They fucked up massively by going against Amorim’s wishes and bringing in Sesko


Felt like a “keeping up with the Joneses” move

He wanted Ollie Watkins didn't he? Tbf, they'd probably be doing a bit better if they'd backed him on that.

I think so, in fairness, they would have overpaid for Watkins significantly but they gave him a striker that was a terrible fit for a club in transition and at a low point

I don't rate Amorin, but clubs are looking at resale value rather than what the manager actually needs. Chelsea operate in exactly the same manner. It's one of the reasons I don't see Howe leaving here unless he becomes really disillusioned, the club have generally backed him over DOFs looking at profit margins only.

I wonder if they’d consider making a move for Howe and if they did is it a project/club size that he’d consider leaving?

 

Even in a world where Howe would leave (I don't think it's this one), there is no way their fans would give him time. Way too "boring" a name.

Like with the Chelsea job, I think the whole thing around control would stop him from taking it.

No chance Howe leaves us for a club run by the Glazers.

I do wonder if there is going to be a bit of a reckoning at these big six clubs when it comes to DOF’s. Two sackings in a week where the managers relationship with those in that role have broken down. 
 

Rummenigge’s comments about Woltemade were a result of DOFs in Germany being much more publicly accountable to the fans than in the Premier League. I do wonder if we will start to see that here - managers are left to defend all the clubs decisions in public whereas you only hear for the directors in club led interviews and Athletic puff pieces. Fans will want to see more accountability from people with so much influence.

Even though I don’t rate the vast majority of that illustrator’s output, this is a genuine masterpiece and will stand the test of time

Yeh two points.

 

In a season where you guys haven't had to worry about European football or League Cup since Grimsby sent you packing.

 

Keep forgetting they've been playing one game a week since pretty much the start of the season and have still not been able to take better advantage of the situation, especially with how open the league is :lol:

It did seem like they were improved. I wouldn't go as far as saying they were turning the corner though. They're sat 5th like, really bizarre timing. 

 

I really, really hope they go for Southgate.

Just saw something flash up on my feed saying Liverpool will sack Slot this week :lol: surely not? 

 

 

 

 

They are unbeaten in 9 games actually so again that would be strange timing.  :lol:

True, but these people can’t help themselves :lol:
