HaydnNUFC Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Charnley is a scapegoat for the fans for Ashley; Kinnear as "Director of Football" was exactly the same thing. Little to no movement in the transfer market = fault of the director of whatever the fuck to some of the fans. It's all Mike Ashley and it always has been. Any vitriol should be directed at him and him only. Aye, Charnley may be as useful as a chocolate teapot but he's only the messenger between Rafa and Ashley. Rafa's insistence of a good relationship with Charnley has maintained since his appointment back in March 2016; Ashley is the root of the club's problems and functions and has been for 11 years. Blaming Charnley for it is absolutely pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt help that Charnley is the complete yes man and is seriously underqualified and experienced to occupy the role He's not totally to blame but is totally subservient and complicit in the shit that goes on for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 CM is a pretty important area isn't it? Hayden didn't pull any trees in there last season and I can't see diame having the 2nd half of last season like he had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Reckon that's CM's sorted unless we sign Sturaro, Shelvey, Ki, Hayden and Diame are the four for the two positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
