Bingo People say these players are s***.....who bought them then?

 

Mind blown. It's asif Ashley doesn't exist and Rafa wasted 20mil of Joselu for the laugh.

 

Do you think the chairman decides who a team signs??.....The manager decides on who he wants to recruit just like in any business. If you think Ashley forced these players on him then youre blinded

 

:lol: *bites tongue* and who do you think sets the transfer budget which in turn dictates the players that the manager can sign?

And when and where that budget can be used as well as who does the negotiating, hence us not getting Tammy Abraham and Willy Caballero because we were too slow.

Youre the tosspot for thinking Mike Ashley decides who we sign. A manager can say no you know. Do a bit of f***ing research and look at some of the absolute s**** that he signed for Liverpool too

 

Oh I suppose Hicks and Gillet forced him to sign that s**** too

 

He does decide because Rafa aint got 100mil in his back pocket to sign a prime Fernando Torres.

He signed most of them so he has to take some responsibility for that.

 

Was Joselu his first choice? Or a last resort due to financial restrictions from Ashley?

 

It doesn't f***ing matter he decided to sign him, he wasn't forced at gunpoint to say yes. He sold a guy in Darryl Murphy who would have been far more effective than this plank

 

He was essentially forced to sign dross like Joselu and Manq due to having no other option, you monumental toss pot :lol:

 

I'm sure he would of loved Cenk Tosun and Luke Shaw, but guess what?

 

NEWSFLASH.

 

MIKE ASHELY OWNS US.

You seem to be forgetting when players were signed over Keegan's head which resulted in his departure. Even Pardew wanted different players to what we actually got.

Who decides the budget? FFS the thickness is expanding on this thread.

 

Well take your enlightened intellect elsewhere, won't be missed.

We aren't a top half side for sure, but there's enough talent to be able to competently have a go at Brighton at home. Rafa clearly didn't fancy it, despite putting 2 strikers on it was very negative in the shape and style. We didn't get beat but the worrying thing is Rafa looked clueless how to obtain the other 2 points against a side he should.

Townsend, Abraham, Caballero, Lucas Perez, Matt Targett.

 

He literally does, or at least his underlings do.

He gives a budget just like any other owner/chairman who runs a business and then the manager works with that budget. He does not decide who is recruited with that budget. Rafa chose to sign these useless fuckers he was not forced to what cant you understand about that

Interesting voting going on considering the posts in here.

 

Maybe because you can criticise him and still want him as manager?

Probably because we lost to them last time. The tactics he's using are damage control until the window opens. If he's not backed he'll walk before it shuts.

Brighton don't concede a lot of goals by the way, worth mentioning again for those who think by throwing players forward we would have won. Like I said in the other thread, better teams than us have struggled to break them down.

Didn't think we'd see the point at which people would genuinely prefer us to sign nobody at all than take desperate punts on cheap players that haven't worked out.

I wouldn't mind it but it's led to a player being frozen out and not given any chance no matter how bad the new signing is. Player peformances on the pitch just don't seem to matter at the minute. Ritchie's been off the boil for months yet he's never out for more than 1 game at a time. With Rafa now saying youngsters can't learn quickly enough. ((Assuming that means Aarons and Murphy, who both have looked bright when given minutes)) Same with Mbemba and Manquillo. Mbemba was always 1 game away from the chop but Manquillo could do no wrong. Of course this will lead people to rather have just not bothered with Manquillo or Joselu.

So why did Keegan win his case for constructive dismissal then? Ashley's a fucking crook man. Are all of our previous managers just lying about wanting their own players that we never got and Ashley is right?

Ah, the perfect mix of arrogance and ignorance. You're talking utter horseshit, you're completely fucking clueless, and clearly fairly proud of it.
