    Not a chance we are staying up with van nistelrooy - the experiment has not worked
    Get rid of him now and bite the bullet - if available and if interested Sean Dyche would at least give us a fighting chance and also would be perfect for a promotion push next year.

    I will caveat that with (I hope to eat my words nevertheless!)

    I’d hate to think the board ‘experimented’ with the Van Nistelrooy appointment, I believe they thought he was the best candidate which proves how little they know about running a football club. Sacking him would mean we’d have to pay him and his staff compensation which would go against FFP costs. Obviously the pot is empty as we saw with the transfer window. I’m resigned to relegation, I was a long time ago, I’d be surprised if we won another game this season.
    Looking to next season, I’d like to see us promote youth with a couple of old guards like Vardy and Coady to give them guidance. If it takes us 2, 3 or 4 seasons to get promoted so be it, however long it takes them to mature and gel.
    Bet your life Vestegaard is still picking up his wage from us until his contract expires.

    100% agree, root and branch reset, we probably have trundled along understandably resting on the laurels of the recent sucesss. its all cyclical as we know.!!

    Agree with everything except I haven't quite given up just yet. This game tomorrow could help swing things. Wilf is back which will give our vulnerable back 4 better cover than they currently get and Ruud also needs to take a punt with one of the two young boys. Give Man Utd something they haven't seen before. A result tomorrow could do wonders for confidence.

    Not too bad but Ayew and de Cordova-Reid are pointless (despite the goal) ... should have brought the boy wonder on
