All jokes aside, the owners who have rightly been praised for what they’ve achieved with your club need to bear the brunt of the blame on this. They haven’t invested or put themselves in a position to invest without breaking FFP rules, and that sets a rot into the club very quickly. Your club has imploded due to poor management, possibly because they had an arrogance that they were too good to go down.

Completely agree ... which is why I said I was angry yesterday...

Always been my view that anybody not wanting to be at the club should be sold, albeit on our terms... those that have been prepared to run down contracts should have been sold while they still had some value because their lack of commitment has permeated throughout the squad ... we used to hound the opposition when out of possession... we now seem to just stand and watch them passing round and through us before putting in a half hearted lunge ...

Brendan Rodgers matchday team selections were baffling ... even now we are picking a mix of half fit guys with others just going through the motions before getting lucrative moves ... I'd rather be playing kids from the youth team ...

The pre-season non-investment in the squad has come home to roost ...

Individual errors including penaly misses have been catastrophic...

There is talent there ... putting 4 goals past Spurs and in away wins at Wolves and Villa showed that ... but they have just been flashes ...

Club now needs a complete overhaul ... and if that is in the Championship so be it ... you get what you deserve by the end of any season.. and us and Saints are where we are on merit <laugh>

I don't have a particular view on it tbph, I do agree thinking about it though, that net spend is a bit bogus, because it would need to be based more over a period of time, rather than just one season, which don't really tell you a lot.

The only one that really caught my attention on there was Chelsea, what the hell is going on there! With Brighton I'd ask more what did they spend the season before that, and then the previous seasons., rather than just reflect on 2002/23.

lol I remember reading that in my teens.
Thats the one where some human soldier travels on a space ship to fight some aliens, and due to some problem with the light speed drive, when he returns a couple years later, 50 years or something has passed on earth and due to over population the government has mandated homosexuality <laugh>

It does anger me that that officials think they can make horrendous and egregious errors and think they dont have to take responsability for their incompetence, like they are untouchable.
Yes sometimes the backlash from morons can be harsh (Death threats and the like, there are always ******s I am afraid), but most of the time its just normal fans wanting them to be held accountable for their incompetence and for the rules to be followed as written.
I was all for VAR when it was mentioned first, as video refereeing has been utilised almost to perfection in rugby, cricket and tennis, yet these ****tards cant get their act together and do it properly when it comes to football.
 
Football should have refs like in ice hockey where they just leave the punches flow…..not sure it will look so manly with football players flashing handbags around like shoppers on a Black Friday sale in harrods mind

I don’t see why refs (or VAR officials) can’t be interviewed after the game just to clarify how they got to their decision. We may still not agree but it would help to see where they’re coming from.

Now we have a refereeing body who get incredibly defensive over any ref criticism with next to no explanation or action taken following a horrendous decision.
