We need leaders don't we? Leaders with flair ideally.
Ah yes....Mr Stephens. I quite forgot about him. An asset or a liability? Hopefully a lot more of the former this year.

We already were the most boring team in the league.
This season, last on MOTD every week, nailed on!!

Not seen such Bravery!
Set up a handy goal for Fulham.Dale Stephens. He loves a studs-up challenge.

I can't think of a way the club could have made a bigger rod for it's own back
It's very easy to imagine a situation where Knocky is firing Fulham up to about 50 points by new year, meanwhile we're sinking like stone. Izquierdo no closer to a come back, Trossard still in the "adjustment period", Ali J and Locadia producing as little as they did last season and Solly trying manfully but still unable to find the consistency of final ball.
Say what you like about Knocky's decision making, his discipline, but he has ability that nobody else in our squad has got. We're a total hostage to fortune and the club are going to get some serious flak if they haven't got a plan here.

And that's only because they're obliged to show highlights of all Premier League matches. If the BBC had a choice, they probably wouldn't be bothered with us unless we were being drubbed by one of the big 6 of course.

Have to agree, whilst be did blow hot and cold, he was one of those players who could get bums off seats, I am not too sure how many other players in our team do that..?
Not sure about this decision, seems to me a strange one?
Is it one where the money tied up in the deal was too good to turn down?
Or, his attitude wasn’t good and the club decided to part company?
I know we have a few wingers and at some cost, but has AK been worse than AJ last season?
Wilson from Liverpool...
Just out of interest can a player who has just signed for a premier club be loaned to another premier club in same window. Re...a certain Daniel James

You know in the season previews in the papers this will be 'signing of the season'....

It's a fair point. In addition to the "this is a terrible idea as it increases our chances of relegation" point, which is the one i've been focusing on as it's so utterly glaring, there's also the point about entertainment. I can't remember too many other players getting me out of my seat last year. Knocky is inconsistent and infuriating and doesn't always make sensible decisions, but a large percentage of the small number of bright spots amid a sea of dross from last season came from him.
The thought that the entertainment on offer may even be less than last season makes me want August not to come

I think you’ll find the argument was that he’s our best winger, but why let the details get in the way.
Clearly you should be managing the club instead of this guy Potter.

Irrelevant, the point was that he can be coached to play the way Potter may want to play. He obviously has the ability. I'm pretty certain that Knocky has not left because the coaching staff don't think that he has quick enough feet or a quick enough brain to play in a direct way on the break. My assumption is that he has gone because either he or the club felt he needed to: for his own personal or professional reasons.
Nope. No need. Just leave it to Potter with his magic wand. Who could ask for more?

I would love to know how and who makes these decisions

He’s a prime candidate for it too, thinks he’s got the answers but then disappears when he gets called out. I once called him out on one of his narratives that he was peddling, he eventually conceded but only through PM
