The Prophet

Well you complained you weren't entitled to your opinion, I've asked you what the basis for your opinion is, as I've not seen any of your previous posts. I don't have any reason to suggest anything is particularly good or bad behind the scenes. Obviously no Sporting Director is less than ideal, but it doesn't follow anything is particularly off.

So what is the basis of "all is not well behind the scenes"?

No one is stopping you from having your opinion. It is a forum though, so people are also entitled to disagree with it. We see this a lot. "I'm not entitled to have an opinion" is just "I don't understand why my minority or unfounded opinion is receiving so much criticism".

In talks for Petrovic.

They said that Villa are interested, not that he's moving there.

I disagree, the aim was clearly to have two players for every position. We (right or wrongly) prioritised the squad over the needs of the first team. If I remember rightly it was quickly kiboshed with Tonali's ban, Anderson's (and possibly Burn's) back injury and Barnes breaking his foot. The injuries snowballed from there.

To ne fair, I'd rather be in our financial position than Villa's.

It's odd, he genuinely looked a good player at Bournemouth. Don't know if it's confidence or if he peaked early in his career, but thought he might turn it around with game time.

Is Eddie in charge of the club website now? He really is a control freak.

It'd be fun for the meltdown in fairness.

The das would absolutely hate these two. You can practically hear the sigh as they break into a choreographed celebration.

I don't know much about him, but sounds like a Schar regen.

Howe is part of the recruitment team, has been since he became manager.

We probably have, aye.

Doesn't sound like it. Player doesn't fancy it.

Liverpool in for Ekitike.

That's not what they said either tbf.
