    We need a massive rebuild. Move on about 60% of the first team. Give the new manager, presumably Danny Rohl, a massive budget to rebuild the squad in his style.

    Only players I'd definitely want to keep:
    Fernandes
    Welington
    Ronnie Edwards
    Wood
    Archer
    Armstrong
    Charles

    The rest can go if the money is right and the manager agrees.

    I've left out Dibling and Ramsdale as they'll be off either way.

    I don't disagree with that but the problem will be if SR move to appoint a new manager at their normal pace, we'll be ****ed before the season even starts.

    We already had negotiations with Rohl, so if the new DoF wants him too, then I'd expect it to move pretty quickly.

    Who knows what the new DoF is thinking though!

    He’s worked with Rohl previously, so you’d hope there’s something there…

    I really hope you're right. The indications are promising and for me, this is a MASSIVE appointment. Get it right and we may do a Sheffield United, get it wrong and I can see us doing a Luton.

    Sheffield Wednesday owner pretty much confirmed it in a press conference. We went in for Rohl and he wanted to join us but Sheff Wed insisted on full compensation so it fell through.

    I didn't know that. When did they work together?

    Everything really does point towards Rohl.

    I'm honestly at the point where'd I'd bin the ****ing lot of them off tbh. Sick of the sight of basically the entire football club.

    Though saying that I'm going to Chelsea so maybe I'm talking bollocks.

    Juric has got to go. This man marking **** is as bad as Russball in it own way. Our 3 CB’s man mark so all the striker has to do is hold the ball up and lay it if to the midfield runners of which Brighton did time and time again. I think I have enough coaching ability to make this team harder to break down and it wouldn’t be by man marking and playing midfielders at CB and James Bloody Bree.
    Me and my 2 sons have all said that we won’t pay to watch this **** next season, and I’m sure by looking at the numbers leaving when the customary 3rd goal went in today, a lot would agree.

    Yeah, now that Juric has been here long enough for all the other teams to see exactly how he plays, it's clear to everyone that you can kill us with midfield runners. His tactic of having the CBs (who mainly aren't even CBs!) man-mark in open play is just suicidal. They got pulled out of position so, so easily.

    Exactly, and when you’ve got 1 holding midfielder having to win the ball, track runners etc, it just doesn’t work. Just want this season to end and for SR to react quickly. To be fair I’d act now, get shot of Juric and put Rusk in charge till end of the season.

    I can't wait to watch it in midweek, when Lesley will be ineligible to face Chelsea and Bednarek will presumably be injured.

    Yeah, he’ll probably put tall Paul in CM for his height?

    Yes, let your inner Nathan Jones out <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    I'd love to see the SR manager short list qualifications.

    1) Play players out of their natural positions
    2) Have an "identity" bonus points if you call it a philosophy
    3) A supreme arrogance in the face of appalling results
    4) Ability to chuck the players under a bus when 1 through to 3 is achieved.

    These guys are ****ing clueless
