That's the long and short of it. I don't blame him for Casemiro losing his legs, or Hojlund being too raw for the money.
In general, I haven't blamed managers for transfers as I agree the setup is a mess. Most of them inherited squads in line...
Problem is, he had actually managed Antony. I couldn't see it, so we didn't need scouts to not see it. I couldn't even wrap my head around Antony over Kudus.
My only reservation was precisely the fact he had managed both so surely he had...
Kim cost them the game. First goal was a fantastic through ball, mind, but the penalty was just ridiculous.
From his comments you can gather we wouldn't be allowing dozens of shots on goal every game. That's a start.
If we have a bunch of...
Looks like someone who can steady the ship and knock some sense into this lot while we transition the squad
We won't find any diamonds that way, not now, they are destined to fail. We need to give it a couple of seasons before someone like...
We won't compete for anything relevant next year. That's what people need to wrap their head around. We are miles off.
We need to build on the new structure and direction with a proper coach, not a manager who wants to make transfers. As far as...
Just when I thought this had gone around in circles long enough, we take a Cantona detour.
Greenwood is not comparable to Cantona, not at any level, whatever the point being discussed.

What would be a fair call is if the guy subbed OUT in GW32 later plays in a GW29 postponed game and scores then that one should count.
I buy the rationale to bring in an alt source of "surprise points" that can make the difference, but would limit that to 1 bonus point if 5 or more score in any given week. It's sufficient for that objective without becoming a flukefest.
I'd...
Sounds like the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Isn't it already enough reward to have that many goalscorers while us numpties hog the likes of Ferguson and Doucouré?
I'd love to as well, but this is football not basketball
PS: Not a terrible idea going forward. Any twists and turns that can be introduced through timely decision-making help avoid processions.
