  1. Ideally new manager in place otherwise we have zero chance of getting a result
  2. If we are going to play 4 at the back the CB pairing can't be Lascelles and Clark, both are shite with the ball at their feet I'd go Fernandez and Schar, think Lascelles works fine as part of a back 5
  3. Last season we had a run of 2 wins in 21 I think, so hoping if we can get a decent manager in and with a sensible window we should be okay Not going to be easy
  4. I think it's definitely a relegation battle regardless of the managerial change we make 8 games in we only have 3 points and conceded 19 goals, plus that's a reasonable fixture list on paper. It's possible we are between 10-15 points by January which is way behind He needs to be sacked asap, just adding unnecessary negativity
  5. Spurs scored 6 goals all season prior to this and now they've scored 3 with such ease
  6. https://twitter.com/_EnGee/status/1449698567912820738?t=iNrtBo1W2T5gb6I9hjpW5g&s=19
  7. That's the thing with protests they are often done to get publicity That van at downing street gets little attention but will get loads on match day, especially if some knacker does something daft Ideally, we just ignore it but I'm not confident in the slightest that happens
  8. I stopped reading when he mentioned working for Qatar, makes his entire article worthless
  9. My brother does, which is what I was saying. When I challenge him on all the things such as way of playing, in game tactics, etc etc he just says "wait and see" Yeah, I get that approach, I guess we are used to asking for managers to be sacked (as they tend to be absolute dogshit) He gets a result out of the bag which keeps it going, won't be surprised if you beat Atalanta and Liverpool but then drop points to Spurs
  10. Liking Ole I totally get but as a manager I don't understand why he's adored and why he has as much support as he does It's not even a knee jerk thing, he's shown his limitations time and time again It's fine to thank/recognise him for what he's done up until this point but you should be calling for him to be moved on and replaced with better
  11. My brother is a Man-U fan and he adores him for some bizarre reason I think he's done well, he was a good appointment for where they were at but you watch them play and you haven't a clue what's going on The top managers (Pep, Klopp, Tuchel) have a clear identity, Solskjaer doesn't
  12. He always finds a way to cling on Think he'll snatch a draw at least in this game and then it will carry on With Conte/Zidane around I don't understand why they don't pull the trigger, he's done very well up until this point but they need better
  13. That's their season in a nutshell, not playing particularly well but getting results I expect them to win this as well
  14. This narrative about top players not signing, us needing 17 players, FFP etc etc is nonsensical anyways We are used to Mike Ashley ownership, what is about to come is likely to be an improvement. Rather than signing Joe Willock and then refusing to sanction loan deals we end up signing 2-3 Joe Willocks, that is a massive improvement and what we'll be happy with
  15. Theoretically PIF could own both (Like Red Bull own both Leipzig and Salzburg), just needs to have separate people So Al-Rummayan could only be on the board for one club
  16. The original journalist has backtracked on it, seems like it might be old news from when our deal looked dead or was dragging Although RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg have shown it is possible, just need to make sure there is clear separation, so we can't have the same person influencing decisions across both teams Having said that I understand feeder clubs like City have done, anything else would be daft imo
  17. If this does go ahead then I'm not quite sure what their thinking or strategy is, If the clubs ever meet (I know we are a long way from Europe) then what happens?
  18. I just don't see the logic in keeping him, it just adds unnecessary negativity If we go a goal behind then he'll get dogs abuse If we somehow win then what? He stays on, for how much longer as we know he's shite Get rid and we can all move on
  19. Mark Douglas said it's David Bick, one of her advisers
  20. I was sure this discussion was had last year and my sentiment is the same as I posted 18 months ago "This isn't a black and white issue, we are dealing with each persons morals and those are times subjective to a certain extent. I think we can all agree we want Mike Ashley gone and therefore him leaving will be a massive relief and a joyous occasion, it's been so long since we have been a proper club, and by that I simply mean a club trying to be better tomorrow than it is today. We've been a zombie club with brief moments of joy but by and large it's been absolute misery. In terms of the potential new owners, I think it's possible to recognise their issues but still want to support the club. I personally want this takeover to go through and i'll buy a season ticket if they are available, I miss going to the football. The issues with the new owners don't bother me enough to not want to go to the football or support my team. If however they were exactly like Ashley when it came to running the club then I would stop going but my issue with them would be the football and not other things. Having said that if the Israeli government were buying us my stance would change, does that make me selective in my morals? Aye I suppose it does. Does it make me a hypocrite? Again I suppose it does. If we are all honest with ourselves there is an element in hypocrisy in how we perceive things. Certain issues will bother people more than others. That's just reality. It's neither right or wrong, it just is. What does concern me is the section of our fans (admittedly this could just be a minority) that have suddenly become experts in the middle east and are defending everything, we've seen today our fans attacking Hatice Cengiz (fiancee of Khashoggi) on twitter, calling her a "slappa" and telling her to "fuck off". I've seen the Saudis defend and be in denial about what happened to Khashoggi, I expect nothing less from them but that's not something we should be doing. It's disgraceful and I'm comfortable in saying that is wrong. We can be happy our club is a club again without become cheer leaders. When it comes to certain sections of the media (Keys, Delaney etc) then ideally we would ignore them but I understand that's easier said than done so I've no issues when we challenge them but we shouldn't go after Amnesty/Hatice etc, it's embarrassing. I understand overall people will be conflicted, if people feel so strongly about the issues that they will no longer follow the club then we should respect that. If they feel strongly about the issues but still want to follow the club we should respect that. If they aren't bothered by the issues then we should respect that (as long as they don't go attacking people that have legitimate grievances)."
