You hire someone looking at the past experience, you know Ajax, Bayern etc.

The point was not about lack of effort, but about application. Not doing what was told.

That’s true when we have things to play for. It seems we will soon be out of contention from all the relevant competitions. So this is the time to hold tight and purge. I don’t mind sacking ETH, but I want the players outed first for what they are.

Well it’s not just the money on the table though is it. It’s his playing career, England hopes, peaceful life? There should be a evaluation of what’s important and what each is worth. Obviously Money came out on top for him. So yeah totally on him.

You draw trends from whatever data points you can find.

Echo this sentiment. I’m happy as long as it is entertaining. Which entails scoring loads of goals, not conceding and importantly be comfortable with the ball and not treat it like hot potato. Don’t care for any other stats.

The same way Bayern is able to bring in stars, or Barca/Real ? Why should we have the inferiority complex about able to pull in stars, when we are unshackled like the other big clubs? See it’s easy to not mention the other smaller fake top clubs like PSG/City/Newcastle. We can pull in stars...

Jeez, so much hot air, balderdash. Very similar to how Glaston spoke a few years back. seen how that turned. We can see you got good players. Winning is needed, if not the project will quite easily fizzle away into nothing. Good luck, but right now it is all talk, from the position of 84 points...

I fear JR definition of success would be driving the club value up, leverage the enormous PR potential etc. whereas, I believe Qatar wants to be the best, win it...

Is @marcosedete still around?

Any question on what Bailly said?

The fee mostly depends on who is buying. If no bigger club wants him, price is set by who wants him.

Style more than quality at this stage of team building. Get the players with the vision of the style of play. Don’t need the very best in that position with the style, but surely need to have a base team functioning to a specific style, would be pointless otherwise. Once we start playing to ETH...

Thats a fake vote count. The voting was opened in May, things are much different now. I bet the numbers will be a lot favorable to Conte now.

Lot of people say in reference to coaches like Conte, Mourinho etc that they don't stick around long, hard to work with etc. as a negative thing. I really think and want our next manager to have that as a feature. Someone who has a proper plan he wants to implement, works with the board to get...
