Now f**k off and stop ruining our club you parasite.

The one chink of light at the end of two miserable seasons was that the 49ers would take over, get rid of Radz and co, and appoint some people who understand how to run a professional football club.

But Radz's corporate bullshit statement yesterday is a clear indicator that he's staying. That to me spells impending doom.

The guy has zero football knowledge, and no better indicator of that than when he handed the keys to the kingdom to that destroyer of football squads Victor Orta.

They lucked out and hit the jackpot when they appointed Bielsa, but other than that in footballing terms we have had bad decision after bad decision which has generated our descent back into darkness.

Radz is so egotistical, narcissistic and deluded that he seriously believes he can still do a great job here. Get to f**k you slimy twat.

He's a businessman and only concerned about 🤑. If he sells out to the 49ers now he's not going to get the big wedge he would have got if we were still in the EPL. Hence he's staying.

Radz, and lots of our supporters, still have an emotional attachment and belief in the players who got us promoted. Even though the last two awful seasons have shown these guys are useless and spineless people still revere them. What for? They've been shockingly bad and do not deserve to be wearing our shirt.

Radz will retain all of our useless, jellyfish, as it's the easy and cheap option. The limited group of talented players we have will be sold. For any player with talent and ambition, like Adams, Gnonto, Rutter and Summerville they will be off like a shot this summer as Radz has shown zero ambition since we got promoted.

I fully expect he will appoint another useless DOF, as he doesn't know what to look for.

That team and formation Allardyce put out on Sunday was an absolute disgrace, but no worries Sam, Radz is gonna give you a three year contract. Allardyce has stated that he rates Ayling, Koch and Harrison, whereas Stevie Wonder would have the lot of them sussed out after the first training session.

With Radz staying at our club we're on a path for further humiliation and chaos. League One here we come.

Bear in mind the summer break is shortened and the pot of money is less, so we have a lot to sort out with less time and money.

The descent will continue folks.
I don't even think he's such a smart business man.

The Square Ball threw up some thoughts yesterday

We were so thin on numbers, business-wise, in every department.

The commercial department should pay for itself. Our commercial department was miniscule compared to most big clubs.

TSB said - "If the social media guy took a day off, nobody did social media." That's awful given the kind of organization we wanted to be.

Here's a bigger thought ....

We wanted to build a sustainable financial model based on buying young players and selling the best at a big profit. That's great. When it pays off it pays off exponentially, Yet ...

Post Bielsa we never had a consistent coaching team in place. We never had the numbers. Jesse Marsch's coaching squad was so thin on numbers.

You can only make a profit of players by making them better. You need a team of coaches to make players better,

Even though we changed manager a few times, we should have always had a few core members of coaching staff in place.

For me the decisions over the past two years make Radrizzani look like a complete idiot. Like a boy with a set of toy soldiers. He did not turn LUFC into the great business model it should have been. He did not adequately improve the commercial side. He did not create a structure where young prospects could improve and flourish.

Agreed Andrew, things are rotten to the core :tup:

Even when you're recruiting all that young talent, you're stunting their development if they're not coached properly. On top of that we saw in Bielsa's last season that even though Bamford was out all season we were still continually stuffing a procession of round pegs into round holes, while Joffy is sat watching these dopes and not given chance.

This season we've had talent like Cresswell and Drameh loaned out while the usual suspects continue to get rinsed every week.

Gnonto, Summerville and Gyabi sat watching the madness week in and week out and spurned while we persist with these sad arse losers.
