The full response:

"Fulham played a good game, not an amazing game. They played a good enough game to win 3-0 and they deserved to win.


“I think for us it is a very tough moment but I’m not speaking (only) now about it.

“I am starting to explain the future in September, in October, in November, in January – especially in January.

“Now we can’t change anything. We have to move on to play better, to fight better, to play with different energy.


“To find the right motivation in the last three months of the season. We play a crucial part of the season with a lot of problems.

“We have to be better.

“We played without the energy. In the Premier League you have to play 100% every game.

“You can’t play 60% or 70%.

“For Julio Enciso it was the first game (starting) after six months-and-a-half. JP van Hecke in a midfield position because Moder played 60, 70 minutes in Wovlerhampton.

“Pascal Gross finished the game (at Wolves) with cramp and he couldn’t start the game and play 90 minutes (today).

“Adingra played the African Cup and after that he played 90 minutes three games in a row.

“We can’t lose any more players.”

Fati and Dahoud flopped. But the club too never replaced that CM or provided energetic FB cover for when, almost inevitably, Veltman and Estupinan broke down. Especially with the added workload of EL.

That didn’t prevent the club taking action with loans or buys this January.

March, Pedro and Mitoma are game changing stars. That’s just bad luck.

Our shit PL form since 24 Sept of 1.1 point per game is down to several factors, the summer 24 transfer window is one of them if not the biggest. Many here in August pointed out the glaring FB’s and DM chasm.

Bloom won’t be too bothered, he takes the long term view, a season’s set back and then a new manager, is just part of the ride.

The excuses need to stop.

i dont know what the issues are but the team clearly doesnt click as well as it did before. blaming transfers cant be it when we still have 70-odd possession and cant score, with the same forwards and tactics. maybe that's the problem, too predictable and easy for the opposition to counter.

The defence this season is crap for starters.

It all appears to be getting a bit Gus-like with the timing of this moaning coming up to our biggest 2 games of the season. Next thing we know the Roma kit man will be smearing shit over the away changing room bogs and RDZ will write an email to everyone at the club complaining about it.

I wonder if he will claim he's been sacked while live on TV... 🤔

Way to move on about a thing that can't be changed, guy.

I hope your audience on Merseyside and Catalonia were listening.

It's definitely true. Its really only CM where we might be a bit light, but with Moder back we still have 4 CM's - and that doesnt include Hinshelwood playing there. No one can argue that with a club our size he hasn't been 'backed'.

If you have a lot of injuries you can't just keep stockpiling players and risking the future. Most of our young players are coveted all over the world, we spent 20 million on a new keeper after he bombed out sanchez and broke our transfer record on a new goalscorer after Trossard left, Adingra and Barco are the next cabs off the rank and the club has brought through Hinshelwood and club plocy has brought in about 300 million over the last few seasons to keep us in good shape.

Meanwhile he recommended a total space cadet and a lightweight high cost fanny from Barca who have both bombed.

Hes a cheeky bastard with this one.

Plus he thinks Mudryk will win the baloon door!

Clueless!

Get rid!

Villa strengthened and look at them.

We sold the family silver.

However, we had more than enough on the wings. Having long term injuries to March, Enciso and Mitoma really wasn’t in the script but midfield has been under strength all season. Yes with Dahood, who is apparently an RDZ signing but also with Baleba who’s more raw than the steak in a Paris chophouse

It's the god-bothering that worries me.

Since there is no god, they end up worshipping their agents. Don't they, Moises? ???

Maybe if RDZ had signed the new and improved contract that’s been on the table long before January the club might have been a little more supportive with January’s recruitment.

As mentioned above, Dahoud and Fati were RDZ signings, say no more…


I’m 100% confident the club will invest in the summer and if RDZ commits then he will have a huge input in that recruitment, but I totally understand why the club felt that January wasn’t the correct time to do that (it never has been historically)

Whether the clubs recruitment in the summer will match RDZ’s expectations is another question. I think if that difference of opinion continues (and continues to be played out in public) then it’s best that we part our ways.

I love RDZ and I would love him to sign a new contract but he’s got to be aligned with the long term vision for the club and the limitations that come with that, if there’s that discrepancy going forward, it’s probably best he moves on to pastures new. Nobody and I mean nobody is bigger than the club.
