They're all talk. The sheer incompetence, arrogance and complacency of them, allowing the squad to become so depleted, with yet another two transfer windows drifting by without the most important issues being addressed; worrying about the sodding Champions' League while we sleepwalk towards the relegation trapdoor. The very definition of hubris.

I woke up in a sweat at 4:30 this morning with a vision of them down the road winning the league (maybe even a quadruple) while we're relegated, beaten to survival by West Ham. Just hold that thought.

Absolutely they need to prove it, like I've said before the summer window was always going to be the time for that not the January one when no decent players will want to jump ship to us (and of course certainly won't if we are relegated).....

It's a world cup year. I'm sure there are players sitting on a bench somewhere would love the chance to get game time to fight for a place at the world cup. 6 month loans is all that was needed.

What is crazy to me is Lange coming out and saying that the next manager has to play more attractive football. I appreciate him actually fronting up publicly but this is just crazy to me.

You make a big thing of the fact that as a club you interviewed 30 people, against ten criteria, and Frank was the clear stand out. Then you stick by him despite disastrous form and seemingly no buy in from the players. And you wait until after the transfer window to make a change, so until 2 weeks ago you’re still pretty sure that this guy is the right guy.

And now he’s gone it’s all ‘we need to play more attractive football’ again?? What on earth was going on in that boardroom.

I suspect he is now in full self preservation mode. He knows he has fudged up in both his recommendation of manager and the (lack of) strengthening in the transfer window and is now trying to pull out soundbites that he hopes will keep him in a job come this summer.

I suspect it's more to have something to say in his next job interview in the summer: "the plan was always to...blah blah...but blah blah..."

Or he was wheeled out as he’ll be the one to cop for everything in the summer - another human shield for the owners.

yep, Lange doesnt control spend or the profile of the club thats been driven down for the last 5/6 years

Maybe he could have plucked someone from obscurity to help us, but not sure who that might have been

Not saying he is innocent in all this but far from first up for the blame
