He's entitled to do owt he wants and people are entitled to make their own judgement on his actions. I mean I'm a big fan of Benitez, and I suppose instead of looking at it as going to a club that's been leveraged you could look at it as going to somewhere where the fans need the club to be saved. Then again this is all pointless because he won't go there IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 2 hours ago, Theregulars said: This, completely. What’s the point? I get trying the moneyball thing but at some point you’ve got to just meet reality on its terms. I suppose they’d counter that it’s dangerous to saddle the club with debt or contracts they can’t jettison - suppose the real problem is the total inequality that money has caused in the game. Best solution in my view is a salary cap and floor and spending cap and floor, but that doesn’t = instant and constant profit so bleurgh. They aren't big enough clubs to go their unless someone suddenly decides to throw money at them. Also I'm not sure if it necessarily will wear their fans out, they have success in coming up and they have some failure in dropping, then success again in coming up again. For the size of the clubs promotion to the top league is an achievement and its certainly got to be better than constant nothingness just below mid table year after year IMO.

You would think so but that scenario, whilst good for the supporters, requires investment. Considerable investment, obvs. I even think the article was about Ashley's type of ownership. Absolute minimum investment but enough to get promoted. Good crowds, support ensues. Quick season in the Prem, minimum investment, still receive canny TV revenue and get a huge parachute payment on relegation. rinse, repeat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Allardyce wants it, with huge bonus if they stay up. If ever a manager and club suited each other, this is it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 The irony is, should they go down, the best man available to take them back up would be…. Dyche Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Friend at work heard he went on the lash with Duncan Ferguson after the Everton game and assaulted a bouncer. Would usually think its shite but something has to have happened as you don't just sack without a plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
