Lampard has identified the problem here: No doubt he'll be criticised, but he's likely right I'd say If he is right in identifying the fan base as part of the problem - then one of the key actions to help the club improve would be to improve the fan culture - as I've said for some time...

No the fans obviously aren’t accountable for the financial mismanagement - but there are areas within their control around things like expectations and putting pressure on It’s an elephant in the room that hasn’t been fully addressed - there have been times when fan pressure has contributed to...

I always thought it was likely, having exhausted the ability to blame outcomes on managers, with fans then turning their attention to ‘sack the board’, what would fans then do if and when results weren’t up to standard under a new board? How many boards and owners would then need to be sacked...

One thing I don't understand is the release on Mina and to some extent Coady and then relying on Keane, given the problems he's had. Yes, Dyche knows him and he was good for him at Burnley, but he struggled even in the run in last season, so Dyche should have been aware of that Think it's key...

Purely from these stats I'm not sure it's conclusive that his best position is on the left. The stats are: Left winger: 0.35 goals per game, 0.62 goals / goal contributions per game CF: 0.5 goals per game, 0.59 goals / goal contributions per game Obviously would also need to look at the...

Why are you saying this when he was starting for Villa who came 7th, just weeks ago?

This is the last time I'll post as I believe this is a lost cause But, I do care about the club a lot and so will say for a final time - creating a toxic culture at the club and demanding too much will obviously put fear into players and management which will impact performances, helping create...

It could be worth looking to recall some of the loans if that's possible, given the circumstances I'm not sure Moise Kean would actually help the squad morale though. Dobbin is another one although maybe not going to add much to our firepower Branthwaite also, although we have plenty of centre...

*Head in hands* - we just need a fan transplant....

Yes - hopefully he can bring about the right sort of change

Brilliant...

Yes - there's no other option but to massively get behind the team, nothing else makes any sense - otherwise there's little point in spending time following the club

If Frank had stayed, Danjuma may well have joined, it could have helped momentum in this window But many fans wanted Frank out of course due to the bad run.... This is far from over though - all that makes sense is to get behind the team now

I'm very surprised we let 2 attacking players go in Gordon and Rondon and didn't bring any others in All the fans can do now is be positive though - there's no other sensible option On the positive side, there are a lot of good players in this squad - better than some are seeing at the moment...

I don't think the people with the job to do this actually think the Board are inadequate The fans are calling for the Board to go because there have been so many manager changes (as attempts to fix the problem) that haven't changed things, that people are now looking for others to blame But...

That's the whole point of the post - they're contributing negatively to the environment and hence the results, but don't come under scrutiny because they're paying Switch it round so that they're paid and then fans can be held accountable for their contribution too

Why not do something else instead - go and play football yourself in the park? Watch TV? Go to the pub? Walk the dog?

And do you think the fans could improve in any dimension? Is it right that all other stakeholders come under great scrutiny for their contribution and the fans don't? Do you think there's an elephant in the room here?

For example, to say Ellis Simms was 'useless' at football - this was a joke in this case, but it's the sort of thing that gets said about players on here But, taking this as an example, that would be such an extreme comment They guy is a dedicated professional footballer, playing towards the...

Why not do it? If people don't want to be there it will probably help the club for them not to be there as they won't be coming with the right mindset
