Bimpy474 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) As we all know until the fat shit has gone, we'll continue to operate as tin pot shambles without a pot to piss in. Mighty glad the The Premier League protect us though, what if we were run by a joyless, vindictive man baby, who treated us like a bit of shit. God forbid.

Manquillo is pretty crap as well by PL wing back standards. That's how bad we are in some areas of the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelevats Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Our recruitment strategy is horrendous. Its why we have gaps all over the squad and those that have been recruited recently just not up to it (Krafth & Lewis to name 2). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 We should have gone after getting Willems on a free, moving Ritchie on; and brought back Lazaro to play the wing back role on the right if we continue to just re-hash the same players. Manquillo was looking every bit the part and earned a new contract (i believe?) only to be just benched for an eternity? so odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help if we had a team of people dedicated to planning these sorts of things. Instead we're stuck with a service desk team lead who's in way above his head. Anyone who thinks MA is an excellent businessman wants to take a look at themselves. The bloke could have had it all 7/8 years ago had we had a proper structure in place from when he took over.

Give me a structure and a plan like Brentford & I'd be happy however we have zero structure and zero plan. The mental thing is had a genuine football structure been put in place it wouldn't have cost that much money & would have potentially made MA a boat load of money.

I’d obviously like to have insane riches, but just a competent well run strategy would be totally fine with me. I love what they do. It’s criminal that we don’t have anything in place. Yeah obscene riches would be the dream but employ people who can build a plan around our resources & constraints. That for me is a club that is trying which deep down is all we ask for. Us hanging on for a 1-0 win isn't us trying, its a bi-product of the culture that exists - we have to hang on aka the fight or flight response.

et tu brute Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Bruce has a perfect excuse to use if he goes with his threat of 4 goalkeepers, meaning one less outfield place and one less incoming transfer option. Fat cunt will use it also. Why the fuck would he name 4 though.? Two are long term injuries, so get the medical opinion of which one will return first, select him for the squad and leave the other one out until January.

Guest Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Sell Darlow. Sheff Utd or Bournemouth or someone I’m sure would pay £5-6m for him since they’ve lost their main keeper over the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
