Someone end this fucking idiot. I hope he accidentally read this. Absolute helmet man. Go home, and never come out again Ryder you stupid fuck.

He sounds awesome man.

sums up how crap things have been bar the Bobby years and random matches, Euro nights, HBA, 5th season when we still look back at the rant of 20 years ago and think "what-if"

Cancel this trip. It costs money.

bah man, leaves an absolute poor feeling the fact we had the likes of HBA in our team and he was shoved out by this club.

HBA was actually quite strong with holding the ball up tbh.

I think people are quite naive if they can simply blame a scout for players not panning out. 1) None of us know exactly what the "list" is when we are going after a player in a certain need position 2) None of us know how high up or far down a list player is - but can probably assume based on how high they were billed or often linked 3) Carr is a chief scout, he's not a coach, nor is he manager. it is not his job to select the teams, etc. 4) The fact the same argument gets beaten the f*** to death despite how CLEARLY obvious its been that we've had a bunch of quacks coaching these players for the entire time we've had these Carr players, hence the lack of development or regression. 5) We have no squad depth or competition, so the natural instinct of athletes / lack of club and manager ambition or drive breeds obvious complacency, which either you accept and just collect your pay or you find your first way the f*** out of here (see: Ba, Cabaye, Debuchy 6) My belief is that these players all first thought and were sold that we could challenge for something (the Ba, Cabaye, Cisse, HBA 5th season) and when that summer after did nothing but sign Anita, the entire squad figured it the f*** out. 7) What you can blame him for, is suitability to the league, and if someone just clearly fucking blows or is clearly an awful player - fair enough. 8) He could very much be implicit in this scam of a club, and if so...well, you know. Anyway, an argument that's been done over about 5,000 times - we are a club run by some unqualified s*** staff accountant as a Chairman, an Owner who's sucking us dry, and a coaching setup that would be fired and sent packing in any other club in the English football professional system. There's literally no basis to judge any of these players Carr has scouted - they have flickers of hope, moments of brilliance, s*** tactics, s*** club mission/ambition, and they are surrounded by the likes of some jack wagons like Mike Williamson and Obertan.

Settle down Ethi

Dude wants to leave, make him stay, leave the armband with him; brilliant decision(s).

I wouldn't doubt that either. Garde: "this is a historic club, with the ability and capacity to be a top 7 side. You've done it before and with my coaching and staff and your scouting we can break into top 7 and push on and go after cups and the league" Charnley: "No we're a mid table side. And we don't want to win cups. You sound like you want to spend a ton of money and we will likely sell players for profits" Garde: "I don't mind lack of spend and selling players - it's happened to me before. Just let bring in my staff and let me go after my type of players, I think we can break into top 7 with your current investment strategy..." Charnley: "get the fuck out of here. We don't want top 7"

too fast.

You'd almost want him playing with De Jong and another Striker and being quite fluid with De Jong.

Krul not saving something again

Why wait till the summer?

SJH's mistake was taking the Ashley deal without waiting on something from the Middle East. He underestimated their buying power/desire to get into football. Middle East money actually required some diligence time too - Ashley basically gave him hard money and a small window to which he could back out of the deal - in truth to any deal person, SJH took the offer that was on the table with a fair bit certainty behind it. This is all based on memory from that SJH quote, but my understanding is that there was definitely interest from the Middle East, but it was slower/quieter than that of Mike Ashley. Having said all of that - middle east interest in RE in the USA is constant, but many times the offers never actually materialize.

If we ever were to get a top manager under Ashley out of no where, think 15% of the forum would have a heart attack and not even see it - me included.

Read the books, you'll fall in love with him all over again. He's the fucking greatest. Legend man. The fact that men like him are not in football and inept cunts likes Pardew are, sickening.

He had a weak ass shove match with Glenny boy and then went over the top in a lazy way on Lucas, who is perfectly fine. FFS.

still praying for you my man, see left hash.

No Kaka. No. Don't do this to yourself lad.

Read a handful of books about the man, I can't begin to tell you how much MORE I love and respect him. He's what football was and he should either a) still be part of this club or b) at every single match watching us from the ownership seats seeing us battle for the top places in this league. Hurts it's neither and even more so that we actually had him here again and he was daring us all to believe and dream for a short bit.

Support the team not the regime, Yank. Go back to Canada, marra

What sick fucks who live in the city would actually want to show up now? We're not going to magically win the league or something or make Europe ffs. The club nor the players are actually going out there matching the support we've given them throughout this depressing year (and years under Ashley). Don't fucking show up, stop spending money on the club, make Ashley sit in that ground with nobody there in an empty ground that has Sports Direct written all over it. Fuck sake, people are so fucking naive, stubborn and stupid. It's really that simple. The man who only looks at money in this...HEY, STOP GIVING HIM MONEY.
