The Bonk

MVP of the under 21 tournament, has an absolute beast of a season and is riding the pine for REASONS. It’s disappointing for us, but I am sure the lad is biding his time, hopefully he gets a chance if England are comfortably winning.

He's tactically inept unfortunately. Decent bloke, but any manager who’s got a modicum of talent and reading of the game will nullify whatever this “play the best players and hope” approach is from Southgate. Most of the team have been managed by the best in the world. Pep, Poch, Teeth Gnasher, Arteta, Wor Eddie, etc, who are all far superior to Southgate. They still need direction and aren’t getting it from their manager when they’re used to pinpoint instruction from the dugout.

I am with ya, @r0cafella, it’s getting to that middle ground of have’s and have nots. Seemingly impossible task.

Academy rich clubs would prosper in that type of environment until the resources dry up.

So you’re saying it’s even worse than FFP?

Luxury tax that gets divided between lower league clubs. Let the big boys success enrich the football pyramid. Clubs keep their commercial revenue, but player transfers over a certain threshold (anything over say 100 million) gets taxed, along with payroll exceeding a certain amount too.

He and Wissa carried that entire Brentford team. He's quality and would be even better under Eddie and playing in our core group of players would only elevate his ability. We are still working towards cementing ourselves as a top 7 team in the league.

Everton for me, fucking Paul Dummett.

What a horrific game that was. City were fucking pedestrian and Man United have one single moment of brilliance to win it. Get fucked all of Manchester.

He let's that in, but stops the Walker super bullet.

City will win this in extra time and we'll all have a good laugh.

Isn't that just part of getting 'The Full Turkish"

win or lose and he's gone. Offer him a gig to coach our youth teams at some ridiculous salary and watch them get tonked 5-0. Hell, they might lose by that anyway.

Was Waugh in The Athletic, no? https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5511665/2024/05/23/freedman-spors-newcastle-sporting-director?source=emp-shared-article

There were videos of him doing the same at Everton. He's always been a top lad.

What if we throw the sink at them second half?

"They will find a silver lining to this cloud" - Finishing 5th?

Happy for ya!

Doku is a better player.

Pep's Keegan always entertains me. I secretly hope he's the entire brains behind everything.
