It's probably the worst state we've been in since the ramifications of the NTL fiasco hit.

And much like then, this mess is entirely of the club's own doing.

I think that's why I'm not really arsed if we go or we don't. If we stay up, it'll only be the same story next year, and then the year after that.

Think it’s worse than then mate, I think we brought in Carsley, Linderoth and one or two others after NTL didn’t we - remember the deadline then was back in March.

Honestly feel physically sick at the thoughts of going down.

The administration aren’t surviving before next season, even the most tolerant passive fans have now turned.

There was more than enough money to spend this season, but we chucked it up the wall in the summer.

Anywhere else, I'd agree completely about the board's position being untenable, but there's no way Kenwright walks away without cutting the ribbon on the new stadium. He'd see the whole project collapse before letting somebody else steal his moment.
 

Having been sacked by the team just above the bottom 3 a week ago, it’s as dumb a decision as hiring Nathan ‘my record speaks for itself’ Jones
I think there is probably logic in hiring a guy who got sacked by a team above the bottom 3, ie where Southampton want to go, whose team was playing better than that but not having much luck turning it into results.

He also made significant and immediate improvement to Leeds last year when he took over. I've seen worse gambles. For example one team thought hiring a guy whose team won 4 of 30 with him in charge and then 3 of 8 without him was a gamble worth making.

He's probably saying to himself right now 'nobody will hear the boo's through the photograph'

Go and tell all the Leeds fans that think he’s a joke and call him Yank Lampard that he’s a boss manager.

Only won 2 in 11 in all competitions since November, one was a cup replay the other was against a team in the relegation zone in League One
 
The proof is in the pudding. For now I don't care about playing style, etc., all that matters is staying in the PL. Then it must also be possible to have two thoughts in your head at the same time. One is about the here and now, and then we cannot be romantic, but rather cynical. Now is not the time for big football experiments.

The second concerns the future, and it is clear that over time we will have to develop our playing style, but what that means is not known. When there is a crisis, you need concrete and simple instructions, you don't need a revolution. Then it is also the case that football is not rocket science, and the basis is the most important thing to implement.

As a German coach said: if I had really been drilled in all the tactical elements that experts, bloggers, hipsters say I have done, then I would not have been a football manager, but a professor at some university.
