Ronaldo Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Think Howe handled the questions in the presser really well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Howe would be able to judge his frame of mind from training this week but I would be tempted to have him on the bench and bring him on late in the game if we are winning so the crowd can get behind him.

Mazzy Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Whose the absolute donut of a journalist who asked Howe "does Tonali love the game?". How does that guy have a job. I'm not sure being a reporter should even be a paid profession if that's the type of bollocks they ask. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My unmatched brilliance as a player and coach, unwavering commitment to success, and inspiring leadership have elevated clubs to unprecedented heights. My strategic genius and dedication have rewritten the game's narrative, making me a beacon of excellence. My impact reaches far beyond the pitch, as I generously support communities and nurture future football talents. I'm acknowledged as a living legend whose legacy inspires all. Join me in celebrating my greatness and the boundless possibilities I continue to unlock in the world of football. Sandro has a gambling addiction, when we get relegated after losing every game this season, it's Sandro's fault. Thanks everyone, that's the press conference over. I'm off for my elevenses. *bacon of elegance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Bruce: “Listen, we all make mistakes, the lad’s made a big one and the fans will want to see him fighting for the club. That’s what mattered to me when I was lucky enough to manage there, you have to prove yourself everyday. He needs to be given time, but it’s not easy, I think if I’d had that extra time things would have gone differently and I just wanted a fair crack at the whip.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's not ideal, for sure. Is he prepared for Saturday? I guess we'll find out, you know. We have Longstaff, Bruno, Joelinton, Miley, Anderson and Willock all out with knocks and suspensions, and I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses, but we've got no choice to throw Sandro in alongside Fabian in midfield. It's not ideal, I understand that. So we'll see how it goes and if he plays well then great. And if he doesn't then we'll roll our sleeves up and move on."

Top post. so somebody who is an addict should be exonerated from a crime? Like a fella mugging someone to feed a habit isn’t responsible for their actions? giveowwa addict or not, betting on your own team is not exactly under the radar as far as the rules are concerned. He made a dumb decision and got caught. He’s a plank. Even Gillespie who is as dumb as a fence post managed to swerve that little infraction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) "Listen, I understand just as much as you do. We're all in the dark. I spoke to Lee last night and he said he and Mike aren't aware of any gambling allegations. I've not personally spoken to Sandro about it, I spoke to Steve [Agnew] and he said the boy appears to be his usual self when he has been in training. It's been difficult for Sandro leaving his boyhood club to come here and this obviously doesn't help, but I'm sure he'll be okay. If he does get the book thrown at him I'm positive he'll learn from it and come back stronger. Will this mean we will make a move in January? We'll see, we may have to get creative and explore the loan market, that's not for me to say. But everyone at the club certainly wishes Sandro all the best."

MrRaspberryJam Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 "At the end of the day, is Sandro injured? No. Is he suspended? No. So is he available? In my opinion, yes. Since I came in we've been trying to change the way we play and we need our best players available for that. So Sandro will play unless something happens in the next 24hrs. We were hoping to have Matty [Longstaff] available this weekend but he's taken a setback in training this week. Roy [Hodgson] has them well organised so it will be a difficult game. I think our first win is just around the corner, our performances have been a lot better than the results so far this season have suggested. Callum [Wilson] will have a late fitness test."

Almost perfect. Just need to work in "to be brutally honest," "since I walked in the door" and a few "well, y'know"s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
