Limited spend last three years, richest league in the world, billionaire owners, spent £183m less than our local rivals. Makes you kind of wonder where all the money has gone and before anyone says Sakho and Benteke, and then PVA, Kouyate, Milivojevic, you can add that lot up and it still comes to nowhere near £100m let alone £180m . Methinks the septics are siphoning money off to their US companies.

The bbs go through the company accounts with fine tooth combs so any money going astray would be common knowledge within hours of the company accounts being available. Our wages are incredibly high for our size and budget, hiding for years our inept transfer strategies and tools to deliver. I.e - none.

Love Roy, but yes time to go for me. I’m even beginning to miss Pardew, at least the games were enjoyable even if we were heading for the trap door

I was reminded of Hodgson earlier today when hearing a discussion on Jack Charlton who has just passed away.
When he managed the successful Ireland team he would leave more talented players out like Liam Brady and David O’Leary to accommodate workhorses who would conform to the tactical plans.
Similarly Ray Lewington has said players won’t be selected by Hodgson unless they do exactly what he requires.
Both old school managers I suppose, but sometimes difficult for fans to accept when performances are dull and sterile.

Which is probably why wilf has lost his mojo and luka doesnt go over half way or any players shoot from farther than 10 yards.

Funny I could have sworn Wilf's goal against Chelsea was hit from about 30 yards out. Who can ever forget Andros's goal against Man City.

it's rare that players do it and the odd times they do they end up being awful.

just look back at Wilf history how many of them has he done you can count them on one hand and this is suppose to be a world class player the guy even misses a lot of chances close up the other week he missed a sitter plus messed up with 1 on 1 with keeper

Just watched the first half an hour of the Sheff Utd-Chelsea game. Wilder is giving an absolute masterclass of how a team with a small budget should be playing. Chalk and cheese how we played against Chelsea last week.
Is it too much to ask the players to move more, especially when transitioning from defence to attack? Our players look so static when I watch us. How I'd love us to have an Enda Stevens left wing back to get forward and give crosses to Benteke.
I love Roy but we need to think very carefully who our next manager is. We need someone young, hungry and with progressive thinking like Wilder.
We are all realistic and don't expect to win a lot of games, but all I read is we want to see some attacking and to give it a go. Wilder seems to have this balance with his team, why can't we?

The person, who is not connected with our club, shared my concerns about our prospects next season.

Thought the Chelsea side we played last week was probably the weakest line up they have fielded against us since we were promoted. Lots of emerging talent but they aren't quite their yet.

That team had us dead and burried after 27 minutes, but were thrashed by Sheffield United yesterday.

A lot of people have been saying the league is getting stronger. I'd disagree. Liverpool, Leicester, and Spurs are better than they were. Man City are about the same. Man U, Chelsea, and Arsenal are a shadow of their former selves. The rest of league aren't much to write home about.
