Proof to all those who think we're miserable unless we're winning trophies: we are more than happy finding things that rhyme with 'Will Still'. Give us football as or more entertaining than that, or piss off.
Still say we should plant a story in the media about Steve Bruce being on our shortlist to see if Todd Bollo hastily arranges an interview with him...
TBH, I think Conte would have done a good job with Dyche's Burnley side - and this isn't me being snide, they were a well-drilled unit and he could've got them a good extra 12-15 points a season easily (although his salary would effectively mean they were paying him £1m per extra point) The ubermensch, on the other hand, would've flamed out in 4-6 months
Seems like a bizarre ruling. Was the judge flipping a coin for each decision? Did pretty well with his signings, overall. Probably not enough movement, though.
Bit gutted. The Nuno appointment was a disaster but I felt the majority of his signings were either good or at least made sense and that the manager ****ed their potential success up. There’s only been two I’d say as catastrophic failures, the £60m pigeon (which wasn’t essentially his signing anyway) and and the Brazilian Hutton. I think for future reference, we just need to steer clear of Brazilians, they just do not cut it here for some reason. Hopefully we can get someone else with a solid reputation in the game with good contacts, just maybe this time not with a court case looming over their head. But this is just another mess the club has to sort out now; no manager, no DoF, potentially no star player, a ton of deadwood needing rid of and about 3-4 key signings required if we’re to kick on next season.
I think not moving more players out the club permanently should also be catalogued under catastrophic failure tbh. Three windows and the only players to have left are Bergwijn, Sissoko and Doherty by accident. We are now into double figures of players who 100% don't have a future at the club, a backlog that I fear is going to cripple us this summer.
Supposedly, we're negotiating to buy Lenglet and extend Dier's contract before we get in anyone to say "**** off, what the hell are you thinking?" Even I've gotta admire Daniel's gall, if it's true...
