minimum target is to take us into a regular top 6 club whilst cutting free dead wood and rebuilding - ideally with huge goings on in the academy so we can call on them in the future either for a call up to first team or additional revenue stream. Anything above that fire me is just gravy. i can see why people are adding CL as a target as we got it once but our squad is still so far behind the top teams to expect that season in season out just yet in my opinion.

Let them have their moment of laughing - every manager is turning them down and their second half to last season was relegation form. Since their manager left they went from around seventh to just avoiding relegation by three points. They currently have no manager and can’t get one as nobody wants the job, can’t score for toffee at the moment and their owners were in local phone in saying exciting times ahead as there’s a new gift shop and bar opening in their ground. They are seriously screwed next season.
-
Agreed - shame our fans haven’t the same common sense, so many have become so entitled, I honestly thought it would take longer than this.

The only excuse for not bringing in a keeper in January would be we were skint - oh that’s right we were. Sorry but I’ve read too many times in the last two days things like “no excuse”, “under pressure now” just because we didn’t get into Europe when it went down to the last game of the season ffs. You could see he learned a lot more as the season went on with his tactical changes and he very very nearly delivered us into top 6 with what can only be labelled as a crazy lack of player availability throughout the season. I do believe there’s a good chance that Howe will hit a glass ceiling with us and will have achieved everything he can but so soon after what he’s done is crazy talk in my opinion - those people that say they want him gone just be careful what you wish for.
