I take your point. I actually agree they'll wait until summer regardless. Very easy to see Howe going to the England job after the world cup.

No chance Tuchel stays beyond the WC, he's a top club manager and he will want to return to that.

The talk ...the difference between fan friendly talk & the real business of the club. There's no chance the Saudis are in the business of subsiding a mid table club. They will want consistent performance ...in the top 4 ...get the cash & make a return on their investment.

One tactic that's been found out and he's not showing any evidence of coming up with some new answers.

Hardly dragged down to their level. They were comfortable and brave in possession and we were nowhere close to that.

Disagree. They'd be wanting consistent champions league football for the £ and there's no evidence that is going to continue at the rate this team is going.

An investment in which they're seeing diminishing returns due to inept management

I appreciate that they're saying results don't matter ...and I agree at the youngest ages but when you're 17-18 you are supposed to be playing for a career? It's your job. Learning to win is part of development.

It's too easy to say 'ah just wait until 3-4 years' as it's impossible to disprove.

I've watched some of the games and it's risk adverse 433 sideways passing and ball retention for the sake of staying in the game.

Players aren't challenged to dribble past opposition or playing a forward pass with a bit of risk.

I was at the USG game and the instructions from the side was poor.

Woeful performances. Wool being pulled over people's eyes about 'development over results' when the top 8 teams in the youth league are churning out top players. Why not develop & win?

Not at all convinced the young players we have are anywhere close to the 1st team.

Just need to sign his replacement and sell him at the most opportune time. Then use the £ to buy another right back. He's a great player but he's had more injuries than a lad his age should have had.

It's a straight red for violent conduct. Don't need to see players hitting each other on a football pitch regardless if they are teammates or not. Referee had no other choice.

I remember when she had to apologise for emailing Tories the questions she was going to ask in advance of interviews. No resignations then ...

Looks out of answers I'm afraid.

Need to get the 'wingers' much closer to Woltemade otherwise he gets pinned by CB and can't turn and play forwards. Wingers are too isolated when they play on the touchlines.

IDS might just be the thickest bloke in Parliament.
