We started well enough, but a combination of bad luck and our usual lack of quality saw us well beaten. This transfer window is the last throw of the dice and we still have it all to do in terms of signings that might save us. The three we have lined up will only help at the margin. If the owners want to stay up they will have to lay out a lot more than 3 x £5m. |  | |  |

No offence but you think he'd have returned?
Celtic - far easier job. At most two tricky domestic league games. Deep cup runs. Permanently qualify for europe. More money.
Swansea - keep you up in a relegation battle. |
From what i heard he was willing to come back for the right money. | | | |

Of course it is all iffs and buts. But today he dragged Burnley to a huge win.
I'd have brought him in and given him the armband whenever he played. If he wants to tell Naughton or anyone else to fu*k off and threaten him every time he chickens out of a challenge then great. It is what we need.
Players can make cowardly decisions all game with no repercussions because there is nobody on the pitch to hold them accountable. |
agreed - we desperately need a Barton-esque CM General | | | |

Remember how Ash would sprint half the pitch just to swear in Montero's face whenever he didn't track back? There is no one in the squad who takes responsibility any more. None have that sort of attitude. |  |

One game though, small sample size being fair. Against us in the Champ he was fairly poor, didn't move beyond a ten yard area.
I fully agree with your accountability point. You lack leadership, definitely and that's why confidence inside your squad has dropped so dramatically.
What you need imo is another Bodde, Someone getting stuck in, motivating by their actions on the pitch. | |

I'm not entirely convinced barton would be the right man but i think some of our players need to be challeged more on the field by their team mates when they are clearly not giving 100% | | | |

Oh come on. He was arguably the best midfielder in The Championship last season, being named in the team of the year. One fairly poor game against you is a small sample size too. | |

Find that very difficult to believe. Rodgers has always been about his bleached teeth image.
Joined you at a good time after his previous managerial stints had been poor. Made his name getting you up and in the Prem. Liverpool, did well in some ways, had good chance to win title and didn't - had lost some of the dressing room.
Would his ego have felt he could easily have kept you up, taken you on ( the harder job ) or would his ego have wanted the Celtic job, more glamorous and also incredibly easier? | |

Indeed - in the Champ he had good games, he also had bad games. Was he consistent enough to deserve being on team of the year or was he n their based upon his name status?
Think it's also safe to say Dyche is someone Barton wouldn't want to f*ck around with, so Barton would have incentive to behave.
Let's also not forget Barton turned Burnley down to go to Rangers citing that he "wanted new challenge". A new challenge against inferior opposition ( Celtic excepted ) on higher wages. He's a mercenary. Can lead, sure but would you fully trust him? | |

That would be a major surprise. Getting possibly relegated would tarnish his "bright young manager" image. | |

I wouldn't trust any footballer to do a good job. I'd have more confidence today if I saw the same lineup but with Barton in midfield instead of Cork though. Even if he did only manage to play for 60 minutes. | |

Not disagreeing on that point - Cork's poor performances have really surprised me, always liked the look of him at Southampton.
You definitely need a leader in midfield, a ball winner hell even someone willing to hack down when required - I firmly believe sides need that spine down the center. Don't believe Barton is that person, but there's bound to be someone you can get in capable of doing that role. | |

Laudrup was telling us this 2 yrs ago.
Huw thought he knew better and plenty of fans were happy to side with him . Most sensible people could see how our path would go. Monk and his clique,monk the pet manager of huw, huw s lucky dip signings, club coffers being inflated to get ready for sale, quick sale to yanks,yank consultants,yank manager followed by a quick re dress and relegation from the top table.
The most staggering mis management of a business ever seen,all that needed to happen was a steady hand and sound investment as and when needed .
No wonder tutu wanted to give Jenkins a slap.
Pray for a miracle guys but the show is pretty much over. |
Sorry, but I don't believe a word of that. Laudrup could have whinged all he liked, but we'renot Man C. We're not Chelsea. We can't afford to compete financially. We have to try to build a squad on the cheap ( |  | | |

It's a bit unfair asking individual fans to come up with solutions. Swansea are £150 million business and have a gaggle of scouts that are meant to be the experts. | | | |

why the fvck people are talking about Brenda and laudrup is beyond me, they are long gone jeez give it up already. guidolin I accept as a conversation as hes relevant to this season.
on a different note despite what some are saying here that was a vastly improved performance despite what the score suggests. when you consider we have the worst defence in the league and they are the highest goal scorers away from home it gives a little perspective. not that that's an excuse but we were incredibly unlucky with some of those goals and when your down the bottom that's the kind of shit that happens unfortunately.
I'm not sure if we will survive as I think the damage was done well and truly over the past few months, but at least today I could see a different team and as long as we put in the same performances as today we will get wins there is no doubt about that. |  | | |

not quite sure what you mean?
I am no expert hence my question, but to be fair, the question wasn't directed to you but the person you were talking to, who is keen to always deconstruct the team without offering a realistic strategy forward. | | | |

Didn't Laudrup build a cheap team ? One that won a cup and got us Europa league ?
Surely his way of small squad high quality was the way forward ? How many millions are spent paying the wages of rubbish players at scfc ?
As much as I love rangel,routs,leon,taylor and dyer they should have been phased out years ago, when somebody tried to do it all he'll broke loose and the wrong clique won. Supported by the insane huw Jenkins.
Anyway? Spilt milk . Clement is a good coach I'd take relegation for a long term plan with a fresh approach. |  | | |
