It's a matter of focusing on the source of the shit storm that this football club has been in long long before our current manager, and in the midst of some of the worst turds possible floating down the managerial river. Not focusing on Ashley as the Eye of Sauron is fucking madness. Has nothing to do with not accepting criticism about Rafa... especially considering he has been one of the rare bright spots in the last 10 years.

So in your eyes hes basically untouchable if he takes us down whos fault is it then? I will personally blame you. We are all being punished karma-wise for your willfull dipshittery.

Don't you have forum oppression and genocide to commit?

He and the possible takeover are the only two reasons to continue supporting this horror movie of a club. Doesn't mean I agree with his decisions 100%, but there is no other manager I'd rather have at this moment, and given our dire position. The mere thought of managers like Tony Pulis lurking in the shadows makes me physically ill.

45 people were banned, and fucking Dave, the tyrant he is shipped them off to an internment camp. I personally support his purge, because I feel threatened by the folks who tell it how it is.

It wasn't a discussion the other night, negative/alternative opinions weren't allowed or were ridiculed. I'm just trying to promote some balance here. He his working with his hands tied (like last year) but (like last year) he isn't making things easy for himself. Weren't allowed fucking drama queens of the highest order.

Open for business means the club shop won't.close on New Year's.

Just have a nap, and regroup, man. Need more than that, need time out. Sorry for calling you a knob man, easily one of the posters I respect most on here. Just thought we would show more today and needed to as well. Unless we can get some really top players in in Jan I fear it’s all too late even with a takeover. p*ssed off with Rafa, but it is what it is and we go again with Stoke up next. I called you.a.knob too sorry as well..I have a lot of time for you, as you are normally very sound, and a fantastic source for football knowledge. I can understand your anger. Just hate to see people see red over this shit.

He does decide because Rafa aint got 100mil in his back pocket to sign a prime Fernando Torres. He gives a budget just like any other owner/chairman who runs a business and then the manager works with that budget. He does not decide who is recruited with that budget. Rafa chose to sign these useless f***ers he was not forced to what cant you understand about that *breathe* Right... Example time Rafa wants a 15mil striker, a 10mil LB and a 15 mil CM. 40mil is not much in todays market. Ashley counters with a budget of 18mil. Rafa then has to buy a 5mil Joselu, a 5mil Manq, and an 8mil Merino. If he doesn't buy them, we have no LB to cover the injured Dummett, no CF he trusts other than Gayle, and 2 CMs in Hayden and Jonjo. See the problem? Or would you rather he bought nobody and we play Mitrovic at LB? Are you trying to tell me that even with 18m to spend there wasn't better options for 3..players than Manquillo,Joselu and Merino We had Mbemba and Hanley as cb cover neither are any worse than Lejeune,,,,so there is 7m wasted We had Darryl Murphy who is no worse than Joselu,,,,theres 5m wasted you don't go and blow your budget on bodies just for the sake of filling a hole 18 million to spend is a lot...in 1998. Sounds like they were not exactly transparent with him about his budget either.

It's like Amtrack. Just a friendly reminder about what a fucking stupid species we are.

Maybe because you can criticise him and still want him as manager? And as many of us have said, there is absolutely nothing wrong or unreasonable about that.

Well take your enlightened intellect elsewhere, won't be missed. I would expect anything enlightened not to be missed by you.

If you surrender possession, sit back, play with no urgency and make poor subs you don’t win games... If you careen wildly from one extreme to the next, people are going to rightfully call you a knob. I don’t care, I’ve proved myself more than enough on here over the years and yes I’ve been hyperbolic today especially but my points will stand up to any argument, that’s if you want to debate the points made or just well, be a knob. I have debated the points, and multitasked a bit to call you out as acting like a total knob. You are reasonable enough to realize this at some point. I don’t see you having debated any points, just you saying it’s because of the players etc. Fair enough if that’s what you believe. I don’t and I’m making that point along with some others. I have talked about the context over and over. I have supported Dave and others, who have made Sounder points than I could have. I have pointed out that critique is one thing, but some of you have thrown reason and context out the window. So read what I have said again.

Who decides the budget? FFS the thickness is expanding on this thread.

Mind blown. It's asif Ashley doesn't exist and Rafa wasted 20mil of Joselu for the laugh. I thought he cost around 45 million. Rafa chose him over Salah.

Because he built a team that got promoted but then could compete in the premier league. Were not Man Coty we can’t buy a new team every year. Benitez literally had deals lined up for Premier League players in January. He wasn't allowed to do it. Dreaded context. How dare you? It's outrageous. I don't care that Rafa has been restricted every transfer window. He simply has to be buying better seventh choice transfer targets. You fucking reasonable people...

If you have pennies to spend, you get shit.

. People.just brave enough to tell it how it is.

This is what you should have posted to begin with, instead of your maniacal meltdown.

Shameful how we are 12 points behind Brighton and Huddersfield at this point in the season. They are miles ahead of us...average Championship sides and all.

What do we have to do to help you understand the fine details of context?
