None of his referee team had the foggiest idea what the rule was. Stupid thing is they could have easily turned a blind eye to encroachment, it happens all the time. He clearly wanted to look like a bigshot and make an example of us, then forgot the fucking rules.
I know, it makes no sense. I have no belief he'd do well, but I just daren't imagine the rest of the season with our current strikers.
Hope I'm wrong, he does sign and is a success though.
In the last year we've seen our team concede a free kick from their own penalty because the referee literally didn't know the rules of the game. We should be all for VAR
I'm pretty sure he'd be a huge waste of resources and would fail, he just doesn't look to have any standout qualities to me, think he'd be similar to Joselu, but I still think we should pay whatever it takes just to give the place a lift.
Merino was done before the locals knew about which annoyed the fuck out of Douglas who always gets pissy when someone calls the NCJ out on not knowing something
