I agree. Not too much risk either with it being a one year deal. I think he'll be very useful over the Christmas period when games are every two days.
I partly agree. The quality of signings is for sure vital. And the quality and 'business' has been reasonable so far. Nothing to blow our socks off, but reasonable quality and yes, decent business. However, it's clearly all being done on the cheap, which is surely precluding us from making even better signings, being the sort of signings we really need if we're serious about promotion. He's not re-investing the parachute money and sales proceeds, but taking back the 'gift' with their healthy interest. We've made nowhere near enough signings so far; let's see.. Plus loans, whilst fine to optimise, are hardly building anything for the future and should be used sensibly in balance with long term signings.
If bring down the debt hastens their exit then that's fine by me (problem is it may simply cause them to stay even longer I suppose)
Larrson seems a steady player, lot of Premier League experience, good delivery and got a decent set piece in him, he is aging hence why he has come here and not another premier League club, he has evolved his game into a defensive midfielder from his days on the wing, given how short we are of bodies and experienced bodies at that, its a no brainer to take him for a year. Those who are advocating buying this and that need to remember, we have a basket case of an owner, which is well known throughout the football world these days, an untried manager on these shores, and are an unfancied club with a moderate fanbase. A lot of players wouldn`t even consider us unless we were back in the top league. Larrson aint a bad acquisition where we are presently.
I think Larsson is an excellent signing. Hopefully he still has the drive but it was glaringly obvious we were missing a distributor in midfield vs villa. Midfield was an utter joke at times.
Another thing I like about Larsson is he's always on the refs back during games. Not literally. Sometimes if a decision is 50/50 it helps swing it in our favour. We haven't had anyone do this on the pitch since Ashbee and at times it has annoyed me, particularly when other teams did it effectively.
Surely, if RH lost the rights because they challenged his policies, then they should feel justified and self-assured in continuing to do so. I would also have thought that all editors and journalists worth their salt would do their professional duty. Maybe not, if he's playing those as well ...
He can't be challenged on the things he's said, unless he'll put himself up to be challenged, that's the point. Obviously anyone can be critical of what he's done, but if he won't speak to anyone, nobody can challenge him directly.
Thanks OLM, you put that far better than I did. In addition, Sutty is behaving himself because either, his editor has told him to, or Ehab has promised him exclusive news, information or something in return. As you have already noted Fez, it is in their commercial interest. It won't hold forever. As OLM said, BBC RH can say what it likes, but unless Ehab is prepared to be interviewed, we'll continue to get Sutty's occasional 'puff pieces' in the YP and Ehab's poorly produced propaganda videos.
