I can't tell if I'm missing a joke here, but taking your comment at face value, the communication and expectation management from the club since around the time they sacked Nuno has been abysmal. They've lost the benefit of the doubt.
I love Rob Edwards and he'd come in a heartbeat but I'm not convinced he's an upgrade on O'Neil.
Just look at the stadium. Tells you all you need to know about their feelings towards the club. I dont expect a new 75k stadium but not even a lick of paint?
Well, simply because if something follows a pattern of an episode that played out with the same management not 13 months ago it seems reasonable to suspect we’re in for a repeat. Fair enough to cling to the hope we might not be, but seems a little optimistic!
He's contradicted himself dozens of times.
Agreed. There have been some mistakes and mixed messages however, Fosun / Jeff were prepared to spend money on Silva. Surely that is to their credit. They were prepared to fund the acquisition of the player. The question needs to be asked who scouted him and who thought he would become a Prem player.
So basically let's crucify him beforehand.
You bored today or something?
It's early May and we are already going down this road
Technically the latest noises don't contradict what Kenny posted. Last Summer we sold players and didn't spend the money, this year we'll sell players and spend some of it. It's just the media outlets span what it meant differently
It's OK, we can follow up with "they have a chance to rectify the poor window in January"It's early May and we are already going down this road
You don't think so?
Crucify who? I’d be content enough if GON stayed and was backed with the growth investment the team, and facilities, clearly need. I doubt he will though, so wouldn’t be surprised or blame him if he left. It would be a new low point though.
As I recall, we are crucifying Jeff based on what happened last Summer on the assumption it is going to happen again.
This is the thing people looking on from afar don't see and the most compelling argument that the whole FFP/PSR stuff is a convenient smokescreen. There's no barrier to spending on infrastructure, they don't even invest in the most basic of upkeep. You don't see it on the tele but the disrepair the ground is falling into is a disgrace
They said in the summer of 23 that we needed more time to scout attacking players and we'd be able to pick someone up as a result in January...
It wasn't that long ago the temporary stand was condemned and had to be re built due to safety concerns! The fact it got into that situation says it all.
