Yeah. Honestly, I look at that Sheffield United squad that just came down and barring a few players, it doesn’t even look like a good Championship squad.
That squad was one of the worst squads in PL history imo, both on paper and on the pitch when it mattered. Sold their two best players from their promotion season in Berge and Ndiaye and bought one or two decent players like Hamer and Archer but the rest were gash. Really piss-poor recruitment from them. They went straight back up the last time they were in the Championship but I’ll be surprised if they do next season. Barring Archer, Hamer and Souza (who will all probably go) their squad is bang average even for this level.
Aside from having money to spend on wages, they don’t even seem an attractive opposition either. Do players really want to play for Chris Wilder? What sort of style are they? It’s all a bit ‘meh’ Appreciate for lots of players money will be the priority but I think they’ll really miss out on being enticing elsewhere.
Archer I believe had a buyback to Villa on the basis of them going back down. Was like a glorified loan essentially
Fettis,would be a better choice. A goalscoring keeper, ticks all Acuns boxes that, the ultimate boredom buster
Acun is not necessarily picking the match day team but do you not think the “brain team” have discussed the goalkeeper situation and therefore if Alsopp and Ingram aren’t going to be here next season, then for at least the time being Pandur is the default number 1
The "brain team" are essentially analysts, for all the fancy job titles, they're analysing coaches, players, performances etc so it's natural that as part of that work they pull together what they consider to be our best 11. It'll also be how the identify areas we need to strengthen and the players we're willing to let go. If the "brain team" were picking the match day teams, we wouldn't need a head coach, would we.
You're quoting a post from three days ago, the discussion's been done. I don't think Allsop is leaving for what it's worth.
Not a big fan of the new training gear on first look, I'd guess the tiger print on the sleeves will be on the kit. Reminds more of Guylian chocolates than a tiger print though.
Might not be able to sleep due to the training kits. What sort of team we will have for this season and who we stand financially pales into insignificance in comparison
