leon Selles is incompetent and this team has a loser mentality at its core. He should have gone 2 months ago.


He should never have been appointed in the first place.

When does the focus of the crowd change from Dai (who looks to be in the process of selling the club) to Selles (who looks to be a useless as the day he arrived)?

He seems to get off very lightly - no banging chairs or booing like previous managers have endured

About 5 seconds after Dai goes.

there’s a LOT of things that “shouldn’t” have happened.

I like him, his voice and intonations remind me of the barman from that Benidorm comedy.

That bloke was a fraud as well - he didn't really speak like that, the accent was put on for the programme

We all know Selles won’t walk

So we have to wait until he is pushed and this won’t happen as long as dai in the owner

Dai will be the owner for a long time yet

So Groundhog Day caries on

You did, Jimbo. Everyone was so convinced by him when the appointment was announced and you were the one and only voice saying he should.never have been appointed.

Does anyone feel vaguely sick watching Chris Wilder walk back into Sheffield United and see him have a nearly instant impact? If we can believe the press reports, we were so close to having him at manager.

Not as sick as I feel when Gabe Osho gets a man of the match award in the PL, or Loader scores for Porto, or Olise smacks one in from 30 yards for Palace. There are so many we've lost or missed out on over recent years that I'm getting used to it.

Bit early for that, they've just beaten a Brentford side with no forwards currently, think they would have won that game anyway

Putting a positive slant, despite everything producing quality players still seems to be in our DNA. The problems all start with 1st team planning, which is an easier thing for a new owner to fix.

I feel pig sick that we lost Osho, Olise and Richards got very little. Could easily have had £40m combined for the 3 of them and our woes would be much reduced.

Wilder would have jumped at the first opportunity, something he has form for.

When Selles does go, who do we think we'll end up with? Will the new owners have someone in mind already, will Bowen have a say or will we interview anyone (unemployed and) interested (Stoke have just sacked Alex Neil)

I’m amazed it took Stoke so long over Neil, he has been absolutely woeful there

Tony Mowbray would be nice

Realistically, just think we’re stuck with bloody Selles for now. I’m not sure what’d it take to sack him before takeover and surely he’d have gone long ago otherwise. He’s rubbish

Even if we did sack him, who would come in, knowing a new owner could come in and decide he wants somebody else in job?
