But it’s been known since Friday The worst kept secret. Our club loves to move at a snails pace.

No he’s one of these self proclaimed ‘super agents’ that aren’t agents. I for one really don’t want Pereira. We are in real mess.

I think that’s more an indication of how far we’ve fell.

Phenomenal

Shhhhhhhhh - stop giving them ideas!

I’m both of those as this is the only logical first step we had to take. However, and it’s a big however there’s way more wrong with the club than just the manager.

I might actually look forward to the walk to GP for the first times in months.

Don’t kid ourselves it’s just the players as many of them have also changed during the last 6 managers!

It’s not, but he shouldn’t of been hired in the first place. You only have to look at how divisive and fractured we have become as a fan base in recent weeks to see why it was a ridiculous appointment. I wasn’t over the moon with his appointment like a lot of others, but still gave him a chance. Any manager, at any club, in any league would likely be sacked after this run. This alone though doesn’t solve all our problems they are more deep rooted than that. The next thing to be concerned about is letting the same people make the next choice of manager. Unless there is significant change it’s just rinse and repeat.

I don’t want to be at the game next week with that man in the dugout.

Thanks goodness we have Gordon and Gray.

He’s got to go!!!!

Ridiculous

If we go out based on that sub par team he’s picked I’ll be incandescent! …..& I’ll let him know exactly how I feel on Tuesday.

I lost my last ounce of respect for him last weekend when imo he put his ego in front of the interests of the team. Why play a struggling RB at LB/LWB and bring in JJK who we all know has no future here in as part of a flat back 5 at home! What infuriated me even more was why have Digne on the bench if he didn’t have any intention of playing him? Rafas meant to be a master tactician but he clearly didn’t see that our midfield 2 were losing the battle and changes were needed earlier. Digne was clearly one of if not the best option. This didn’t happen and in my opinion he put himself and his point above that of the club. This was the straw that broke the camels back for me.

He’s put his foot in it letting you know!

We had King!

It’s an obligation to buy. The subject to any sporting objectives aspect I’m sure will be so low it’ll be pointless agreeing on our part unless it’s as good as a done deal. Unfortunately I don’t know what as I don’t believe they’ve been released so it’ll only be speculation.

The ‘old fashioned’ style yes but not in the new world to circumvent/delay FFP or allow a purchase that wouldn’t be possible without such things. Eg. Kean

I like stats but interpretation is crucial. Also obviously individual stats are effected by other players on your team and the opposition. It’s all relative but used correctly they are very informative.

That’s rich!

@MikeO I was between Gray and Gordon but you made it easy for me!

The problem here is two fold. One the exact conversations had are unknown and the second is that the plan obviously isn’t working and goes against what most fans want to see.

They won’t or we would never let it happen. We’ve made some stupid decisions but this would be ludicrous and laughable.

Gloat in defeat or point out that they’re right about certain things with Rafa and are concerned. Two different things!
