That’s part of the problem. He’s a very powerful and unfathomable spiteful baby.

Do you think? I reckon that’s the plan. Obviously suing for a billion is ludicrous, but this feels like just the beginning.

Thought has crossed my mind that he might be considered. But then I remembered that we all complained at how sideways & backwards he had one of the most creatively gifted England teams in decades playing. I don’t think Southgate is going to offer much more than Farke’s sideways & backwards.

Nahh. You’re welcome to the sanctimonious little prick.

That draw disappears once you get to the other side of the transfer window. As we learned last time. Hopefully the board learned that too.

Fair point. We tried that last time and it didn’t work, but we tried too late. Imagine we’d gone for Iraola in the October of the relegation season, who knows. I just don’t buy into the idea there’s no one better. Because this clearly is not going to work.

I agree with your first point. I’ve no confidence in the board, the summer transfer window debacle didn’t really show them in a great light. Regarding your last point, that really sums up why it has to happen now. Leave it any later and it becomes impossible. Has to be done before Christmas.

No idea. It’s on the board to have a plan in place. They knew it was likely as they nearly binned him after promotion. All I know is It’s not working & if they stick, we’ll go down. I don’t believe there’s not a single manager out there who is available who could get a better tune out of this squad.

There’s some unnerving pattern recognition kicking in. I’m not mad keen.

Pretty balanced take. We need to be taking more points off more of the teams we don’t expect to if we’re going to survive.

I really want to see him play Piroe with DCL. I hate this unwritten rule in modern football where you can only play a lone striker. If DCL is doing all the holdup but there’s no one there to finish, it feels a pretty obvious fix.

Checked the response to this story int dark place just out of intrigue. Predictably an endless barrage of posts sticking up for the billionaires and completely missing the point. I’d guess a lot are just bot accounts, but still, mad how we’ve come to this.

Exactly what I’ve been thinking for a few weeks. I think even relieving him of the burden of being the sole striker might see him bag a few more as the pressure might be taken off him a bit.

Ah! Sorry. I get you.

A worryingly realistic prospect.
