Yeah I get it but my point was there are plenty of other Midlands based clubs if he wanted to be closer to his family. I don't know what the average reign of a manager is these days but it doesn't feel much more than 2 to 3 years so would come round again. Anyway, he's made his choice, we're fucked over again so let's see what's next...

Totally agree but his position from the outside looking in didn't appear crisis point to jump. The club is a mess but is it more of a mess than this time last year other than another 12 months added to the saga. At least league position wise we are in a better place and we've had significant investment of course...says tongue in cheek

Trying to look from a different perspective here and it's difficult but... Maybe what Eustace asked for is not realistic in the current climate. All back on Venkys as it always is but if the club can't commit to his requests then there really was no choice if his head had been turned. Another aspect for me...no club can invest now so why not see it out. If we inevitably drop away he's still over achieved and stock is still high. Next season there will be opportunities to return to the midlands. If he did achieve the impossible of which so far he's managed, then his stock would be even higher, maybe even with a promotion to his CV. I get he's pissed, as we all are but I still think the timing is a little odd. Of course on the inside of it all, if he has been misled, lied to etc. then no one wants to work for people like that. Club isn't interested in promotion. The desire for investment despite the opportunity before us will be knocked back because we are overachieving. It was never in the script. Why is Rudy and Swag not coming out all season praising the work of a manager and players defying the odds? In summary, Eustace wanted backing, Swag couldn't/wouldn't and he'll be gone before the day is out. Don't want it but as my Google feed has picked up a story on Wayne Rooney at the top of the page, I'm fearing it is more than a coincidence... Watch this space...

I was thinking the exact same

Brandon Thomas Asante

It's begun....we never got a call back after we made a very good offer....

Quite accurate but perhaps with the addition, be grateful

Might have already been mentioned but thought I read Rabbi Matondo on his way to Coventry and Al Hamadi going to West Brom

I think any signing this week will be emergency loans in reaction to the injury list

It's not what I was getting at. I was replying to another post about Forshaw being a JE choice. So just making the point that there were options.

Based on what. How low our standards have dropped if running wide and creating an impossible angle, heading into the side netting with the goal at his mercy, taking a shot from cutting in from the left with whoever it was arriving unmarked at the far post or perhaps another powder puff strike of the ball that draws an easy save. He tries and God loves a trier but could and should have been a different story. Beck wasn't outstanding but was better than Gueye. Appreciate there isn't many to choose from but do you're job!

Gueye man of the match - how?

To be fair he could have put Sanderson on at right back and kept JRC in centre mid. Injury would have forced change anyway but there was a choice

The only Juventus forward who played in Germany is Nicolas Gonzalez but he's on loan at Juve from Fiorentina. At 26 years of age and a market value of £34 million i think it's more likely a steward!

That's very true. I knew of Szmodics a couple of years before he joined as I live near Peterborough. I know he got goals from midfield and thought he would be worth a gamble but would have only hoped for 10-12 goals a season. But it's even beyond that, he ran his heart out for the club and he gave his all for the shirt as well which was worth as much as the 30+ goals he scored.
