    Less and less arsed

    King going to have a massive shock when we struggle to sell 15k season tickets next season.

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    If we're the only ones interested then a small possibility but would think there's some clubs receiving parachute payments who would take him on a permanent and offer more than us.

    His wages would be way above anything we could even get close to you would think

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    What is the point of Holding on loan now. Obviously implemented a transfer policy which discourages loans so what would be the point in bringing one in now when the season is already over and wasting 6 months wages wages. Only way this makes sense is if King is seriously worried about relegation

    Given the fixtures lampards start has been even worse than expected. The next 4 matches are bristol, blackburn, watford and swansea. Not world beaters but not shit either, lampard really needs to come up with some results to show some evidence of progress, if we come out of those 1-3 points...

    the issues

    I mean, we do have this in a way. I'm pretty sure some managers will have written in to their contract they can be sacked for a reduced compensation package if they get relegated etc. Remember when we sacked Pressley it was rumoured we could sack him for a reduced compensation as we were in...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Based on what are we a better option than QPR? Player is only on loan so isn't bothered about where we will be in 2 or 3 seasons or how much money we might spend on transfers. Based on prospects for this season we are the same really.

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Honestly this is a difficult one, we absolutely shouldn't be selling our best players, especially with a lot of time on his contract. At the same time King is only taking us down so suspect his value will only be lower in another 12 months and he doesn't seem to really want to be here either...

    Our progress

    12 points from those 8 games is an underperformance no doubt, not quite a disaster but it's underachieving for sure.

    Dean Austin position untenable

    The issue with saying Austin must go is that King is sitting up there telling everyone that him and Austin have done a fantastic job in recruitment.

    What's up with Ben Sheaf?

    Obviously wanted his move in the summer which he didn't get. Not that he isn't trying now but he's seemingly lost that edge/drive in his performances.

    We're still so shit in central midfield, insane that King believed we didn't need anyone in that position.

    Sakamoto quality footballer, if he's not involved in the game its cause we're not doing the right things to get him on the ball in the right positions.

    Abysmal first half, gifted a chance for 3 points and never really looked like seriously taking it. Serious questions for the Lampard regime already. If we're not showing any signs of improvement by Swansea I would be making a change.

    Well King knows if he says the squad is shit it reflects very badly on him. So it's easier for him to say that King and Austin have done a great job in recruitment and it's all coaching and tactical are issues.

    We have an amazing squad according to King, so i don't think he will see it the same
