No one has owners as bad as ours

(Live fast) Dai Yongge possibly the worst. But yeah, Venky’s have to be up there.

Bristol City and West Brom have so much more grit and determination about them than our lot, that's why we will finish below them. I don't think either are much better than us, to be honest. It's mindset and the ability to battle, consistently. These are some of the main characteristics that have been sanitised out from this squad since Venkys rode into town.

Let’s be honest we will drop like a stone as we always do. Absolutely bog standard second half of the season capitulation.

danny rohl undoutedly the manager of the year considering sheff wed are as big a basket case as we are in the owner stakes

Nowhere near.

They've a long way to go to reach our level.

Difference is their fans don't queue around the block to lick the owner's boots the way our lot would if they ever bothered to turn up to a game.

Eustace will keep Derby up I'm sure, some of the Rovers lot are going to end up with egg all over their faces.

If anything Cardiff and Derby winning only makes tomorrow that much more difficult. Stoke simply have to beat us looking at that table. We know how that usually goes.

Not that we need any more ammo against them but yeah, Waggott, Pasha and the cretins will all come out of this looking even worse than they already do, Derby survive and we continue to slide down the table. 

Next season we'll be struggling and Derby flying, probably with half our squad.

Still, least we had some inflatable reptiles around our necks.

They’ve also spent a lot more money on players.

Saw a Cardiff fan posted this on the Championship subreddit. Tickled me 🤣

Highly recommend that sub: loads of great discussion, stats, self deprecation and piss taking. r/championship

Well, yes, that too. And that's another of the scandals of our ownership. However, I do think the right kind of players/attitude brought in goes a long way and doesn't always require large amounts of expenditure. We have generally done the opposite of this.

Disagree. We’ve been challenging for the play offs in 2 of the last 3 years. The mentality was fine under JDT, as it was under Eustace. You don’t challenge at the top end of the league unless the mentality is right, especially when you have one of the lowest budgets in the league.

The issue is the owners and their negligence, the issue is not the players attitude.
