I would think very few, if any. Based on their performances this season who in the Championship would want them? The players are not going to want to move to lower leagues and lose their current wages. Only chance we have of a clear out is those players out of contract at the end of the season.

I accept Walters was a poor manager but we were really sold some poor players and I have seen nothing to suggest they may come good. Durban and his beauty team need to go. They did nothing at stoke and so far have done nothing here.

I understand we are without 2 of our top players and the missing link or should that be Sink but even with them we are still shipping too many soft goals and there is a lack of leadership on the pitch.

does anyone think we have any semblance of a leader on the pitch?
No leader on or off the pitch....

Yup. Unless we can shift 40% of the squad we are knackered. It's evident for those who want to look at it with realism. This isn't down to Tim or Selles, the man responsible was sacked before Tim.

You’re blaming Rosie, who finished 7th last season, for us now being bottom of the league?

<laugh>

I'm talking about Tan. Acun knows he has signed players that Tim didn't want and can't play at the level. The dodge pot has left us in this situation and Selles hasn't got a hope in hell of bringing in enough quality to stay up on the last two performances.

I backed Giles but it was evident today he doesn't care. He defends like he is trying to avoid getting injured. I've never met a defender who plays like that.

Very good
I’ve tried to think of a way of describing Giles’ play and that’s it
Closes down but not close enough to block or get hurt

I've given him the benefit of the doubt due to not being involved enough but watching him twice back to back is enough for me to give up on him. I'm sure Tim felt the same. Will be interesting if Ruban keeps trying to get a tune out of him.

I doubt he will
A left back getting subbed on 59 minutes is embarassing

He needs to be out the door in January and the money used on another player, one who is gonna put the effort in.

If Tan was responsible for all our signings, then Acun is even more clueless than I thought.
He was in charge of the club. Owners generally trust the CEO to make signings and would only get involved if really needed. You think he has time to deal with the amount of agents a CEO speaks to?
Agents don't deal with owners, which is why they work with them to sign crap players and share the agents fees. There is one that is often mentioned that was prolific at it. Probably still is.
