I think he is absolutely not the sort to do that. much more likely to make a data led decision.

I’m frustrated too but if you think about it logically rather than as emotionally invested fans you can see how it happens. There are similarities for when you buy a house. You are really careful with your choice and then when you think it’s all agreed sometimes it falls through for reasons you...

A lot of melodrama on here again: profit on every player bar Kitchin athe moment. I’ve ignored EMC / Dovin on basis it’s too early to judge. If wright rediscovers last seasons output he would go for in excess of £10m. I agree we need a bit more experience but I’m told we tried hard to get...

Players having a go at each other on the pitch happens all the time. Most successful teams have a bit of that about them. I’ve played in a tonne of teams where it happened, sometimes between best mates. What ever our issues are this isn’t one of them.

Unacceptable:

A bit of an old fashioned view that one of the coaches needs to be a nasty bastard. Why ? who is the Nasty bastard at Man City or Arsenal or West Brom or Blackburn or Birmingham etc etc … These clubs are all doing well with young hugely over paid but talented players. The days of young...

I’ve met many very very wealthy people and the one thing none of them had was patience. If they are prepared to wait 3-4 years then they only want it if it’s available at a knock down price and have no real desire to own it.

I’m personally not convinced over the Fraser piece. They showed zero appetite to buy us when we were clearly distressed and available at a knock down price. Mike Ashley is a billionaire, he can buy us at any point he wants … cash flow won’t be holding him back if he truly wants the asset. I...

What is your source ?

Very few modern club owners buy a club because it was their life long passion or plan to do so. Do you really think Sheik Mansour, Todd Boehly, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, Tom Brady, etc etc etc grew up with this ambition ?? It doesn’t make them good or bad owners. What determines that is what...

Personal lives are private for a reason.

You fell for it. Reeled in just like that.

You’re easily amazed I assume.

What fundamentals are we ignoring then ? improve squad ✅ Own players rather constant churn of loans ✅ Improve training ground ✅ Bring supporters with you ✅

This isn’t 1982 either.

Yes much better to decide we are uniquely different and should plot a completely different path …. 🤣

Think about it differently. Having larger teams of specialist positions is now common place amongst elite football clubs all over the globe. Having larger teams of specialist coaches is also common place amongst elite teams across many sports across many continents. why ? Is it group think or...

Of course it’s a plan. That analogy is not correct. Your examples are things rich people do with the money they have once successful. My example is the things people do to build a business into one that increases their chances of making them successful.

Decision making is part plan part situational. Our plan is to put in place the support structures modern football clubs have in place to enable us to compete. Our situation was that Lawrence left and Adi left for undisclosed non football reasons. Seems like the right time to make the decision...
