Did he? Because it seems the whole slate suddenly took a turn for the worse across the board. I think it makes far more sense that a change in recruitment staff was to blame than some idea you can be good with little money but poor with lots of it.

Literally only Tyler Walker out of all the signings over a nominal fee. And he was top scorer first year and did a job.

None of it counts. We were awful for eight years. Worst years of being a CCFC fan. Thank you Doug for saving us.

The question was “was there at any point a sign things were turning around?” The answer is “yes, just before the Derby game” Now you can say the Derby game makes it invalid, but that’s a different argument. There were signs of us turning a corner.

This is bollocks really isn’t it. Could easily say his record with Badlan scouting is better than it is with Austin. He barely wasted a penny until then.

I swear people don’t read the threads they’re replying to. Someone said there was no evidence of a turn around. I point to the six game period that was evidence and now it’s the wrong period, it’s cherry picking. You lot are hilarious.

Three and six aren’t the same number. Happy to help. We can do letters next week.

I think we’re lacking movement in midfield same as we were last couple of seasons at times without O’Hare. I think Allen offers you the best chance of that in the squad. I’m not convinced Saka is at his best playing inside a bit, even though his assist was outstanding. Maybe instead of Eccles...

I think in an ideal world we need someone with a bit of movement and passing ability that Palmer and O’Hare gave us in the final third. Allen isn’t that but he’s probably the closest we have.

TBF I think because in the old days there would be some static on the line even if silent and these days when the phone detects silence it doesn’t send anything I think so it’s actual silence.

That’s what I’m saying. I think Allen could be more effective than Saka there. It’s a more central role.

Who is on the right of that five then? Saka?

It’s not the wing, Lampards wide forwards play deeper and narrower. The full back or wide CM provide the width. More like a 4321

One game isn’t form.

The entire point was the form we were in immediately prior to the sacking. I’m not the one moving goalposts.

If bids are in and players want to go I wouldn’t be surprised. He seemed to imply wanting to stop players leaving was part of his motivation for appointing Lampard.

It’s at the point I’d consider Wilson just for his attitude. Am I Mark Robins?

I think MvE and Sheaf will be off bare minimum. Wright I wouldn’t be surprised to see push for a move and maybe Simms too. Wilson Bidwell Allen and Tavares are OOC and I’d cut our losses on BTA, Dasilva, Kitching and Collins. Start with: Dovin Thomas, Binks, Lats Eccles, Torp, Rudoni Saka, EMC...

TBH fair enough. He’s been fucked over, his opponent won’t give two shits about propriety and it’s his son. I’d do the same. The fact the president can pardon people is mental, but he can.

It was noticeable under Robins IIRC that without O’Hare we lacked that man offering an option and running past his man to draw a man until Allen came in at AM.
