    For what it’s worth the team today was close to what I think was our strongest available 11. The problem is the actual quality, without the likes of Clarke and Roberts we look desperately blunt and I don’t like saying that.

    Winds me up, the statements about not spending money, KLD has spent much more on incoming players the we have recieved for out going players. He has spent millions on rebuilding the infrastructure that had been ruined. At the moment he is probably still covering a short fall in running costs.
    The mags have the richest owners in the world and haven't been allowed to spend anything for the last 2 windows.
    KLD is doing things the right way, and in fact the only way teams will be able to be ran in the future.
    Don't get me wrong this season has been frustrating. The transfer windows haven't been the immediate success we would have all like. We didn't bring the experience in we needed.
    The head coach situation has been a **** show.
    However it's not the end of the world, we can still push on next season. Everyone makes mistakes but the successful ones learn from those mistakes.

    Hopefully that's the beginning of turning it round and not the brief pause before plunging off the cliff.

    I haven't said he has taken it. It's about the future. Keep it low, sell high.

    I’m sure it is but the profits come form the prem. so the long game is to build slowly sustainabley. Not prety at the minute but fully believe KLD is still bought into it

    Profit comes from making us sustainable. He could and it's open to sell at massive profit to him.

    They have their favourites and sometimes an axe to grind...
    I trust this site more - at least it has a balanced view

    Don’t see what the problem is with him rebuilding the club making it sustainable and selling for a profit

    What Hemir needs is some good old fashioned bullying. Someone after him all game forcing him to graft.

    Don't agree with some of those scores. Styles had a good game and was better than a 5. He really put a shift in. To give him a 5 and Burstow who did absolutely nothing a 5 is ridiculous!
