Dave didn't get on with him. If Dave leaves we might be able to get him, but otherwise what's the point if Dave didn't care for him? Unless the club puts their foot down.
That’s absolutely damning when you think about it. Special privileges or what...
Without even looking at that clothing line, I have a pretty good idea of the style of his products
Yes - must definitely win this!
Yup. Truth be told we've made a lot of poor choices when it comes to backroom staff. Starting with Moyes ditching everyone.
He is affiliated with a retail brand called JD Sports here in the UK. They are associated with chav culture, which says it allWithout even looking at that clothing line, I have a pretty good idea of the style of his products
This is the problem with changing manager every two to three years and not having a Director of Football...
No not at all. I am suggesting that he'd do better with a coach who challenges him rather than regards him as a mate. i'm obviously not party to what actually goes on; it just seems that he was improving all the time under the first few coaches (yes, even under Moyes and Chris Woods) but levelled off when Hoek was fired and is now actually declining. Correlation =/= causation, but it seems a fair assumption.
Bang on.
I don’t think we need to claw back all the GD today. Be realistic and aim for a solid 2-0. We have a very ‘easy’ final two fixtures which is when we need to try and make hay.
This. If former merchant banker Ed Woodward were actually like the merchant bankers I've known, i.e. a ruthless dispassionate cnut, this wouldn't have been allowed to happen.
That’s true, but I don’t trust our ability to score lots of goals even against the bottom teams right now.
So much this. The club used to be bigger than any single element (player or manager) but since SAF it’s all turned on it’s head.
Yeah, three points is imperative, because there’s also the very real chance of Chelsea dropping some points in the final games.
Ed's mistake was just leaving it up to the managers and having a hands off approach. He was in a sticky situation as it was after the Madrid debacle and he would have been lynched if Dave wanted to go. It's all a feck up. Anyway, let's hope
4-0 ? To do that we'd need to have at least 4 attempts on target. When was the last time that happened? I honestly can't remember.
We struggle to score one goal and win a game. No GD hopes.
Worrying isn’t it.
My " this" was more the general tail-wagging-dogism that's gone on in recent years than that particular case, but it's a decent example. The professionalism that Dave displayed when he came back into the team after being dropped and the fax debacle makes me wonder whether he isn't really a snowflake at all and actually thrives on a bit of tough love.
Yes you could be right about the tough love part.. I don't know.
It's the pressure of United. He's desperate to get top four and is afraid. Just a human reaction. Probably feels it's safer to stick with these guys who might come good instead of the unknown in the youth.
Unfortunately this game is too important to blood kids in. However it we don't win today he has absolutely no excuse not to play them in the last two games.
Yup. It’s not like Ole has been afraid to drop others that he clearly rates based on their initial performances for him, but have gone off since (Matić, Martial).
Shambolic and crap are two words never associated with DDG, hyperbole would be how I would describe those comments.
Your insults need a bit of work. Here's one for free: Merdetial
Almost like players will feel the physical strain of a long and though season, and immense pressure to get to top4. Everyone are fumbling matchballs left and right these days, its not just us. Everyone are sucking excpet for City and Liverpool who are just in another league currently.
And people still think defence is the problem. No goals no wins, simple as that.
