Petty good article in the Guardian this morning by Jacob Steinberg this morning that sums it all up.

Yeah, he nails it, and so many have said similar. Seems Nuno will be leaving and not because we got relegated.

Now, you cannot tell me that we hadn't planned for this ahead of time?

Therefore (and maybe the board have, but I doubt it; he will holiday first), the wheels should already be turning.



On the upside, we got Fearon, Potts, Earthy and Kante midfield for next season, with Hermandsen, Scarles and Kwp. We have Dan Cummings to play up front with Callum Wilson if he stays, so couple cbs and we dont have a bad 11 that should hold its own.

Bellamy as manager with new owners (ok, unlikely but I can hope).

Dan Cummings has been awful for the u21s - doesn't even get a game most of the time. Would much rather see Ajala get game time up top, and also don't forget Marshall returning from loan unless we sell him.
Golambekis and Myers at the back, too.

Young players won't get us up next year. None of them are close to being ready. We'll rely on Mads, Kwp, Scarles, Soucek, Wilson and Kilman. These players are too good for the Championship, but not good enough for the Premiership.

If we are relying on Soucek and kilman i don't think ill bother with next season, plus the midget in goal will get bullied at every corner and long throw in with no VAR, I agree we need a couple of older heads but they need to be good and leaders, plus you don't know if the youth is ready i'd say Scarles, potts, Marshall, Earthy are definatly ready for championship others just need a chance I hope they get one and aren't stuck behind carthorses like Soucek and kilman

Brooking 10, as others have said, this whole necessity of getting back to the Prem without a long term plan is exactly why we are in this position. Just to get there and hope for the best.
Killman, no thanks. Souchek has looked okay in some games this season, and he is a fans' favourite, but it's time to say goodbye to him, I feel. He has only looked so good because he is partnered with Fernandez, who is a proper player.

I think Hermandson will struggle without Disasi and Mav to help him. We do need some senior players, and I would like to keep Wilson to sort of mentor some of the other young strikers. I've heard good things about Golambekis and Mayers when played in central defence, and we have Scarles. I would try and keep Kwp, as he is quite versatile.
We also have Kante, Potts, Magassa (currently) and Fearon.
