DoF on 22:43 - Jan 7 with 6289 views | Whip_It | Success for us over the last five years amounts to avoiding relegation and not breaching FFP restrictions. Add to that the ruinous legacy inherited from his predecessors, and I think that Les and co have done a good job. To get better, we need to look at the models for success that clubs like Brentford have pioneered - and to emulate that, we need the Board to show some leadership. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Owners with brains, ambition and a plan. We're a London club one promotion away from the Premier League, the biggest league in the world. Alternatively, they could continue hanging around waiting to be gifted a new ground so they can develop Loftus Road, which is clearly why they're still here. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Who signs these players who coaches them ? yes it’s on the players but this lot have had 8 years now We were about 10 games into the season by October and like last season it falls apart when it gets a bit cold , it’s pathetic and yes I’m angry because the season is done yet again by January Nothing changes absolutely nothing | ![](/images/avatars/8151.gif) |

Would you not say Brighton, palace, Watford, Brentford , Fulham, Bournemouth etc are level 2 clubs even lower this cannot be used as an excuse time after time at some point you need to show some guts and bollox , I can accept 15th in the championship but to toss away cup times like we do with the same pathetic displays year on year starts to become tiresome | ![](/images/avatars/8151.gif) |

DoF on 23:45 - Jan 7 with 6031 views | Dixie_CT | Les and Ramsey have to go if we are to progress as a football club. Mental that Ramsey gets sacked as first team manager yet retains a job, ON THE SAME SALARy because his mate calls the shots. Yes the players are responsible for the performance on the pitch, but who signed them or gave ropey academy players such long contacts? Niko, Kakay, Shodipo and Owens, would have been released by the majority, if not every other, Club at our level. It stinks, it really does. Is there something else at play? Am I missing something? | ![](/images/avatars/6167.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I very much doubt that there are many millionaires stupid enough to waste their money rescuing a club with a dwindling support and a ramshackle ground with no way to improve it,and nowhere to move to.And one that is losing £1 million every month. Do we really want to go back to the days of bucket collections and supporters buying players out of their own pockets? I don’t know what the answer is,but ditching the owners isn’t it,in my opinion. | ![](/images/avatars/4993.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

And we’ll all be happy clappy fans watching our club sliding down the leagues. We got lucky in the early noughties because we had a manager who managed to cobble together enough players to stay in league 1,but there’s no guarantee that we could be that lucky again. And who would be stupid enough to buy this basket case of a club with a fan base so split? Mike Ashley anyone?Or maybe the Oystons could take over? | ![](/images/avatars/4993.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

My point is that the whole structure of the club from a football POV is a mess and yr point about where we were at the beginning of the season sums it up perfectly.MB leaves and within days the team are in free fall.There is no base to the squad,I have friends who have had their kids at the club,they say it is chaotic,parents disillusioned and consequently take the boys elsewhere.There appears to be a malaise within the club and that can only come from LF and CR.They have been responsible for creating football standards and systems within the club since 2015.How many boys have made their way thru the ranks to get close to 1st team ?. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

We were in free fall when the snake was still here as we’d lost 4 games on the spin.I don’t know the inner workings of the club so I can’t comment on the reserves and youth team players,but how many players have come through the system in the last 25 years?A handful maybe. And who can forget the youth team players on £90k at the turn of the century? I know there are major problems at our club,but in most of my 52 years supporting this club we seem to have been lurching from one crisis to another,even more so in the last 30 years. I don’t have any answers,but just blaming LF and CR for everything that goes wrong isn’t fair.We’ve had good spells in the last 7 years and we’ve had bad,but they’ve managed to keep our club away from the drop to league 1,which isn’t the case for similar sized clubs who are now in league below us. | ![](/images/avatars/4993.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
DoF on 08:41 - Jan 8 with 5522 views | PlanetHonneywood | Said it for years: the one consistent thread running through the decades I've followed this lot, is no matter whichever crook, clown, or charlatan is in charge, its our ability to be the author of our own misfortune at best, rank incompetent at worst. Frankly, if those currently at the helm can't find better people to run this sh1t-show, then maybe they could do us all a favour: wind the effing thing up and put us all out of our misery. Maybe we can meet each year on 24 May at LR, lay a wreath before we stroll to SB Green, and reminisce over a BBQ? Hopeless to the core and holding up as saviours those supposedly pumping £1m per month to keep it going ignores the facts that: we were better iff before they set foot in the place; they've spunked half a billion to get us to a worse place; and, I suspect they were probably only truly motivated by the thought of making a killing on property deals in the first place and have even left holding something they never and don't know what to do with. And as for Clive...please, don't waste your time writing up the latest FA Cup obituary. Give yourself the weekend off as no matter what you write, it's been said and written many times before. However if so inclined, literally take a leaf out the chapter in Tommy Docherty's autobiography on 'chairman'. | ![](/images/avatars/16575.gif) |

But look at those clubs progressed to get a reasonable foothold in the top tier or are doing a job of yoyoing between Prem and Championship. Our identity is firmly established in the past and it likely to remain there. The team currently lacks any physicality and ability to impose themselves and was even a problem under Warburton, he tried to address it, but ran out of time. It is going to be a hard watch to the end of the season probably with a bunch of players who have been told they are all open to offers in the Summer, if I was Critchley would not be building a side around any of the current crop of players, if he is still here by then. | ![](/images/avatars/26374.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

How he’s still in charge all these years later after the last 8 seasons we’ve had is unbelievable. Even he must be embarrassed. [Post edited 8 Jan 2023 9:24]

Bit harsh. He was "learning on the job", remember. And yes, we wasted our parachute payments but at least we didn't manage to be relegated - it's a tough job finishing above teams like Burton with their massive budgets. And you can't expect him to be responsible for things out of his remit. True, he is the Director of Football but that doesn't include responsibility for anything football-related. Most of all, he was a brilliant player for us and does the job because of his love of the club; his £500,000 salary is merely an encumbrance which he is forced to accept against his better judgement. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
