Lose v spam and his gone 100% I reckon. With kloppy primed for caretaker. Just shows it’s not all about throwing money at it.

29 Nov 2025 12:26:00
Here's here til Liverpool

We have Chelsea Wednesday and Liverpool Saturday. At what point do we squeeze in a new manager?

28 Nov 2025 21:31:51
Could this be farke”s last game?

29 Nov 2025 00:18:55
It depends on score line and how they play . 5 and over I think he's gone.

29 Nov 2025 00:29:27
No.

He has until Liverpool. He's here another week. 49ers won't act until the fans have turned on him.

29 Nov 2025 07:35:33
I doubt all fans 'will turn on him tho.
There are still many who believe that until a credible and obvious upgrade is identified, and an agreement is reached, that there's absolutely no point in the cost or upheaval of ditching him.
To my mind, there's still a lot of logic in that perspective.


Additionally, and this is a guess, there must be an expectation that we are going to get truly gubbed today, especially after Citeh's midweek performance? That in mind, I suppose this gives Farke a 'bye into the next match?

29 Nov 2025 08:06:09
The cost Dosent matter. It’s peanuts in the football world.
There are hundreds of managers to choose from although if reports are right and Ange is one of them. A. That Dosent surprise me given the current owners credibility and B is that the best you can do?
How can you consider a manager that dyche has shown to be useless.

Aiming high there.
We most certainly will get brained today and we will still keep him until pool.
A mess from top to bottom.
Maybe the fans should direct their. You don’t know what you are doing. Chants to the owners too.

{Ed025's Note - they are very unlikely to change the manager yet Aus especially with the next 3 games being against very tough opposition, if a new manager is to be appointed they will want to give him easier teams to try to get off to a decent start mate..

29 Nov 2025 08:30:40
I understand that Ed. Very unlikely until after pool. But if you turn Farke upside down and check his sell by date. I’m pretty sure it will read 18/ 10/ 25.

{Ed025's Note - love it Aus..

29 Nov 2025 10:37:08
Unless a new manager can perform miracles then I don’t see any point in getting rid of Farke in my opinion.

29 Nov 2025 11:56:35
In a PSR world, when does cost not matter Aus? Peanuts to one, is caviar to another.

29 Nov 2025 12:07:50
Sell dcl and that bourn bloke and sorted bright. Sell struik. Sorted. Sell gel and dcl. Sorted. Sell mez and throw in dcl. Sorted. I could go on and on. 5 mill is peanuts to write of in comparison to the dross we are carrying. Bright.

29 Nov 2025 12:27:58
We have Chelsea Wednesday and Liverpool Saturday. They won't change him before then.

Opti, give over. The man is crap and his latest rambling tirades are examples of his unhinged lunacy for all to see. His poor tactics have cost us at least nine points already.

28 Nov 2025 20:11:44
For a manager to say to his players at the start of the season the aim is to finish 17th is beyond belief.
I wonder did Bielsa say to his inferior squad the same?
The aim should have been top half because we’re good enough. That’s what he should have said.
Where’s the inspiration coming from because it’s not the man in charge?
It’s no wonder we can’t put games to bed as the players don’t have the conviction to so.


There’s plenty of teams who we can go toe to toe with but we play scared football and only TWO second half goals shows as much.
We need a proper leader especially as on the pitch I can’t see any apart from Rodon.

28 Nov 2025 23:18:26
Exactly cork. They are scared of losing so play negative football if they get the lead. They look confused about tactics and as you say, no leadership. It’s a mess from top to bottom. Have we the quality to stay up? I’m not sure anymore. But we won’t as it is.

28 Nov 2025 08:09:41
I am organising a bus / glamping to Stornoway for the next 7 weeks

Strictly no phones or Internet allowed
Anyone interested? 🤦🤣

Come back and it's just all confirmed 🤣.

28 Nov 2025 10:57:18
I was with you all the way Chris right up to…. then come back.

Probably bump into a lonely fisherman singing Leeds…. Leeds are falling apart…. again.

Sod the expense I’m in Chris 👍😬.

28 Nov 2025 11:54:25
Booking flights now.

28 Nov 2025 12:02:01
Your barred Brighty pal 🤣

Miles too optimistic.

28 Nov 2025 12:55:20
Where’s stornoway? Near Aus?

{Ed007's Note - Have you ever seen The Wicker Man?}

28 Nov 2025 13:54:04
Back in the day. Loved that dance ooohhh la la. 😝
I will pass on camp chaps. Got a hair appointment.

28 Nov 2025 16:32:26
Dunno whether to laugh or cry! 😂😂😢😢.

28 Nov 2025 20:00:00
I’m already there!

28 Nov 2025 20:25:34
What's ways zee Guinness Cork pal?

28 Nov 2025 23:13:37
Dunno Chris mate but like the Murphy’s I’m not bitter 😉.

28 Nov 2025 00:36:04
Boring boring dyche. 3 games. 3 wins. 9 goals. Now that’s a bounce.

28 Nov 2025 07:38:52
And so they should with the players they’ve got within that squad. I imagine Dyche was secretly punching the air when he was approached for the job.

28 Nov 2025 08:28:40
Do you think our squad is good enough to stay up opti?
Don’t you think a new manager would make any difference?
I’m not sure myself tbh. But what’s your gut on the two questions?

28 Nov 2025 09:34:10
To be fair dyche showed by keeping Burnley competitive for so long in the prem what he can do. Now he has better players he is showing it wasn't a fluke.
In this league you have out think the opposition. You have to try and find that extra 10%.
I think that's were farke is missing out.

