Well's a hole in the ground when you are thirsty.

I fear this is what's going to happen. All the PR over the summer will be how we want to get things right above the manager, and get the "perfect" recruitment team on board before buying any players. Fans will lap it up as a change in approach and we will go into the season with 1-2 signings and...

He is an amalgamation of the worst parts of all our previous managers. I have said this previously, his high moments( efl cup, fa cup vs Liverpool??, can't think of anything else) is still meh compared to the others, yet his low moments are far worse compared to Jose, Ole and lvg, or even...

We will probably draw both or lose to pool and win against Chelsea. People will see that as turning the corner and hype it up.

Surprised we haven't yet seen the usual excuses, "Brentford are a better run club than us" or " stop complaining, a draw away at a tough away ground Is a good result irrespective of performance" or " even Fergie lost to xx".

Yeah, a giraffes neck.

Source just seems to be "trust me bro". We all agree that Murtough was bad , but just shifting the blame for any signing that isn't working well is just pure apologist at this point.

I was going to post the exact same thing. It is going to be an absolute clusterfeck, just like with VAR, they don't foresee any of this and will only realise after they have implemented.

Gawd, this stupid argument again. A manager who cannot coach his own buys whom he has worked with for years, is somehow going to coach players selected for him by someone. And if it doesn't work out, we can still keep defending the manager claiming the signings are not what he wanted, "how can...

What's Karius upto these days?

I call BS. Will do a u-ie if they win the league.

same PR bullshit as before. I will wait till I see actions are taken rather than all this talk. Yes, I understand the sentiment, but how are they expecting to clear off players on high wages without taking a massive loss on the transfer fees we paid for.

In a few weeks time, we are probably going to hear how ETH vehemently protested against signing Anthony and Onana but were forced on him by the club.

Which is still 28 million more than his worth. As for FDJ being the only target ETH wanted, are you suggesting all our other signings were something he didn't want, all of the players he had previously worked with? and the board forced on him?.

The lack of a proper DOF doesn't excuse the performance on the field in case of Eth, because he has been given a free reign in terms of the targets. Managers in other clubs would kill for $400M for their targets. Yes everyone agrees that its gross mismanagement by the club, but that is no...
