Cooper Out

You're a spoilt brat if you think this.

We were out of the Premier League for 10 years and dropped to League One for the first time in our history before they took over.

Even with masterminding a relegation last year, we still came straight back up.

Things are shit right now, but it's a million miles better even now than before KP took over.
I was there throughout that time. I was at Accrington away in the cup when we scraped through with Fryatt on the wing, but let's call a spade a spade.

Aston Villa nearly went out of business in 2018. They were literally hours away from administration in the championship. Fast forward to the present day and they're playing Juventus in the champions league this week.

AND YET, our team, which benefited from a premier league title, fa cup, CL quarter final and the semi final of the Europa conference league over the past 10 years can't muster a decent defence of our premier league status - it can't be down to anything other than rank incompetence.

But maybe I'm just spoilt 🤷

So what, KP’s legacy won’t (potentially) be tarnished as long as we’re in any position higher than League One?

Of course they’re tarnishing their ****ing legacy. Remember when we were touted by everyone as a model club. We were the club and ownership model that the likes of Brighton and Bournemouth wanted to be and have. Now we’re being run by an unqualified manchild and his two clown buddies.

Wanting component people in charge of the running of our club does not make one entitled.
 
Just watching motd and I think something has just made sense to me

We go to football matches because we don’t know what’s going to happen. We still go to the games where underdogs play clearly better teams we might witness a surprise result.

Having listened to and watched a couple of games this season, there appears to be pretty much no chance of a surprise result against the big boys. That’s why attendance was shit yesterday.

Everyone on this forum knew - not expected - we were going to lose yesterday. That’s enough for me.

Spot on. It's boring.
 
It's the inevitability of relegation that I'm struggling with.

Our manager isn't good enough. Our infrastructure isn't good enough. Our squad isn't good enough. Our senior leadership team isn't good enough.

There is zero chance that we finish above the likes of Palace or Wolves.

Everton are the only possibility if they ditch Dyche and go to shit. And, of course, the possible Man City punishment.

However, I'm now even thinking that Ipswich and Southampton might end up above us. We've regressed that much.

It doesn't matter how I look at it now, I can only see it ending badly.

Our only real shot is to make a change early enough for a decent alternative manager to believe he can keep us up. That's our season now. We're just tapping our foot, looking at the goons in the directors box, wondering how long it will take.
 
No no, it was boring last year - remember when we were scoring loads of goals and winning the league and stuff

That was boring, apparently - this is total football under ‘the entertainer’

Two things can be true at once.

It was boring for many fans last season. There were enough supporters that felt that way for it to be a real thing.

I had shuddering moments of traumatic memory triggered by the Chelsea defenders just stopping play yesterday. Chelsea aren't playing like we did but the whole 'killing the clock' thing, that EM admitted doing, was apparent at times.

Anyway, that's an old argument that we really don't need to dig up.
 
Simple question. When was the last time you saw Leicester play well? Not glimpses, actually play well over a game.
