So being a PL club constantly in a relegation battle was success was it? Doing it this way means that once we get up we stay up. Look at Brentford, they've had some very good seasons up there and barely get dragged into a relegation fight. Brighton too.
Jesus. If beating the mags is the most important thing you need to maybe take a look at your own standards. We wouldn't have had to have them 'unbelievable runs' to stay up if we were competently ran, I know I didn't enjoy them it was more of a relief to stay up and a hope to not go through it again, but it never changed.
Janssen 's name is heard strongly for Sunderland and Norwich “Is” heard strongly, not “was” heard strongly.
Id say with the players we have now, we'd be more suited to an attacking system imo. Id be looking to set the team up to play through the lines, getting the ball into our wingers quickly to get them 1v1 as quickly as possible. Id then be looking for our midfield runners (rigg jobe ekwah) into the box, we have a young team so for me we should be fit so id be playing at a tempo both in n out of possession Obviously its harder without a striker n recognised cdm (neil is still quality in that role i just like him higher up the pitch) but with the players we have it should be front foot football imo
What you can spend is relevant to the revenue of the club though and ours is right up there for this level excluding player sales. Pointless being a “big” club if you aren’t going to use what you can to your advantage.
I hated those seasons, yes loved getting one over that lot but the seasons were dreadful. Awful football, no plan in place, lacked quality players and had players on silly money, with little return from any of them
I suppose it depends whether you choose to believe that we tried again over the weekend, as was rumoured on here. Also, Michael Walker's tweet, which must have come from Still's camp, didn't imply a hard "no" from Still. Who knows mate, maybe clutching at straws again haha
Odds only mean something when someone becomes a huge favourite out of nowhere or betting gets suspended
Tell you what mind, the names we've been linked with over the last year or so, Farioli, Fonseca etc have gone on to do some very good things in the game. We're definitely fishing in the right pond, just need to change our bait
It's absolute bollocks isn't it. Maric has been linked to us for ages now, and has yet to officially be confirmed as Kompany's assistant. Could easily still be him, yet Papszun who hasn't been linked to us in months, is more of a favourite on SkyBet than Maric, all thanks to Macca
