Two things: 1. Nobody is claiming this is a good combo - NOBODY- were just not slagging them off. 2. You're drunk? Oh, credibility crash then!
It's a judgement. Hey, guess what, I have concerns too, that I likely wouldn't have were we appointing Mourinho or Pellegrini, or another name that had managed in the league successfully before. What I'm not going to do is convert those concerns (we all have them) into a frankly absurd judgement that "it is ****" before anything at all has happened.
ignore him. People who attack the person and not the argument are just.... [let him fill in his own insult]
Here's a thing - it's not the combo I would have chosen either. The point is, the board deserve and have earned our trust, and I realise comparatively I'm really just some clueless berk on a football forum. I'm not going to sit here with a gavel saying "this is wrong and dreadful". It may well turn out to be. Going by past experience of our appointments, chances are it won't. But to sit here and pass judgment and make statements as fact isn't offering an objective opinion, it's shaking your fist at buses.
Tom, I'm not on my high horse. I'm just telling you that your reaction is like that if a ten year old child who hasn't got the pressie he wanted. Now you may prove to be right, but it doesn't stop the fact that you are behaving like a spoiled brat ( I know, you won't like that and will report me for being insulting). You still haven't answered the questions for the other day or tonight. This is what I'll propose: This time next year if Puel is sacked, I'll take you for a nice dinner and we can have a chat and as a grown up, I'll say "Donyou know what Tom, your feelings at the start have been proved right" So, no high horse for me, more a case of you not like being called out for some very petulant behaviour. Any chance of any answers to the questions or not??
Yet every other choice made sense. This one doesn't. I wouldn't have joined in at all, but I agree with Tom and, frankly, his viewpoint was being sneered at, so I joined in. This might beba clever move, but it is not an ambitious one IMFO.
It's easier to overlook if it's an out of character response, or has backing, but Tom's rattle has been lobbed across the room countless times over the years on this forum. That's what makes it tedious for me. Sorry, Tom. I trust you won't be annoyed because it's only an opinion, of course.
"... Just like the people who attack the manager before he's joined and they've seen what he's like" Just a guess ??
