Difference was we had Richarlison and even Townsend scoring the odd goal. This side doesn't have anyone. Could argue that with if we'd bof been able to score at all we'd of been at least 3 points better off.

He’s the director of football and the football is an absolute mess. Why not address the fans in an interview explaining why we are where we are and what the plan is to get out of it. Nothing though, radio silence.

You say none of those sackings have worked, and yet I have no doubt that we'd have been relegated already if we hadn't sacked those managers. Koeman for sure, Martinez too, Silva was taking us down as well.

Keeping Lampard doesn't work. He will be a TV pundit after this.
It’s very possible, in fact probable, that he’s more of an idiot that Marcel Brands. This is a fella that wrote a book about coaching the European 3-5-2 in 2005 with a photo of Ryan Giggs who never played in a 3-5-2, on the cover.
That's the way the board want it. Lampard is just a shield for them at this stage.

Agree. The board have tasked the DoF and manager with getting all the big earners off the wage bill, selling our best players - from a team that was mid table. We’ve no money to sign players other than free, loans or transfers where teams take pennies upfront. We’re shopping way down the list of players we want.
In the meantime, the rest of the league is as strong as it’s ever been, there’s no Norwich or Burnley’s - every team is spending money.
We’re just trying to stay in the league until we can stabilise the financial position which will be another couple of seasons.
It’s a massive high risk plan from the board - always a high likelihood it was ending like this. We’ve got shades of Villa, Leeds, QPR about us. A club in turmoil.
I see little point blaming the manager for the predicament.

Regarding the claim that we can't afford to pay Frank off, I think I am correct in saying he doesn't get a lump sum, we just continue paying his salary as we would anyway. The point being that getting rid of Keane or Mina on loan would probably cover that.
I dread to think how much Ashley bloody Cole is on however, Clement as well, and we'd have to do similar with them as well.

In that case it adds to my fear they won't sack him and they won't back him he won't put more money in, it's just sleep walking to relegation
Yeah but he spent/sanctioned/agreed with a. not selling Gordon for £30m+, and b. spunking £50m on Garner, Maupay and McNeil.
Unforgivable.

I agree the issues are deeper than the manager the board have been stripping the squad of high earners and goal scorers for two seasons, even not having a forward at the start of the season was criminal selling Richy and replacing with averageness. But still Frank's tactics aren't good enough an experienced manager has us points better off I'm convinced. We've taken the lead in multiple games that's Moyes and he knows he doesn't have many goals in the team he shuts up shop and gets wins or draws.
cole is leaving soon to rejoin chelsea anyway
Hopefully a lot sooner than he planned.
