I’ve absolutely no doubt we’re going down. I thought that we would last season way before the new year and am still amazed how we didn’t. This league is big big boys cash. Our pocket money just doesn’t cut it sadly.

Nor should it. Of all the teams that stayed up last season we’re the worst, the squad had not been improved in any way and Barber has already been in the media saying the prices are too high, not expecting much from the transfer window or the season in general

These aren't the players you're looking for.

Pull yourselves together, have you forgotten where we were in January? We were 13th looking likely to get a mid table finish, until the wheels fell off and Chris decided to try to defend our way to survival.
This squad is good enough to stay up already, and we still have more arrivals coming.
One preseason defeat and the white flags are out already.

That's true. Leicester apparently "gazumped" The Mighty St Mirren in the signing of Mahrez

Dear oh dear oh dear. 1 meaningless friendly defeat and we're going down already. Come on what's the matter with some a lot would of been learned today and G P will of taken a lot from it but that's all that matters it's about fitness and just a training exercise.
One pre season game in and you are already negative

I'm not sure that I agree. Our performances didn't merit the results that we were achieving in the period up until Christmas last year, and we were very lucky to get those (undeserved) points in the bag early on. We were incredibly efficient at converting our chances during that period, but it wasn't as if we were peppering the opposition's goal with loads of opportunities.
While I accept that Hughton has to shoulder a lot of the responsibility for negative tactics, he really didn't have a great deal of quality to work with - and that is what concerns many of those posting on this thread.

Agree. Why is he going for such a knock-down price? Doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

I think it will come back and bite us if it goes through and thought he could do better playing a more attacking game. Very strange, maybe he talked himself out of the job.
Yep gonna be a long season now the transfer window has slammed shut.

I reckon he hinted at a move away in May.
This stuck out at the time : "This will always be the main club in my life no matter what my career holds in the future, I will not find a better club than this. They’ve done so much for me, it will always remain a great club that did everything to make me happy."
I did wonder if he knew he was off when he said that, and bookmarked the quote.

Some ' Red Tops' reporting a sale now of between £12m- £15m and some a loan now and sale next summer, which is it anybody ITK?
Definitely better than Ali J. Do you think Solly is better on the right or left?

Silly old bat
Maybe he didn't want to stay after Chris was sacked?
I see what you mean. This has been on the cards for some time then. Still doesn’t make it the right thing for our club tho’...

A loan move doesn't make too much sense to me as we could use the sale money to help strengthen the squad! Knocky may not be a regular in the team for us this season, but he's one of the few players we have that could change a game as an impact player. I would happily do a player exchange plus cash for anyone of 3 or 4 Fulham players, cairney, mitrovic, etc but £15 million only buys you a bog standard player these days, and Knocky is better than bog standard!
