He'll stay and try to get promotion then sell, wishful thinking doesn't work in business.

To be honest, I'll be glad to see the back of these players in the summer!

Here this'll brighten some of you lots day, every cloud anorl that......You've probably got rid of me for the most part, i only joined coz i was amazed with the work Bert had done with our bob standard shite players.....

Just remember to wake me up if we ever find his kind again wilt :tup:

Needless to say, i won't be holding my breath, and back to sq 1 it is then.

All the Bert sackers got what they wished for innit :clap: :clap: :clap:

If we stayed up, a lot of the tried and failed players would still be here next season, and we would be exposed in the same way and suffer another relegation battle.
Remember we needed a squad overhaul when Bielsa came in.

He didn't overhaul the squad. Just made everyone better.

The club needs a complete rebuild for me.

Owner argues with everyone on Twitter, DOF did the same but in the ground, Recruitment is dreadful, players low quality despite the relatively big spend, match day experience is s**t, ticketing platform is s**t, service in the ground is s**t, beer is s**t, food is s**t.

As I say, complete rebuild from top to bottom.

Bring back dizzy penalties.
Bang on, Kev, you make some great points which affects our attending fans enjoyment.

There is nothing right with our club. :verysad:

Point taken Andrew, but even Bielsa could not make players like Firpo and Llorente better. Need someone to come in who is not afraid to wield the axe, make a few shrewd purchases and hope the youngsters come good.

Where are they gonna go? Who'll want them? Inept and gutless.

Wonder what it'll be like at ER next week...they'll all probably feign injury so they don't have to show face.

We have the players right now that could get us promoted immediately. We'll lose a handful. But throw some of our loanees and youngsters into the mix and we've got enough.

But it needs a decent manager to make it happen.

Sadly I'll have to make the effort to attend, well I have my pals to consider.

To think, the expectation is to applaud the players in their lap of honour at the end of the game. I doubt I'll hang around.

Depend who is still there. I don't see any creativity, certainly no Pablo this time around.

what a great goal from rodrigo today, but we missed so many other chances. surprised that Perkins was not on the bench today as he was scoring lots in the U21's. Is he injured ?

What? Instead of the 36 million man?

No. Perkins isn't injured. But Sam isn't willing to throw any of the youngsters in.

That is the crux for me. Yes if we keep a lot of the experienced players mixed with some youth, we may have a chance of coming back up quickly. The problem then though is those same players that have not been good enough now for the Premier League will still not be good enough then, and we will be back in the same place again.
On the other hand if we are able to hold on to just a few, ie Wober, Adams, Sinesterra and Kristensen and build a team of youngsters around them we may be a bit more sustainable if we get promoted. I just think for the likes of Ayling, Cooper, Bamford, Forshaw, Firpo, Llorente, Harrison and Rodrigo it is time to move on. And I cannot see the likes of Aaronson, Roca and Koch being good enough in the Premier League. It will take a brave Manager, but if you keep putting the same ingredients into a stew it will always taste the same.

Well spotted, if you know anything about me you know I have fat fingers especially when typing during a game.
And that was a typo and my sincere apologies if I offended any of the Spurs fans who log in on here
