But the owners have not just flexed financially but also with their actions behind the scenes. They hold meetings with the squad, discussing how the season is going, how they want things to improve, what they expect of their players and staff. It was leaked Al-Rumayyan himself said when we were 3rd at a meeting that while its good and positive, there should be improvements and going that extra step. This culture at the top bleeds down the club and too the players minds. A top 4 is good enough mentality at the top will run off on any player
That’s a small comfort I guess. I can see why Everton fans loved Richarlison, he’s a proper fighter, problem is he just ain’t a £60m type player and we’re seeing that first hand. He’ll probably be first choice next season though as I reckon Kane’s off, so that should be fun…
Rumours that Tuchel will be interested in replacing Conte. We should just call ourselves ex-Chelsea Manager FC. We’ll have Potter lined up in about 3 years too.
He’s had some backing…I can’t live off that...not enough…it’s an unfinished job…latest update seems to be he’s pissing about with a key position that is essential for Conte…we both know that he should just pay up because the asking price for Porro is standard nowadays, nothing amazing. Something Levy always seems to forget but funnily enough, remembers when it comes to selling players. Tell me Bro….Why do fans create forums, podcasts or spend hours and hours discussing youth, injuries, scouting, finances, owners…if the only thing that is affecting the club is the managers tactics and team selections on match day? Then think about how a winner like Conte sees it…hence his latest comments regarding how everyone hides behind a manager and shafts him. We know January isn’t traditionally the best time to purchase but we know we can get the man he wants(Porro)…why’s Levy ****ing about? Is it a one off? Nope seen it all before..as has Conte I guess. ENIC out even if we know it might not happen doesn’t mean we don’t know that’s what we need. Look at Newcastle…Ashley the leech ****s off, new owners…bam..new environment, new culture. I can still use them as an example because tbh they haven’t gone spend crazy, they just spending the required amount on what the manager needs to help them go up a notch… unlike Ashley. Then you get Chelsea, ruthless Roman, he goes and the culture seems to be transitioning…that has affected the team…they are not the winners Roman demanded, they have become the soft touches totally expected when your owner is a clueless Yank. You love Harry Potter…so far he’s done a **** job at Chelsea…is he **** or is it the infrastructure of the club?
More goals than Pope as well. Hopefully Klopp will eventually see what Howe saw with Joelinton and maybe Nunez can rebuild his confidence as a combative box-to-box midfielder.
How cheap/regular is the metro up there? Wondering if it's worth staying in Jesmond to save a few quid. Any overnight car parks in the centre near the ground? Grainger or times square ones perhaps? How late does metro line to airport run?
Wasn't replying to you specifically (you're right I didn't read it ) but just in general there seemed to be complaints about your spending.
