Not going mad just saying it's not exactly going to fire your heart to burn for the cause. Goes for any of the players who knew him well i guess.

They are good pals like. You'd have to think will haven't helped colos attitude towards the club.

Well incredibilty is lacking credibility

Great bloke and all but lets not forget how dreadful at football he is. Would have been a million per cent better than Anita or colback in cm tbh

Loved the Jonas Enrique partnership that year.

It's bitter as hell that but I don't disagree with it tbh. Deluded is strong but we're overrating the squad massively.

Would bum

Not credible? Nonsense!

True, weve been spending 80M every season since Ashley took over. On English players I don't see the 80m panic spend as a policy change per se. The funds available and transfer policy aren't the same thing. We're still going for the same deals that don't address the imbalance the team. Fed up of hearing about this 80m. It'll be chump change in a few years within the prem and the club makes significant profits each year. The English players thing; I was impressed by the Shelvey signing and Townsend has a goal in him, don't really care about English players though and that seems to be the reason they were signed over needs elsewhere. I get the policy change argument; but McClaren still had little say and acquisitions were still based on Carrs little list of favours and ultimately have been our downfall this season. It's hardly been a case of but things have been so different? How did it go so wrong? Don't think anyone believes our transfer policy has altered beyond all recognition, just that their have been obvious changes, and their have been. Unfortunately the biggest similarity to previous windows is still there. Which is leaving too many glaring gaps in the side. Fair comment. It hasn't made a difference however you view it.

Good job Ashley changed his wicked ways last year.

Decent shout.

I hope they don't listen to the cheaper and moronic championship experience argument.

This is my (ever cynical) thinking. I have every confidence Rafa is an honest man but he's subject to the whims of liars and madmen.

The point is there, though poorly worded. There are significant numbers who no matter what the club do, trot the 'what is a club' line and cite a more than a club rhetoric that has just been destroyed by the very people within it. I don't think it equates to a generation of sheeple but some things you hear....dear me.

I haven't seen obvious change in transfer policy.

Oh of course. It won't be him who fucks up.

there's only Cram left now. And that weird cunt out of Eurythmics. Annie lennox's fanny?

Ashley seems to of the belief that giving money to dickheads and stepping back like pontius Pilate is acceptable and absolves him. It's just as negligent as him being overbearing.

That photo was actually taken from space.

Rest in peyce.

But how would Janmaat help the situation if fit?, the mans a disaster. Well the alternative is just the same but at least his position is right back. Crowbarring Anita is no better. Like I said the squad is shit so I'm not bothered about the herding cats that's happening. Don't envy Rafas choices.

One of the few games I remember being at so vividly. Demented stuff, I was 15 at the time and kind of ruined my childlike concept of football.

With their England hopes, you'd think they'd want out for sure? I can understand them wanting to leave. I can't understand how our club didn't even consider relegation clauses in their contracts though. Oh yes you can.
