Few facts of interest, NO bid was ever made for either John Egan or Hayden Hackney
Noble DID recommend NNADI to WH as well as MATHIAS DELORGE of Gent
He was ignored on both, why waste money on him chasing around, looking at players, that apparently were never even considered
Noble will say nothing he's on 50 k a week, but he must be thinking, what' is going on here!
The answer is with Sullivan Your wasting your time, you can promote any names all will be ignored
Clubs a complete mess
02 Feb 2026 17:30:53
Agreed joyful. And we blame nuno?
Only one person to blame gor the entire mess
02 Feb 2026 17:37:05
Sad really isn't it? Maybe mother nature just needs to do it's thing re Sullivan. It's like torture living under his ownership
02 Feb 2026 18:09:04
If by some miracle we do get disasi, and we can get him fit, he could be just what we need. Whilst not comfortable passing the ball about, he is a solid defender who commits himself and works hard.

Mac, you are wrong. The entire blame does not rest on Nuno’s shoulders. I think we all know at whose door the blame lies for how bad the club is run. However, Sullivan did not select Saturday’s team, nor direct the tactics or make the team changes. He selected the dumbo who did.

Tin. Have u thought we've had 3 decent managers this season who couldn't get a tune out of this lot. Yes, nuno has made some bad decisions, but he has finally got us playing with some conviction.
Let's not be blinded by the defeat at Chelsea, if tobido had scored it would've been game over. Small margins lie between victory and defeat in the Premier league and as we all know, when you got your opponents by the throat, you have to take the chances to kill them off.
To sum up, although he has dropped some clangers, there is finally a ray of hope we could actually get out of this mess.
My problem is that even if ge does, I fear we will be having the same conversation every season until this board has gone.
Burnley is the acid test. Lose that and its over

Sullivan, Potter and Nuno all equally to blame for this current mess. We have lost 18 points from winning positions this season. Those 18 points would have put us in 7th on 38 points! Sullivan wouldn’t put his hand in his pocket for Cresswell etc and Nuno keeps trying to protect leads with Kilman in the back 4! Both are B*ll*nds obviously as is Potter!
02 Feb 2026 19:28:22
Sullivan is ultimatl6 to blame but that doesn't mean Nuno shouldn't shoulder his share of the blame aswell terrible team selections, tactics and substitutions throwing away points are totally on him
02 Feb 2026 19:41:03
Even by our usual disastrous windows this has to be one of the worse. Or at least the end part. The inability to get in a 2 half decent CBs and a creative midfielder is a joke and the fact we seem to have got one CB in on loan who by all accounts the manager doesn’t rate and it seems that the player didn’t want to come here and his ability and fitness is questionable at best.
Obviously I hope our worries about his ability are unfounded and he rediscovers his early form with Monaco which has been said to be decent

Dabber I’m sorry mate but you are are being far too fair to Sullivan there giving him equal billing for our current predicament. The whole reason we are in this mess ALL leads back to Sullivan and Brady’s door. And the way this club is still run like an unprofessional outfit from the 80s. The chairman that buys the players. That hires poor manager after poor manager and also didn’t get shot of Moyes after the euro win. Where has all the money gone? How much money are people like Brady earning.
He operates in the transfer window like Arthur Daley.
As much as Killman has been terrible he isn’t to blame for everything. And as he has been that bad why does Sullivan not replace him. Nuno has cost us points and Potter was a turgid manager out of his depth and Loppy was totally unsuitable to this club Sullivan thought he knew best with all these appointments. Our club has become a laughing stock due to shoddy little person
03 Feb 2026 11:41:04
Fair enough Hammer-D mate, you are right Sullivan is the main culprit and is worse than a B*ll*nd, he’s a nasty, narcissistic con man! I had real hope that Nuno could turn things around when he took over but I just don’t have time for somebody who makes the same mistake over and over. Our defenders can't defend under pressure including the goalkeeper and yet Nuno invites that unwanted pressure onto them by trying to protect leads. As for Kilman unless Steidten is a complete amateur there must be a half decent player in there but he’s obviously devoid of any confidence, he even made a signal to heaven when he came on on Saturday which I’ve never seen before.
I’m generally a positive thinker and still believe we can just about escape being relegated but only because the forwards and midfield have hit form. I think that is down to Nuno’s new number 2, an attack minded coach. I want us to stay up because relegation could mean massive problems for us as a club however whatever speeds up the demise of the poison dwarf and his sidekicks also appeals. Sorry for the long winded response and appreciate your comments as always HD

Hey DH don’t worry about the long winded texts, I’m a specialist. ?
Your points are very valid I’m similar to you in your opinion of Nuno as I didn’t see him as a long term solution but did think he could keep us up. It’s now looking very doubtful and h[e has to take responsibility for that because of his horrendous substitutions.i feel he has done some good stuff and if it is down to him the change to a more attacking style then good on him. I suspect it may be the new coach that has done this. Because this upturn in style has only happened since he has been here.
I think weather we stay up or drop Nuno needs to go and I would take a chance on the Spanish coach to take over. I’m sure he has nothing to do with the substitutions. Killman is zero in confidence he didn’t do anything particularly bad the other night (nor did the rest of the defence) but he understandably looks nervous. But here is where the poisoned dwarf is ultimately to blame for continually having a stupidly small squad and no defence alternative apart from bargain basement options.

Sorry Dabber meant DH not HD

You’re right HD about the new coach, Paco Jemez, apparently recognised as an attack minded coach and actually fell out with Nuno over one of his substitution decisions a couple of weeks ago.
As our defence minded head coach is not learning and our owners haven’t helped them by buying any meaningful better alternatives I’d like to see Jemez given a crack at it ……at least it would be fun ?
