Why do you feel entitled to tell others how to support our club?

Everyone will have their view on how they wish to show their displeasure at Levy/ENIC/players

I have 2,200 reasons to vent my spleen at the players, manager and Chairman.

I find it incredulous that the man Levy put in charge until the end of the season cannot in a post match interview state why he thinks we are shipping goals for fun.

He like most of the first team, are gutless, over-hyped mercenaries who have no ambition, drive or desire. I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if Mason was to leave for a managers job at any other club.

We need to see a new broom sweep clean, rid us of freeloaders and bring in players committed to the club, none of which I have seen for most of this season.

So many players thought that they had arrived when we qualified for the CL last season, if only they had the attitude that the journey had just begun.

Give me a player with the right character over any Carlos Kick-A-Ball any day of the week. This has been the clubs philosophy over the past two decades, and it's about time Levy recognized this.

COYS!

Most of the players had their kids with them (sidenote: Dier has 3 kids? Or were they nieces/nephews?). They all went around and waved (including Hugo, Romero, PEH and others who weren't playing). Kane had his kids and pregnant wife so probably understandably didn't get right up to the fans. Sonny expecially made an effort to walk the touchline, but others stayed further on the pitch. PEH was playing with his kids in the centre circle for most of it. Lucas spent ages with the fans, signing shirts, taking photos, etc.

"Dier has 3 kids? Or were they nieces/nephews"

Well at least we now know he made three successful challenges without giving away a foul.

I don't think we need to shift "all of them" and no manager would ever consider doing that (Forest the exception).

We have had injuries to key midfield players one who has just returned. This hasn't helped out cause over the last quarter of a season. Conte (like Jose) being fired hasn't helped either.

The end of the day the new manager will want players and i would guess potential candidates have already informed Levy of which players they see as surplus to requirements, for what reason and who they would like to bring in.

Levy (despite all his bluster in his program notes) will never sanction half the current first team going on the cheap. But i do think N'Dombele, LoCelso, Tanganga, Sanchez and other fringe players will be gone in the Summer which will release a fair bit of salary cost that can be invested in new players.

For sure that defence will be totally different next season, it simply has to be.

Roll on end of season.
Its obviously unrealistic to ask or assume that we clear out the whole squad.

There's definitely at least 5 or 6 other than the 6 on loan that we need to sell though.

I'd be relatively unhappy if we saw Sanchez, Tanganga, Dier, Sessegnon, Perisic and maybe Hojberg playing any minutes for us next season...but I also can't see who'd take them.

"Dier, Sessegnon, Perisic and maybe Hojberg"

Good squad players, none starters.

Be very surprised if Perisic is here next season.

So how come we lost at home 3-1 to Brentford without them? Sounds odd unless of course you want to get rid of yesterday's players too.

Well it's Monday morning and I'm still wondering quite how we went from the first half performance to the second half shit show. The game should have been out of sight long before we just invited Brentford right back into it.

Hi FS, don't wanna be too finicky as I agree with a lot of your post.

But this phrase originated with the unfortunate, limited Alan Sugar who after the Ossie experiment deemed it essential to play only home grown players (at the exact moment foreign players were revolutionising Prem footie)with disastrous results. No more Carlos Kick A Ball he said.

So in line with the idiotic originators intent, are you saying no more foreign players, only Brits ? If so its a full-on disagree from me.
