Can I just say I hate referring to the squad like Pokémon by calling them “the deck”

We said to mark, you get in an elite assistant, we interview for them, they say they want the top job so they can’t get them over the line, so therefore it’s mark’s head cos he said he couldn’t work with Adi again?

Does Doug really believe this side is top six with the midfield??? Only part that seems slightly deluded to me.

Sounds like a proppa geeza

Nice of him to explain the recruitment process that all sensible posters on here were already aware of though!

It needs clarifying, why would someone interview for Assistant Manger then say they wanna be number 1?

Someone needs to ask him why if he was against the changes to the coaching setup and believes that caused all the issues he’s keeping the same structure

Loan players might perform better than players on contract? I'd be fine with that

Never heard a squad referred to as a deck before so much

Agree with his point about loans though. People just used it as a stick to hit king with imo

Initially a bit taken aback by his veracity, but he seems a bit pissed and I agree, why would he expose himself if there wasn't any truth? Certainly, the Viveash exit was always a strange one.

Interesting question about loans to Dean Austin.

"Complications around loans, we have bought a lot of players. With the past owners we had to get loans in to function".
"The problem is that the calibre of players we are looking for has gone up, loan players are going to expect to come in and play"
"Ayari came in, really liked him, went to Mark with it. Mark was really happy with him and he thought Ayari would be a good player. Ayari didn't play as much football as he wanted. His agent and club get involved and they want him to have more minutes. They took him back to go to Blackburn"
