I reckon we have him for one more season and if we don’t kick on he then goes. Madrid does worry me. If they come knocking for anyone they would go. They need a CM to replace aging players.
Whatever the situation is around Christmas will tell us whether Howes getting things right. Ultimately we have to hope he is otherwise we'll just be the next failed pretenders.
They are paying a signing on fee of £128million split over the 5 years of his contract, in addition to his yearly salary. Works out at about £750000 a week.
He actually stated in his interview he was asked his opinion on the candidates. He definitely didn't say he had the final say.
When a fanbase dislikes a manager everything is the managers responsibility and when they do like the manager they blame other areas. That's how it works.
He has more influence on this decision than anyone because if he is staying as manager (which I believe is a good thing) then he needs to know he can work with the DoF. So it is my opinion that his final word is the one which will most likely be the decision maker for the final selection.
It's just reality... nothing about milk or ways of looking at things. That's for people that have to use mental gymnastics to make things appear how they need things to appear. Big clubs will be interested in Gordon for sure.
I don't look at glasses of milk and tell myself anything other than it's milk. You should try to understand the amount doesn't change based on how I look at it. Can you part the sea?
Sounds like that is supposition on your part. Surely his ability to work with the CEO is the most important one, as that is who he reports to. The DOF would be anticipated to be a more long term appointment than a Manager, as they tend to come and go based on results, so it would be silly to put too much emphasis on whether the current Manager can work with him.
By concentrating on the amount of milk, you miss the point. It’s not the amount of milk that is important. If Moses can do it, then so can I.
It is actually because its matter of fact rather than hocus pocus. How about a username and avy bet to the contrary?
I do and I've got all the evidence in screenshots to foil the cult leaders plan. I've played him like a pack of cards.
You said it your self he was consulted on which one he would prefer to work with. I don’t mind that btw. A manager and a DoF need to have the same views and opinions. To work in the right direction. Why would him having the final say be an issue anyways?