Just sending a team out to keep the ball and play possession football is not enough.
Dyches teams have a real drive and a purpose. Now with forest he can be more expansive with his tactics because of the quality of the squad.

28 Nov 2025 16:35:30
Have we misjudged Dyche? Does he select his tactics based solely on the strength of his playing squad, and now he has better at his disposal, is more adventurous?
TBC, I ain't got a clue, as so far, I've refused to watch his teams!

29 Nov 2025 06:55:03
Maybe he adapts tactics to the players he has. How refreshing.

29 Nov 2025 11:57:23
Is that not what I just wrote?

27 Nov 2025 22:51:58
On this day 14 years ago we lost the legend that is Gary Speed. Play with pride and commitment Saturday boys and honour the memory of those who have pulled the shirt on.

28 Nov 2025 09:35:56
RIP Gary.
Great footballer.
Great man.

28 Nov 2025 16:08:18
Spot on Vid and Ben.

{Ed025's Note - actually there is a tribute to the great man this Saturday before the Everton v Newcastle game, there is talking bench being installed in his memory at the Hill Dickinson stadium...cheers..

27 Nov 2025 19:48:11
Got to love American owners…on talksport today apparently Sheffield Utd American owners said to their supporters forum how would it go down if they bought Sheffield Wednesday and combined both clubs!

27 Nov 2025 21:39:09
I bet that went down about as well as dressing up as Charlie Chaplin at a holocaust memorial.

27 Nov 2025 23:17:39
Dosent surprise me at all. Clueless. They just don’t get the passion. They don’t understand the fans.

27 Nov 2025 23:27:31
They obviously hadn't read the room.

28 Nov 2025 01:01:50
That'd go down like a pork pie shop in Tehran.

28 Nov 2025 10:46:37
I do miss a good pork pie!

28 Nov 2025 16:36:48
Ditto Canada! I keep meaning to try making my own!

29 Nov 2025 06:55:50
And me bright.

27 Nov 2025 14:01:41
Stach and Long, definite out and probably out for. City

When it rains, it urinates on you.

27 Nov 2025 14:44:49
Sure does Chris, blimey. Thinking if a change is in the air the 49ers ain't going to act til an agreement is in place, so looking at the next week they may see it as pointless before the next 3 games which look like whoever is in charge we don't have much hope.

But after the Pool game on the 6th we don't play Brentford til the 14th which gives a small window for a new man to come in.

27 Nov 2025 15:39:29
both definitely out for Citeh. Longstaff out for 4-6 weeks apparently.

27 Nov 2025 15:53:08
Way things are right now Vid pal, you wouldn't be surprised in slightest if we don't not take a single point till End January/ February, unbelievably tough run of games for a bottom feeder 🤦.

27 Nov 2025 16:12:32
Very fair point Chris, talk about black Friday it looks a black December and new year! I guess with 2 out Saturday DF is forced into changes but the glaringly obvious choice which I expect him to make is Ao and Gruev to replace rather than a change in formation. Please DJ or Willy instead of BA, pretty please but little hope!

27 Nov 2025 16:37:25
Nightmarish! 😞.

27 Nov 2025 19:56:20
Sebastiaan Bornauw is a doubt as he has got some MCL problems and missed the training session yesterday and also today.

But he hasn’t been on a pitch has he? Might need to check out the subs benches if they’re getting injured MCL’s from sitting down.

27 Nov 2025 20:25:20
Maybe a smidge harsh, but the way both have played recently, they won’t be missed. AO should definitely be on the team sheet before either of them. Uber negative. It seems it’s the only way DF can make changes, and it’s when his hand is forced. What about Harry, is there any hope of seeing him getting a chance? Instead of the swashbuckling DCL or BA.

27 Nov 2025 21:51:23
Well C&J, DF simply will not include youth, end of. Look at those who have left. No use, you lose. What's the point in cultivating our future when they just get frustrated and leave, not even a sniff of a bench place or travel in the match day squad.

27 Nov 2025 23:19:37
It’s a blessing that we have picked up a few injuries in midfield. I’m ok with gruev and ao for few games. It’s the only way he will change.

27 Nov 2025 23:29:04
Harry might be in the squad as he didn't play at Gateshead on Tuesday night.

28 Nov 2025 01:00:03
Thankfully BA is fit to play ☹️.

28 Nov 2025 06:39:44
Funny. Heaven forbid he picks up an injury. Farke would still play him even if his leg in plaster so as not to hurt his feelings.

27 Nov 2025 11:10:58
5 mil to pay him off, that should only apply if you're in the top half not the bottom half, Football has no money 🤷🏻‍♂️.

27 Nov 2025 12:34:50
Looks like he has lost the dressing room too. Both gabby and grue slagging him. Only amps spouting rubbish about sticking together.

27 Nov 2025 13:06:57
depends on the terms of the contract doesn't it? One of the reasons the 9ers didn't give an extension. He was only ever caretaker after promotion.

27 Nov 2025 13:42:52
Where are they slagging him off Aus? I want to read/ hear it 😂.

27 Nov 2025 13:50:18
Is that right Alf? Are you saying Farke is now only caretaker?

27 Nov 2025 15:40:37
he was only ever a caretaker after promotion Aus. Unless he did something to convince the board he was the right man but it has gone pretty much as expected so far.

27 Nov 2025 16:40:03
If they expected it why are they dragging heels on replacing him?

27 Nov 2025 23:20:23
How long left on his contract? Would it be 5mill to pay out? What’s he earn?

27 Nov 2025 23:38:16
Because they want to get a manager that they want.
