Lets not get silly now.

But we do have bad injury problems, and when they are injured they tend to stay out for a while. The mccrorie situation, we dont know exactly what it is, but there was probably a month of toing and froing before the operation. Conway felt his hamstring in game 1 when he came on and stayed on, as did vyner when he did his, and weimann felt his knee before he wrecked it too if I remember rightly, and i think i recall kalas doing something similar with his shoulder and staying on, and we have lost james and williams for periods too. Not sure if time off reduces their performance, but i dont believe that every case has been handled as well as it should have been, which considering rennie is some high end specialist, well it should have been quite frankly.

Its the idiots in charge saying we have a top 6 squad that have put the pressure on… with their squad and choice of manager someone needs to be resigning if the top 6 isn’t achieved!

Are you sitting next to a mirror?

Is it just clubs whose value could be affected on the stock market if a key employee was to leave? Which presumably oxford united isnt??

Lampards recent record is obviously horrific,, but chelsea and everton were and continue to be in absolute free fall, i dont know who could have turned them around in that time? And in terms of footballers, he is probably one of the brighter ones around, and would certainly attract players and profile.. whether hea a good fit for us or not i dont know, a superstar footballer appointment isn’t something weve tried before.

Yes,,, and will tinnion be fired for not employing the correct manager to get our top 6 squad into the top 6?

They are clueless, im sure it wouldn’t really be a surprise!

Love michael laudrup playing videos, one of my all time favourites, incredible footballer,, one of my alltime other favourites is batistuta, now that would have been a combination to behold, luckily we have mehmeti and cornick to replicate them.

Disagree, i would have thought that having a playing culture from the top down is a good thing if you then recruit for that culture? Liverpool do it with their press and fast attack, man city have their possession and tactical flexibility, swansea have done it for years, and clubs all over the world do it too. Luton wouldn’t have a highly physical playing style then recruit someone like Michael laudrup as manager when he was a much better match for the type of football swansea were looking to play when he joined them. The fact it took the lansdowns 20 odd years to figure this out is what the problem is!

They have all played in the prem, even won cups,,, weve done nothing and are still shite! I would swap!

Im sure they are stupid enough

Cant agree,,, we all know whose club this is,,, if the coach was still LJ and he had a great personal relationship with SL, then whatever tinnion thought about it would have no consequence. tinnion apparently has no aspiration to be the new manager but if he wants the power to run the football side, then if hes part of the team bringing players in, selecting managers and is telling the lansdowns we have a top 6 squad then he had better find someone to actually get us there, or he will be found out by next may.

I think we all know the main reason nige is gone is that he and the owner dont get along and there was only going to be 1 winner with that… i could quite understand that nige might be a pain to deal with too, but the other stuff is just bullshit. i would say though that some of the replies about instilling a philosophy on a playing style to a new head coach,,, good luck with that,,, thats what they should have been doing for the last 25 years,,, for jl to now come out and say this is the style they are recruiting for is embarrassing…. Instilling a style has worked for luton and swansea, and plenty of other clubs, so to recruit for that now is common sense.

No one has still explained how a club that finished 14th last year, and sold its best youth player in decades while signing a couple of lads for 1-2 million and having 1 keeper who has ever played a championship game was suddenly supposed to be pushing for promotion? If tinman really believes that then we are even more screwed. In the unlikely event that we dont finish in the top 6 with no new signings in January and the new manager of their choosing, i assume he and the lansdowns will take responsibility for their decisions and resign?

That was back in the good humans era

I would too!

Yes, schumacher has done a hell of a job, we ought to have the funds to pay compensation, but he’s obviously only got about 12 games of experience in the championship?

Definitely agree,, this has been brewing for weeks, im sure the appointment is lined up, i cant believe it wont be another balls up though!

I cant think that tinnion holds that sort of power at the club,, he’s presumably making a pretty nice living at the club, and i have no doubt as to his affection for it… whether he has the experience to do that job in the championship is another discussion though.

Weve been shite since about 1980!

All the best to nige, hope his health position is sorted out soon, and he finds himself a good club in the future,he couldnt have done much more and was set up to fail after this summer transfer window

Seems a bit harsh,,, he got wycombe up, and they gave everything they had, but were unable to compete,, and qpr have been a mess for a while now.

Agree with this, but its easy to see why SL will have had enough after being left with the bill over covid, plus the losses on so many of the players, including the chelsea 3 plus fam. Seeing such poor results while spending out on some of those salaries with no income will have been galling,, while still completing the hpc plus that new arena. They have been his decisions but he must feel let down at what has been delivered for all that money too.

Im pretty sure jon introduced it to steve before the first time it was used,,, though it was probably a formality, and to be fair no one has really had a problem with it until now, and given the amount spent, i dont really have a problem with it. At this point though not spending some of the scott money is ridiculous, to sell your 2 best players and finish 14th,,, what do we really expect nige to achieve?? weve all been saying that the beneficiary will be niges replacement, which it might be if we could pick someone competent to replace him… in the meantime though,, at best, we are looking at win 1 draw 1 lose 1, at least until some of the injured guys are back,
