    For me, one major problem of keeping J-Lo too much the real risk of players wanting to leave if he doesn't. We can already see on the field the lack of cohesion and all-round confidence. The longer the 'problem' is not addressed, more players will become disillusioned. How many signed up to play in a 'top' team, who had plans and expectations for Europe. The better ones would not have signed up for mid table mediocrity
    Deal with it before it is too late!!

    If they do intend let him go they need to do it now so that any new manager arriving has this window to solve any squad problems as he sees it. Even if he has no money to spend he can look to do some loans in and out if necessary. It would be poor to let Lopetgui go mid Feb.

    Loans are a problem. You are allowed 4 in a season but only 2 at any one time. So unless we buy Soler or Tobido now then we can't loan anyone in.

    Isn't that loans from PL or English clubs? I'm sure some teams have had a whole host of loans in recent seasons.

    I'm not sure that's a option; when he was signed the terms for the obligation were said to be easy to trigger, and I've read that they were actually met some time ago.

    To complete we need to stay in the Prem.

    Lol, that's also true, but I'm not being that pessimistic.

    Ah, ok, my bad.

    Wasn’t J-Lo along with most of the signings Steidten recommendations. If so are we looking at sacking both of them.
  • Ravel49Ravel49
    This is the question
    Apart from Kilman, how many did J-Lo actually want or was it Timmy?

    We never really know but I seem to recall a couple of stories stating that Tim didn't want him but Sully wanted Lopetgui as he interviewed so well.

    I would love to know who was the driver behind each signing of the last few years, regarding this season the only two that seem obvious is Kilman, a Lopergui signing and Fulkrug a Tim.

    West ham zone .saying talk sport has reported that he,s gone

    Suggestions that we've made a move as Everton are allegedly sounding out Potter who is apparently our first choice to replace J-Lo.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    It's ok, GB News are reporting it now 🤣
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    A couple of the better "in the know" on KUMB have said he's gone.

    If it's on GBnews we will soon have a tweet from Elon Musk claiming Tommy Robinson should be given the job.

    Being more widely reported so it appears to be legit - Potter apparently in the wings - really surprised as I would have given him until the end of the season at least but as I have said before, I have to back up my prior support for Potter.

    I for one feel that J-Lo moved us forward, the game against City was a case in point, despite missing a couple of key players it was still individual errors that were our undoing and we created some 17 attempts on goal - I think that was his mandate and am fairly confident that in time we could have have had a decent spell under him.

    That being said, it seems that the trigger has been pulled and we need to get fully behind Potter, if indeed he is the guy,

    Has the club decided to throw another "win or your out" game at him ? circus board.
  • LukerzLukerz
    We all know he is not going to last the season. Whether that’s right or wrong.

    Club just need to be decisive.
