Exactly.
A mentality shift is needed from the fans too. Everyone has to expect more from this club if any of us want to see this club win anything in our lifetimes.
Toney has some very good qualities, I'll give you that, but I just don't see him as being a prolific striker.Fixed
And we all know that there's every chance another gambling ban crops up.
More importantly within the fanbase. Until then the club will just carry on as they always do.
Fan mentality isn't particularly relevant. You'll never get enough fan uproar against ENIC unless lower table beckons.
While ENIC are the owners everything will be ultra carefully calibrated to achieve 4th place. The perfect balance of revenue, profit and (low) risk. The next owners could be better or indeed worse ..
I'm a Spurs fan so I'll always support the team, and 4th place still means plenty of wins to enjoy along the way. But we are never winning the title without an absolute freak of a season, which won't happen.
I do have some hope that Ange's approach might win a cup though, that'd be great.
Was about to celebrate us being able to move this guy on (miracle after injury record), then read "medical almost completed".

[EDIT] Breathe out - he's a free agent.

(He's already released though, don't worry)
We already released him?
[Edit] just read up - free agent. Good luck fulham tbf.
Tried to play for us!
I'm as anti ENIC as anyone, but signing players you've heard of isn't a plan, nor is it any guarantee of success.
I want players that can perform and have a record of doing so. Players that can perform the role we're employing them for.
If you were an employer, would you ignore a CV and recommendations from prior employers of a candidate and just say "I've heard of him, so I'll take him"
We've failed miserably trying to sign household names too many times. We need a rethink. I hadn't heard of Udogie, Van De Ven, Sarr or Vicario before we got them. Yet every one of them improved us.
I had heard of Lucas Moura, Moussa Sisoko, Erik Lamela, etc, etc, etc, and most of them were shit.
I'm all for animal welfare but it does make me wonder where my donations are going when they're able to employ professional footballers.
Won hung lo...
hes defo an upgrade on richarlison. i like richy, but hes not a good footballer.
we at least have an idea of what we get from toney, gyokeres would be a bit of a gamble.
even if rich stays toney would be a good buy. rich can play on the left and we need better options for striker. veliz looks a long way off being ready and thats if he ever will be.
It's basically about Koreans buying tickets...money money money
I'll take any of that.Win the league cup and our own fans will be referencing it as 'clown cup' or 'worthless cup' I think I heard when we won the 'Worthington' Cup.
Win the FA Cup and it will be played down as a minor, over due trophy on the back of lucky draws.
Win the UEFA Cup and it will be the Thursday night budget squad cup.
Win the league and it will be because it was the easiest ever season to win it. ever.
Deep down I think every single one of us knows this. Even those who would never, ever admit it.
