Rumour about Illiman most worrying. Alcarez wanting to leave too, George looking like he is going back to Chelsea. Aznou, Dibling and Armstrong frozen out. Surely the board can detect a pattern here unless they are wearing the same rose coloured glasses as several on here. We have/ had the makings of a half decent squad here if players had been given a chance minus Beavis and Butthead up front.
Carsley rates Dibling, Moyes not, Patterson good enough for Scotland but not for us. Anzou good enough for Morocco, not for us. I am dreading this summer window as not only will we potentially lose our younger talent but no one under 30 will want to join us. I want to be positive and upbeat but I fear the writing is on the wall.

Unfortunately I have to agree. The situation we find ourselves in is totally depressing.
We have a much stronger squad this year, yet Moyes thinks that finishing in 13th place again and one point better off is progress. Well, I beg to differ.
There's no doubt that the majority of supporters are of the opinion that Moyes should go, but TFG will stick with him. I really don't trust him with our transfer funds, and also fear that he will stick with Barry, who is not only the worst striker I can remember at our club, but is probably the worst striker I can remember in the Premier League.
I don't care if we give him away as long as he goes. I know some people say that he's young, but he's 24 in a few months and should be entering his prime. To put things into perspective, he's a month or so older than Alcaraz, and I don't hear people saying he's only young and needs more time. The difference being Alcaraz has ability and Barry doesn't, but for some reason his face doesn't seem to fit with Moyes.

Or maybe they haven't been good enough of late and Moyes has told them so. Players don't like being told off, they just like picking up thousands of pounds a week and told how good they are. Charlie has done nothing since he's joined, and Illiman has all the flash and no end product towards the end, he cost us big points in our last 6 or 7 games, so not sure what all the fuss is about.
6 goals, 2 assist, Grelsih 2 goal 8 assists I think and been out half the season. Loads of players out there with flashy feet but not many out there with goals and assists. Bowen has good numbers in a team that got religated. I get why people like him going past players ect ect, but no end product may as well hooffed it up the pitch and hope for the best.

Not quite sure how you can say they have not been good enough as they have had little or zero minutes. There is a definite split on here between Moyes can do no wrong and ffs please go. We have had cover and the people to replace under performing players but Moyes keeps on playing his favourites regardless of performance and continually playing square pegs in round holes. We cannot have done any worse if Aznou had played left back, O'Brien had played centre back and George and Dibling had replaced McNeil.
God forbid we drop Beto and Barry and play a false nine with Aznou, Ndiaye, Dibling and George or Armstrong. Results could not have been any worse and maybe we could get an accurate picture of these players. Not Moyes sees them in training ffs. Can only think McNeil, 16 and Tarkowski and Keane must be f****** awesome in training.

'Several' on here are just realistic, not as depressed as the others who have been screaming and shouting like toddlers for something that was never going to happen. The problem is that the squad, as a whole, is probably where it was always going to be after one phase of a rebuild. Is it really that hard to comprehend for some of you?
As for the majority want him gone, would 97% of season ticket holders renewed if that was the case? I think it works out that around 1k have chosen to give their tickets up, that's not a majority unless you're a politician.

The operative word in your piece is Squad! That is why I and many others are upset, because he refuses to rotate and give recognised players a chance to show what they can do. Aznou is the perfect example. Why play O'Brien when we have a recognised left back. It seems it's a perfect case of if your face fits and f*** all to with whether they are premier ship ready.
We are in danger of becoming a laughing stock and the players that leave out of frustration will come back to haunt us. Just because my opinion differs to yours does not make me a toddler.

The board haven't sacked the manager yet, and that outcome doesn't seem likely, so it's time some just accepted the fact and moved on. You don't have to like it, but until TFG pull the trigger then that is our reality. It's the summer window, let's get back to arguing over which transfer rumour has legs!
