Oh well - ended pretty much as expected - fair performance today but the table doesn't lie - time to regroup and rebuild ... and for a nice glass of Rioja ...

One thing to celebrate next season, you won't have to go to the Cesspit Dog Kennel

Serious question for @FosseFilberto, do you think the ground expansion will be put on hold until such times as you get PL football again. As a championship club, will you need the extra seats?

In my best Jeremy Clarkson voice:

Here's what I think.

I think the expansion will still go ahead ... because it's part of a longer term plan and was always part of the late Chairman's vision.. his son seems very committed to fulfilling his father's dreams / ambitions ... so yes I think it will ...

We sell out home sections for every game and, population wise, are the 10th biggest City in the UK and the biggest in the East Midlands ... very difficult to get matchday tickets if you are not at least a member... so I don't doubt that the extra seats, once available, will be filled ... our Rugby team regularly get 25,000 for home games too ...

<cheers>

If any lessons are to be learned from this season, it is don't touch Brendan Rodgers with a barge pole. I knew at the beginning of the season he would fook Leicester up and he well and truly did. Spurs heed the warning, you ain't that desperate, are you?

Even Pippa Schofield has turned them down, allegedly

I think he's a massive prick but I do feel the Leicester board are more to blame for their demise than he was.

Many journos claim he ain't in the running for us though. After not giving Poch a call and Nagelsmann and Slot collapsing, I think Postecoglou is now our number one target.

I'd agree ... with one observation ... our Board were attempting to comply with FFP rules ... probably should just have winged it like others seem to have done ... but Ridgers arrogance and stubbornness were also big factors ...

I assume Dyche is there to stay, I don't know what contract he had, will be interesting to see if his financial head is as good as his football one and if he can point them on the right road, I think from figures that were being put out recently by the media, he can.

Dyche deserves a chance, he kept Burnley up on a shoestring

Leeds are just **** aren't they?

Looking at the teamsheet it's no wonder they've gone down.

Diego has nailed it. He wasnt backed at all. Players were forced on him and he was handed a ridiculously large squad that a lot weren't suited to his style and told to make it work.

Haha, I love how you basically repeated what Diego said, he got zero likes and you got like 6.

Poor Diego.

I dunno whot our records like on ex players then becoming mangers and doing well, xabi Alonso is doing alright, hyppia i think tried and gave it up, fowler done lower leagues then australia but nothing of a high standard.

Modern era 92 and onwards weve had a mare in that respect overall.

Youve had some stinkers too.

The 92 gang have been total and utter failures from Man Utd's side. I've seen glimpses of Giggs perhaps having a clue, but he's too busy battering woman to give it a proper go. Gary Neville honestly could be a top manager for all we know, but he went for that Valencia job which was a terrible, terrible idea and it's ****ed his entire career potential.

From Liverpool, most went straight into media. That 90s era gang weren't serious people though, they were always slated for such in the media at the time, people have just forgotten. Turning up to the FA Cup final in bright white suits, Fowler's sniffin' coke celebration, that sort of stuff. They were never ever manager material.

Lots of people forget about Dalglish though, who for a spell was probably one of the top rated coaches in Britain. He won a few titles with Liverpool and then built an outstanding team at Blackburn that eventually won the league. After that? One turd spell at Newcastle and his entire career was finished as a manager.
