“Leam Out” Brigade Have Killed My Club

We all know now our current owners (and I say that with a wink) didn’t back him in the summer but last season we fell over the line with easily the best squad in L1.
His loyalty to players and form to the start of the season was his undoing.
Prime example of what I mean. When Shinnie came he played players i.e. out of position playing Darikwa as a left back Power as a right back. I lost count how many we lost, It wasn’t working and he persisted.

He then reverted it then magically he pulled the rabbit back out the hat at home and we go in at half time losing in a game.
Magennis stunk last season but what did he do ?, He loved Power so which proved to me he had his favourites.
But one for me which speaks volumes

Hughes
Who the F had heard of him under Richardson????. I’m pretty sure Richardson had but like Aasgaard and a few more stood sweet f**kin no chance as he had his favs.
McGrath asked to play holding mid wtf ?? He’s an attacking midfielder and the very few times Richardson gave him licence to go forward he looked decent but alas he wasn’t in Richardson group of friends he preferred Keane or Power.
I’m sorry but Richardson’s bus had gone and it was time for a change. I was hoping under Kolo we might have a mix up fringe guys getting a go, inject some pace, the odd youth throwing in but right now all’s I can see is a total lack of pace, width, youth. Kolo was a defender and he’s trying to make the Alamo at the back and it ain’t workin so it’s backs to wall till were finally breached and we’ve no ammo to fire back.

This window is crucial, he needs to be backed and coin given. Please no more rumours of 18 year old lads, if your gonna go that bring our own through. I’d sooner see our own given experience rather than help the f**kin likes of Chelsea & Co. Stones Cze?. I heard a rumour about McGirk coming back, that won’t help us, a lad who can’t get in Leeds U21.

Rumoured Toffolo and Colback loans would have been 100% perfect. It’s that type we need to get us to the summer still in the Championship

We fell over the line, we won it because the League was that poor that everyone was sh1t so when we lost they lost.
Shinnie last season was sh1te. He came to the club with glowing reports from a poor Derby side who should have gone down.
He finished player of the season for Derby (pre admin) and they finished 4th from the bottom 1pt from the drop.
Granted he had a few half decent games for us but not good enough.
Look it’s horses for courses regarding Richardson similar to Cook. I always said LR was an excellent coach but his man management skills left alot to be desired.

Were Alex Ferguson or Neil Warnock good coaches ? But the man management skills were second to none. Their job was to get into the mindset of players especially Warnock and turn off that losing mentality button.

Richardson’s downfall was his loyalty to certain senior players. First in the teamsheet no matter how sh1t they played.
Subs?? Say no more those at times beggared believe so you no were Cook got that from.

What Richardson did for the club through our darkest days was nothing short of a miracle but alas he loyalty and failure to make changes was hiss undoing.

For me and I’ve said it more than once
Richardson = excellent coach
Richardson = very poor manager

And plenty thought like me that those above would struggle in the Championship. This League is super competitive far more competitive than L1 to the point were been good in League One means for nothing once your in the Championship.

Yes the above players are good players but as Shinnie proved at Derby (1pt from drop) he’s not good enough it’s all about levels

Our owners thought one of two things, bring in an high profile ex-player as manager who will attract players free-cheap-loan as Caulker said “Kolo was the attraction”
Or
Heavily fund Richardson who had no pulling power (cash been king) but considering how much our new owners spent in bailing us out and the monthly loss we create I kinda don’t blame them, were hardly a sleeping giant.

The ball is in the hands of Kolo. He needs players on loan battle hardened players who can get us out this current sh1tpit so in the summer he can prove his worth and have a proper window.
We need to integrate some young hungry quick players into the starting 11 (similar to Blackburn try) who can be guided and do the leg work for experienced older player.

I will not judge him till Christmas 2024. He needs one good summer window to clear out. I just read were looking at an 18 year old defender from Waford
Kolo, tip:

It’s not the time pal, not the time

I agree with you Skegs,

Think we would have amassed more points with Liam; certainly not any worse !
I fail to see what KTs game plan is and it’s very reminiscent of the Joyce era.
Wake me up when the nightmare is over.
And if anyone dares to blow smoke up KTs arse, then fine but please explain why he seems to favour Fletcher in the starting line up !!!!!!! I don’t think any Latics fan leaving today’s game would be foolish or brave enough to pick Fletcher. Yes, Liam had his favourites and now its becoming clear who KTs favourites are. Nowt much changed then

Agree with you also Mr Phoenix !

Work nights….total waste of a holiday and money. Keep giving this goal shy group of dossers benefit of the doubt. After the goal shy,yawn at Blackburn, Preston then Brum tonight capped it. Gutless,idea vacuum performance. Been many years since I’ve felt this disillusioned with our onfield efforts. Blame 100% on the owners for the naivety believing this squad good enough. Losing g and relegation I can swallow but that pathetic effort was I excusable. F%%% k ows how many Burnley will smash us…….
