I really don't think we should look at it that way though, im sure we all watched many games this season and thought we were well below par. I know I did. Looking at next season we will need as follows for the first team alone imo. New keeper to start New right back to start (to replace tino) A Sandro Tonali replacement. A new right winger to start. A new left winger to start A new striker to start. We need starters for half the team.

They have to make a valuation of 4-6b in the next few years. The athletics deep dive on that project is exceptional.

I think this is why the whole situation is so hard to swallow. Because Mitchell was obviously a massive cunt but he was correct.

Another summer, another episode of revenge of the cartel.

Seriously? Fucking hell man.

Amazing business.

The point was any sporting director could have got that renewal done.

Aye, as I mentioned earlier that 18 months of no activity from us has made our long term planning extremely tricky. It really does feel like we are stuck .

That's true, he's not the sporting director equivalent of Yoanne Wissa, that is a relief.

Gordon being sold looks absolutely nailed on.

Maybe I'm being mean spirited but isn't this the lowest hanging fruit?

It's mental to say but ours. We spent a lot more on our rubbish.

I don't think Hopkinson will be making that call, and that in itself puts him in a really difficult position.

I think he's sucking his thumb and doing what he's told.

Very difficult to take such post seriously tbh

We do like .

Nothing dodgy about city's ownership change though. It would also set a horrible precedent.

No, why would that be a thing?

Absolutely, all of the issues aside hubris was probably one of the biggest issues last summer.

As someone who would make a change at this point... You don't genuinely believe that season we finished 7 was some sort of under achievement do you? That's pretty much par.

At the same time, the thought of starting off the transfer windows with our only wingers being Elanga and Murphy is the stuff of absolute nightmares.

Aye ideally you'd want to let go but we've got too much to do in this window as is. I think this is where those 3 windows of no activity really hurt us.

This is where I am, they basically said fuck the nonsense rules.

I think that's probably about one third of his wage, he was on about 250k per week iirc at city. We are indeed awful in those markets but for someone on a free we need an eye on resale value because these guys come with higher wages and loyalty bonuses.
