Toure has been finished for a while now, clearly either can't be arsed or has lost the energy required. Their centre halfs never look that comfortable. Kolarov is shite, Zabaleta is getting on now. No foundation for a good team.
Must say until this season I didn't think that much of Ranieri as a manager. The teamwork, style of play and mentality they have produced is incredible.
I didn't read it that way at all. It's jokey but I think it's meant as the truth based on something he probably realises himself with being on T.V.
Ah, this makes sense.
Agreed, there's no excuse for not trying. Now the manager is pissed off and obviously there's an extremely bad taste around the whole club that they will somehow need to get past. He should walk.
Are you trying to say they couldn't have invested money in strengthening their squad?
As in spending 15-20m in an attempt to stay up? Nah don't think it's worth it. Think a couple new defensive players on loan would've been ideal. Maybe another striker too. But signing players on big contracts to long term deals. Nah.
They could've invested in a few players to prepare for the Championship or long term.
Why is it not worth investing 15m to stay up? I don't understand this in the slightest.
