The y have him on 50 charges. He’s fucked and the club were sleeping at the wheel. They should have been saying to the fa yeah he’s guilty but obviously he’s been punished in Italy and is undergoing treatment. Let’s get this all done asap so he doesn’t miss anymore football, instead it’s dragged on for 6 months for absolutely no reason.

I mean we have definitely improved things, because things couldn’t actually have been worst, but it’s all low hanging stuff, hiring more people etc.

They will definitely give him a fresh new ban, no reason this needed to take so long.

That’s exactly what it is, boasting about working in portacabins the kids share with the data people This article only demonstrated how far behind we are and the massive obstacles we’ve got to overcome.

I thought @Dr.Spaceman Was doing a tbg with that post so ignored. If it’s serious opinion then

Thanks for sharing this.

We definitely need a left back; Tino isn’t a left back he’s done a great job standing in but he’s wasted there offensively. As for the rest of the left backs, Dan burn being first choice kinda tells you all you need to know about them.

Zero content from the jollies from the club is odd lol.

Uefa don’t do draconian punishments for FFP breaches. PSG who are without a doubt the most ridiculous club in the world always get away with fines.

The stadium sponsorship figure quoted here is massively low as well. Bare in mind Everton were getting 10m per year for the option to name the stadium

100% and this isn’t to say Barnes is bad either. It’s just quite clear we needed an upgrade on the right flank, and most people had it high on the wish list.

Dibs on di Marco.

From a footballing perspective I want us to keep hold and only sell if the clause is met. If someone meets said clause I hope it’s someone from another league, would be gutting to see him play for someone else in the PL.

Yeah for sure, I mean ticketing issues is basically who will get the shit end of the stick as demands outstrips supply. that being said, let people pick where they want to sit ffs.

Thanks for sharing this. Promising news regarding the feasibility study results hopefully being out by end of April.

And even if he doesn’t, I doubt a player who ran at the first opportunity will be returning here.

Yeah we don’t, so why gamble? And yes, the degree of separation between Howe and Edwards wasn’t ideal but given we weren’t likely to get Edwards it’s a moot point, and Edwards own reputation would have carried him, he wouldn’t have needed Howe influence to get the job. When speaking of Monchi and the guy at city, it’s a bit different, Sevilla and Barca are not Bournemouth (with all due respect to Bournemouth) we are taking about serial winners and people who have achieved more than most. The same can’t be said for Richard Hughes. (Again no disrespect to him or his achievements). One of the things we are most lacking in is elite experience and this is a theme throughout all levels of the club, and as this season has shown it’s area which we have found wanting, we have copied well with an elite schedule. And we absolutely do need the best people, however I’m not sure the best person is Eddie’s friend.

Michael Edwards reputation outstrips Richard Hughes at this point, it also outstrips the of Eddie Howe as well. At this stage leaving Liverpool when they desperately wanted to keep him and joining us after his small break would have represented a step up for us. Richard Hughes leaving Bournemouth for us would have been a step up for Hughes.

Basically, the manager should obviously advise what position he’s after and what attributes he’s looking for and of course the sporting director should take this into consideration. Ultimately for it to be successful the manager has to be fully on board with such a set up and the sporting director better have a clear idea of what’s required. The reason why it falls to the sporting director is because he’s responsible for implementing this across all levels of the club and hiring the next manager.

I prefer a system whereby the club has a Philosophy of its own, a distinct playing style which we fit everything else around. A bit difficult because we obviously got the manager first, either way hopefully we things turn out the way we hope.

From the reporting he’s very influential over the uk members of the board and has a very large say in our transfer business

Speaking for myself, I just want separation between manager and Sporting director. It’s certainly nothing personal with Richard Hughes. for me, it’s important the sporting director is in charge of the long term strategy and that includes managerial appointments old boys networks and nepotism and things I’d like to see us avoid. Given media reporting (of course impossible to verify and know if it’s true) but the manager already has more sway over things than I’d like. Just my views.

Would avoid someone with this injury personally.

I like Madueke a lot too, but isn’t he a walking injury?

We are cursed
