    LR post match

    Pointless interview. Full of innuendo, if he cannot say, he shouldn’t say anything. Sounded like scared waffle to me.
    What the hell is going off at the club?
    If we are treading water waiting to get rid of the time wasters, just say so. When is this “proactiveness” going to start LR??
    Where is the chairman? What has he got to say for himself? Nothing.
    Clarity, clarity, clarity, get it all out, give us some confidence that things (and name them) will be done.

    It still sounds like waffle.

    Given me no confidence whatsoever.

    What do you want him to say, That some players don't want to play and aren't even watching the teammates? Some aren't even in the same country.........?

    Yes that’s what I want to hear some honesty and clarity

    Why not give him credit for saying that there is a lot wrong.
    Employment laws will be holding him back from calling players out, he's mentioned the training ground, give him credit for at least telling us something of the issues we have.
    TS needs to come out and tell us his views and how he will address the issues and see if they align with LR.
    Hopefully they do and we can start moving forward and planning ASAP.

    If players refuse to play they should be fined. Having said that, it's hard to disprove when they claim they're injured. We can ultimately thank Taylor for this complete shambles although Richardson is totally lacking in authority.(Warne also signed a couple of our duds.) Can you imagine how Cloughie or Warnock would have dealt with this bunch?

    I thought it was a good interview, he cannot say everything he wants to and he said that in the interview that he has to protect the integrity at the club. He was clear his recommendations are with the owners and the COO, no mention of the DoF at all!!! They have had them for over 2 months and they haven’t come back to him as yet, so the ball is firmly at Stewart’s door and it is time for the fans to realise he needs to step up or make it clear his intentions going forward. The training ground and support staff are clearly a huge issue and must be addressed, not just patching up a few drains. Every player that is not turning up or pulling their weight must be managed out of the club, in whatever way they can and quickly. It is very unlikely that our sellable assets will leave before late in the window, which means investment first before recouping some of that. If we hang back and don’t act now, next season will go the same way, that was clear in what LR said. So come on Tony and co what are you going to do, in the words of the great Kirsty all sop are you going to Love it or List it

    In the REAL world of management (of which I was a part) you have HR; verbal warnings followed by written warnings followed by termination of contract for those who underperform.
    In what realm of fantasy does it say that millionaire pigs' bladder booters are exempt?

    One undoubted problem, when have we ever bought and recouped after?
