#Nufc's new training ground moved straight to a vote by Coun Jim Allan (with an A not E) and unanimously approved.

I have some concerns over the redevelopment of the training ground under Ashley.

 

As he has a history of doing things on the cheap, will it really be state of the art?  Will he try to incorporate SD somehow in the building structure.

 

Will the club actually own it or could he transfer it to one of his other holdings and loan it back to the club.

 

Probably being a bit paranoid but I can't help but wonder what is in it for him as there is little evidence of him spending money on the infrastructure of the club unless it is to reduce running costs or can promote SD.

It's not really THAT laughable like, considering the season he's just had.

 

EDIT: Unless it's on about their achievements overall? I'm not sure tbh, the whole thing is a bit of a mess.

 

How were the achievements of Guardiola this past season 11 places ahead of Ancelotti's who won the CL and CDR?

No one is debating that, he just said that it's not laughable that Simeone is ahead of them based on last season.

It's current performance and managing the resources available, but there are still serious issues with that list.

 

This is extremely harsh on Wenger:

 

In annually reaching the Champions League, the veteran continues to produce the minimum expected, which is something that so many others fail with and not to be scoffed at. The only issue is that he used to be about so much more. He used to strive to finish first. Arsenal now finish exactly where they are expected to. Financial gaps don't completely cover it. The great manager has entered an extended period of stagnation, but that has still meant standing strong.

I think you're taking the whole thing a bit seriously tbh :lol:

 

It's always going to be a bit of a mess, I just think picking out Simeone of all the managers on that list is a bit odd.

 

Not really picking on him, but it is quite true that he is nowhere near as experienced and decorated a manager as Ancelotti, Van Gaal or Wenger. He's certainly been superb with Atletico. It just struck me as extremely revisionist putting the likes of him/Rodgers/Martinez ahead of some of the elite of world football who have had big track records.
