Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 6th June) 49ers takeover expected this week

The only good thing about relegation is that the parasite Radz has lost out massively from a financial point of view. He didn't even know how to flip a club so as to maximise his profit - even though it was on a plate for him after avoiding relegation the season before last. The guy's inept when it ...

Re: Diego Llorente

It's going to take several years to deal with all the damage inflicted by Orta.

At least we will be rid of Radx shortly by the sounds of it.

Re: Patrick Bamford

Great vids of Eddie Gray , great footwork, leading to some awesome goals. :) :) We need a sharpshooter for next season. If Bamford stays hopefully he will find some form. Totally agree. And Eddie was as good as George Best - shame he was so injury prone. This is good too ; https://www.youtube.com/w...

Re: Next Manager

If the board would not back Bielsa after the 9th place finish why did he stay on . Not the type that would do so. Knew he liked small squads so guess what happens when we got injuries........... Perhaps he was happy with things in that Summer. Guess we will never know. If you have no plan B it’s si...

Re: Next Manager

I'd suggest that's exactly what he did, always trying to utilise the best players available, playing in positions which made the best of the system overall. What was the alternative? Try to play defensively with players who haven't been bought for that style? That's what we've attempted to do for t...

Re: The Retained List - Who stays, who goes?

I just really think it is time to move on from this frail failed defence, I was saying the same at the end of last season. How many times do we keep talking about Firpo, Koch, Llorente, Cooper, Ayling and even Struijk. We need to start a fresh. Surely the last two seasons have taught us this. It's ...

Re: The Retained List - Who stays, who goes?

Can you honestly see that happening ? Bamford has been one of the first names on the team sheet (often when he isn’t even fit) since he has been at the club regardless of the manager. Whoever comes in will adopt the same perspective. I cannot see him leaving unless he wants to. The recent threats m...

Re: Patrick Bamford

If we don't move on from Bamford then this club is incapable of detaching from the past and moving on. 6 goals in 2 seasons from your main striker is a significant factor in why we nearly got relegated last season and got relegated this season. The new manager just needs to tell him that he doesn't ...

Re: Radrizzani

If the club is now worth say £150m then Radz still gets some uplift on what he paid for the club. He's lost himself a huge amount of money through not selling a year ago, but that's what happens when you speculate and make a poor decision. It's like seeing a share that you bought soar in price, but ...

Re: The Retained List - Who stays, who goes?

I do wonder if some people understand the concept of a contract and what that means. We will not be getting rid of Bamford, Ayling and the other so called deadwood unless A/ someone wants to sign them and offers a contract which the player is willing to accept. Bear in mind it is unlikely to be as ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 30th May) Should the fans have turned on the players sooner

Turning on the players wouldn't have done any good tbf. They are what they are, many not good enough, past there prime, or just not suited to Premier league football. But they didn't sign themselves. Ultimately the responsibility for this season lands at the feet of those above. Not sure highlighti...

1 victory by a 3 goal margin all season in the league. It was never happening made all the more difficult by our inability to defend. This had been an ongoing issue for ages. Turd polishing is difficult, we have recruited poorly in all departments. We were having problems putting the ball in the ne...

Exactly. So many rose tinted spectacled people around when it comes to talking about Bielsa.
