It doesn't matter how much he gives Lambert if he's insisting on trimming the wage bill even more, because it's going to mean more lower league players, and that's no fucking use whatsoever.

Say what you like about Lerner, but as it stands, his stewardship is taking us down in the championship. To spend that much money and end up where we are now takes a special kind of cluelessness.

The bloke is fucking useless.

Shh.



Isn't it pretty.

Oh I agree, but some responsibility needs to be put on the manager.

Even a poor manager would have won that with a premiership quality squad, we are far from a premiership squad.

I wouldn't hold your hopes out on either of those. No buyer in their right sound mind would consider buying us in the state we are in.

Quite pissed off.
Apparently now 4 managers have spent badly.
MON, GH, TSM and now PL.

The poor guy can't seem to get it right.
I hear pep guardiola is looking to come into the Prremiership.
He'll probably spend badly as well.

Yes, of course, but you can't put last year and the year before on this manager.

He can want to sell us all he likes, but who's going to buy?

A new owner wouldn't have time to buy us and invest in the squad before the end of the month, I wouldn't have thought, so they'd have little impact on how we do for the rest of the season.

They may as well wait until the summer and see if we get relegated or not.

Oh and it's patently obvious that Weimann apart the rest of the youngsters are squad players at best.

I don't want him to sell us - you can't force someone to buy us.

I want him, if he can't be fucked to do it himself other than a game every three months and the odd email, to appoint someone with a brain - a proper grown up who knows what they're doing - to run the club for him, because it's looking like a disaster right now.

First, the inexplicable McLeish appointment - where was the continuity in that? Then the obssession with us becoming like Ajax, where you just use youth products and the odd cheap foreign league player, and hey ho, everything works out.

Truly clueless.

The Ajax thing rankles with me more than any other, as it is a piss poor attempt to hide a tacit policy of cost-cutting. This utter missingthepointitis is what needs to stop right now.

I don't want to hear another bloody sound-bite from the club. I want them to appoint a football man right now and make that man Steve Stride, because Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee know about as much about running a football club as my pet parakeet knows about quantum physics.

As ever, Paulie sums up my view better than I can. Lambert is far from blameless but Lerner really has been a special kind of idiot. After on paper getting everything right in the first few years (I emphasize the on paper bit of that) he and Faulkner have committed fuck up after fuck up for the past three years. As you say clueless.

The Ajax thing is flawed for so many reasons which are blatantly obvious to anyone who has even a passing knowledge of European football. i am sure Lerner has the best intentions, but he and Faulkner do not have the first clue.
