    Go back and re-read what I said then. I always blamed Ashley for what was ultimately wrong with the Club.

    Do you mean as in 2024? Or this season year? Because one is true and the other is false

    ‘This year’.

    Hmmm, very tricky question you have raised. May need a Teacher’s Training Day to consider that.

    So who's to blame now... you definitely went after Bruce mate.

    Surely you can't blame a manager ever again for anything now.

    Bruce was and is an absolutely useless manager who was quite happy to act as a mouthpiece for Ashley but as I have already said before and many times since the ultimate problem was Ashley. Bruce didn’t help as he was so useless but I never blamed him for the ultimate problems with the Club but did for being an absolutely useless manager.

    I’m really no longer interested in Bruce and haven’t been since he left but please feel free to keep dragging him up if you wish in your apparent obsession with him.

    Financial Year, not really pertinent.

    Academic Year, not really pertinent.

    Football Year, not ever used by any human being in contrast to Football Season.

    <cheers>

    That's very interesting, but it just looks like you've set one set of standards for previous managers and a new one for Howe.

    I'm just wondering how you/we can ever now be critical about any manager ever again?

    I thought so well I'll be watching mate... Remember you're blaming the owners the club and every single person and not one person is ever going to be accountable for their specific role.

    You need to read your thread title more carefully. I’m not ‘blaming’ anyone. What I have said is that more than one person is responsible when a side plays badly. That’s a different point to the one you’re trying to claim I’m making.

    You need to read the question actually and the think about the significance of who's looking after finances and who's responsible for how the teams performed.

    Give me a second. Okay, I’ve re-read it. No change, my answer is the same as before.

    Yep, more than one person.
