So you are in the camp that suggest I am a Bamford "fan"?

Look at my comments about the guy, and for once, just once, try to apply a degree of balance when reading my posts. He is a spent force, he is burnt out, he isn't the player he was in the last season of the Championship and the first season in the PL, how many times do I have to agree that that is the case?

He was left to hold the line, when the club sold the only other out and out striker, and made no effort to provide any kind of support/succession, THAT is fact

He provided more goals on his own than any other player in the two seasons I refer to, THAT is fact

He has continued, up to and including the game against Barcodes last Saturday, to provide assist that have led to crucial goals that may just save us

He has played whilst injured, to his own detriment as a player, fact.

He's not Kane, or Salah, or Vardy (although Vardy isn't the player he used to be, for similar reasons), he never was, and never will be. But the responsibility for the club not having a striker who might be isn't his (although you would think from the comments made that it was). it lies elsewhere, at the heart of this clubs malaise over many, many years, and not just since Radrizzani appeared.

The owner and his entourage, be it Bates, GFH, Cellino or the current wide boy, have seen LUFC through the lens of the Revie years and those that immediately followed them, and the fan base that such "in memoriam" views generate, as cash cows to be milked for as long, and as aggressively, as was possible, until as much has been produced as could be in the time taken before their limitations in terms of business acumen, financial clout and/or footballing competence have been exposed.

The disgraceful treatment of Bielsa, the lack of support for his vision of what LUFC could be, is why we are where we are, and the next asset stripper waits in the wings, promising everything that desperate LUFC fans would want, and as likely to deliver as any of those that have preceded them over the last three decades. Be careful what you wish for, it might come true.

"Doom and gloom" you say, I say someone who speaks from bitter experience of just how LUFC has been raped and pillaged over decades by those who would pick over our bones if they got the chance.
