It was only a matter of time, the way we have been playing, not really a surprise

If we keep playing this way, people wont be campaigning about Hicks and Gillet but Roy Hodgson

Another bit of great play from Konchesky

Its like watching us under Ged, pass the ball to Torres or hope it to falls to him so he can make something out of nothing

All these idiotic t***s at sky keep questioning why Torres doesnt look happy...so would any striker if they were having to feed off scraps and chasing long balls

FFS - I cant deal with this s***, its only a matter of time if we dont pressure and allow them to ping it around all game

What is the f***ing point, we get the ball, hold onto it, pass it sideways, try and knock it long to Torres, Mancs regain posession and then come back at us

Roy "mediocre" Hodgson :sob:

Jaysus, what is the point of Poulsen, they are just bypassing him...surely at some stage he will actually put in a tackle

Everytime RH starts talking...My limited faith in his ability is getting lower...

Because, Hicks will most likely give them equity and therefore a share of his deluded price when we are finally sold. It could all be bluster but I am starting to think this going to drag on and on...

Wonderful

Maybe they should change it to "reclaiming the club" and then they can be from RBS...

WTF, so they have been so secretive up until now....but thought they would release a statement that the two cancers wont be there but prospective buyers will be? Joke

This transition phase can only last so long, i think the biggest concern that alot of people have is the way we are setting up nowadays, sit back, limited pressure on the other team, knock it long and counter. We are basically the away team even when we play at home... Add to that the refusal to make any changes prior to the 75th minute even when a system is clearly not working, it just doesnt inspire confidence.

True, but we are all looking for that positive spark, something to cling onto and take a bit of hope from. We all know the situation off the pitch is a joke, if we were playing well then it would deflect from that (albeit slightly)...however currently we are a shambles on and off the pitch. What a sad state we are in atm

I am with you on this, Pelligrini was the one i wanted - plays good football, did well in the Spanish league with a small budget...its obvious though imo, I expect when asked who would you like to buy or how much do you think you need to spend...he must have actually given a figure...whereas with Hodgson they probably gave some spiel about having a proven track record of getting more of out existing players...read cheap, yes man who wouldnt rock the boat.

If they are running the club then there would be nothing stopping them imo, they own the debt and if they have people on the board could make the decision too.

Thanks, any ideas on timescales? Do you think it would be something that happens v quickly post Oct 6th?

We should have used the money from Masch to hire a good manager

Agree, he is isolated and having to feed off scraps all the time, and when he did get the ball there was no one to support him

Though would it be fair to say that he is not his usual reliable self? He struggled all of last season, and has been ok at best so far this season....

Yep, I would have played him behind Torres with Gerrard in CM alongside one of the Slow and Slower twins
