It is fairly well documented what initially happened but media not allowed to ask questions regarding current situation.
I’ve not seen it documented anywhere tbh, and the longer it goes on without any solid information the more people will be inclined to engineer their own theories on the subject.

It does seem like the club are trying to avoid discussing the issue, which is most strange and will inevitably lead to people drawing their own conclusions, especially in the current environment.

The Dutch coach Peter speaks excellent English. I assume if there’s any communication issues, he’s the man for the job.

Dutch and Scandinavians for the most part speak excellent English. Everyone under the age of 70 started learning it as soon as they started their equivalent of primary school. British schools teach second languages far too late. Second language acquisition is most effective before the age of 11. It’s still possible after then obviously, but the earlier you start, the easier it is.

We speak English we don’t need to learn another language ffs
 
He could tell the supporter that we have a strategy to deal with our lack of wing backs, or that we will play a formation that will suit the players we have, or any of a range of answers that answers the question without giving anything away, rather than a ****y "You should be a scout" sarcastic response.
I listened to that and it was definitely not a ****y you want to be a scout reply, it sounded more like by bloody ell these supporters are very clued up !!!
 
Forss didn't have a great time here, but he isn't the ridiculous donkey that City fans now make him out to be. We're always very harsh towards on-loan strikers.

I don't think I am to be fair but he did not show much promise. Maybe he didn't give a toss.
 
Yeah this has been my underlying issue with the recruitment. Centre halves were great last season, needed more goals from them yes but that was as much down to the delivery. Top half defence. 2nd worst attack, if we aren’t going to bother bringing in wing backs who’ll contribute to the attack why persist with that shape when we can just play one where they don’t have as much creative burden put on them and instead play one with more attackers, 4-2-3-1/4-3-3

They have to either do as you say and get 2 wing backs who can get up the field and cross the ball. Or, as Liverpool does, play a much higher line, which pushes the midfield and forwards up the pitch, and presses the opponents more in their half of the field. Yes, you are exposed to a ball over the top or a counterattack, but you should get more chances to score.
