They absolutely do mate, they own the club. But as you say, that’s fine and it’s been good so far, great in fact. We overachieved last season for sure in terms of where we expected to finish at start of season, but that doesn’t make it ok to drift backward. Momentum is everything in sport.
The initial betting looks grim mind happy it means nowt ha. Edit: it’s changed so Sable favourite and Potter (pleeeease) not viewed as impossible.
Bringing on young players to sell may look ok on paper, but the top clubs buy the top players - they rarely sell them. This is a genuine question: Do any of today’s clubs that compete consistently at the top of their own leagues and in Europe run on this template? How many out of how many?
Waste of time looking mate, pretty sure they just have the same names with every manager job available. Copy, paste, change club name.
Sky Bet's odds have Thierry Henry and Gourvennec in the top 15. Both names mentioned in here. Gourvennec started a new job 5 days ago. Genuinely think the bookmakers are using AI to data mine over forums like this to pick out names. Even Farioli is 11th favourite on SkyBet
And even they sell well, made a profit in transfer market the last few years before this summer. Its all about selling players at the right time, keeping players and allowing them to run down contracts and decrease in value is detrimental to long term success.
Dortmund and Atletico Madrid have done well out of that kind of policy over the last decade or so. Its basically how clubs like Ajax, Benfica, Porto have to operate to survive due to their big European club status in relatively low ranking leagues. RB Salzburg are pretty much doing the same thing too.
Every top club sells. Liverpool sold Coutinho and brought in Van Dijk and Alisson with the money and they constantly sell squad players for big fees, City are always refreshing their squad by selling players, Spurs sold their best player in Kane and look better without him. The only big club that fails to sell players is Man Utd and they are paying the price for that. It's all about developing an asset, getting the most money you can and reinvesting into the squad.
I fully agree but as I think he’s the dream appointment I will cling to any scraps of it happening ha.
Simon Jordan currently ripping into TM on talksport for not keeping his trap shut in the public domain instead of having it out with KLD personally
I don’t see how anyone can expect anyone long term, as soon as they have a poor run they know now they will be sacked. Don’t see this queuing for a job either. Maybe the scratters but nobody with anything about them. Manager wanted Salary poor to fair Appointment You have to work kids I buy for you and I choose who we get rid of, If you have a blip you will be sacked. Are you interested. Shove and hoop comes to mind.
You mean kids like Ballard, Clarke, Hume, Cirkin (when fit), Huggins, Ekwah, Bellingham etc. There is so much growth in this team, I'm confident we'll have suitable coaches ready to step in to TM's shoes.
