We almost signed cunha as well, who did we sign instead of him?

McNeill? Summer 2022 I guess when Kudus was also heavily linked.

Palace and Wolves won’t go down.

It’s going to be 3 from

Us
Leicester
Ipswich
Southampton

We could easily not win again this year, the fixtures are that tough and we are that bad.

I need a new hobby.

Wolves won't go down, they've decent manager and better players, Palace im not so sure, think they're in it along with us and the other 3 mentioned. Think we'll end up on depending on 3 teams being worse than us again

Unless we sack this clown in charge we go

We are currently extrapolating 35 points from 38 games, under a manager who has zero desire or intent to win games, doesn't try to, just wants clean sheets and 0-0s from soulless, defeatist, negative, reactionay anti-football; plays for draws and sells draws as great results; just wants not to get beat and thinks he can drift to safety 1 point at a time with no requirement to win because that's what he used to do at Burnley 10 years ago and it usually worked.

The other 19 managers in the league seem to think they need to win games to achieve their objectives in 2024. I wonder which will be proven right...

Some people with their head in the sand in this thread. Benitez approached the job like he did when at Newcastle. Dyche is treating it the same as when at Burnley. Both were relegated.

We hired a guy who had a 26% win rate when he came here. A guy who had been unemployed for about nine months after being sacked for winning 4 in 30-or-so games I think it was. A guy who has lost 45% of all his games in his managerial carerer. A guy who had 4 relegations in 10 years was it?!?

No one with two brain cells to rub together should be the least bit surprised at where we find ourselves under this joker. No other club in the league would give him the time of day; we give him a 2.5 year contract. Says everything you need to know about this comedy club and the people running it.

The trouble is though his style relies on endless spamming of crosses and also players just running and taking pot shots from edge of the box. McNeill did waste a couple from promising positions first half.

It is a very 2000s style. I actually prefer that type of Football to now but it's not really going to succeed when so many clubs have perfected endless passes and then you play a quick counter to the byline and drag the cross back to six yard box where someone is arriving for a tap in.

I'd personally sack him now and get in Potter before another relegation rival (Leicester/West Ham) do. Yes it's a gamble as he might not hit the ground running but I'd like to think by March you'll see some of the creatives in the team like Ndiaye and Lindstrom really start to come good and helped by a couple of other signings.

I think that's the best hope for the season. Give Dyche another month with the fixtures and it could be a really desperate situation the next one inherits.

I'm definitely in favour of replacing Dyche but Potter teams can't score. It's a match made in relegation heaven.

Looking at the next 7 games to the end of the year, the master tactician THT he is… wouldn’t surprise me at all if we lost 7 on the bounce…

Whatever City can do…

Maybe our last goal in 2024….Enjoy

 

[Wat Tyler]

Need a favour from MUFC today. Such a miserable few years we have had needing favours all the time.

I think we'll lose all bar the two against Forest and Bournemouth, is it?

The others are write-offs with this gang of useless cowards (players and manager).

Not sure if anyone else was really interested in taking the job when he was hired. He was a cheap option when we were short of cash. He took Burnley up to the PL and into Europe. A lot of teams have come up and had a high finish but slowly dropped away and were replaced by another club that went through the same process. He showed he was very eager to take the job knowing the position we were in and the decision to hire him worked for the first 18 months. This season has been a disaster, and could get even worse between now and the new year, but at least we don`t have him tied down past the end of this season.
