Of course they can, or do Rangers not have any of their trophies as they are a new club? it was recognised that AFC Wimbledon were the continuation of Wimbledon football club. It should have been instantaneous that the heritage and IP went to them.

Not sure we were ever hell bent on one way of playing. There’s been plenty of tweaks throughout his time here. We’ve changed formations in games Wilson Isak 4-4-2 anyone? Dan burn as left back/auxiliary centre back in defence. Joelinton and Willock interchanging on the left hand side. He’s not perfect but nobody is.

So many goals fall into this bracket, but only the spectacular get this type of discussion.

PIF just need to put their money into cloning him.

Sir Bobby said that a managers success could be judged by leaving the club in a better position than when you arrived. By this metric Benitez was a huge success whereas Bruce was a significant failure.

I don’t recall any significant delay but not sure on my recall. He hadn’t managed in the second tier since the year 2000 and had most recently been at Real Madrid before ourselves. I think it’s harsh to say some truth, it seems to be plenty of truth that we were lucky to have him. Keep in mind as well he would have been negotiating with Ashley and doubtless he wanted to wrest as much power as he could away from the clubs hierarchy. By the end of the championship season he had the players highly organised. The structures put in place were an excellent foundation for whoever came in after him and it took a while for the defensive solidity to wear off. Then there’s the stuff to do with being responsible in part for bringing the Saudi’s/Staveley in. I have no doubt that if the takeover had gone through sooner he would have remained in post.

Even when he stayed post relegation? Just cannot agree.

Those shades are incredible.

It is. Not quite sure what he’s getting at with it.

The form he is in there is literally no benefit at all to us selling him this summer.

To be fair to Joey he didn’t say kick. Dickhead.

You may well be right, it may also be the case that other players were genuinely preferred and the links to Barca and Arsenal were tenuous. It’s difficult to draw firm conclusions from transfer negotiations because they are opaque.

Kinda feel the prices Bournemouth pay are predicated on not keeping the players.

Ian W….

They’ve got Elias!

The cirumstances that made this what it was will never happen again in our lifetimes. I don't doubt we will have further success but it'll never be that. It's like blowjobs. I can remember vividly the two best of my life (one was the first), but I still enjoy them all.

Is he our longest serving player, he and Longstaff both made debuts in August 2018.

Except for the failed roulette

For such a heed tha ball he was so controlled.

When Sandro took over in the corner just rolling his foot around the top of the ball.

At the end of the day to some it is only the league cup. But for us, it’s whatever we want it to be. This is a club that has had failure ingrained in its dna in the modern era. People cannot understand what it’s like to have this type of success. It’s ours not theirs.

Their depth is insane. The gap may close with our additions and the loss of some of their players.
