Yeah just like everyone else about your posts since worming your way back. Now you want to pretend like you weren’t doing your usual act all season and simping for board and manager.

Fuck off would yas. TonySoprano TonySoprano nailed it when you returned. Unwanted. At least have the fucking self awareness to make a multi and crawl back.

We all know the second we have some form you’ll pull your usual tricks and be trolling with pro levy takes.
 
You're not understanding what I've said.

I was not completley satisfied with the window. I wanted us to get experienced players over youth (i was fine with the Bergvall youth signing and thought we shouldn't spend 35m on Gray if it meant we don't bring in a more experienced central midfielder). I also thought we should go for Eze over the Young wide players we were linked with (doue being the main as Odobert wasn't even linked).

It doesn't matter what I wanted though. Above everything i stated that even though I thought the manager was absolutely useless it was absolutely vital they back him with what he genuinely wanted and I'm certain he was happy with the window.

Haha okay respectfully let's leave this conversaton here then :thumbup:

Yeah I hear you bro but you're gonna have to get over it, unforrtunately for you I'm not going to stop posting so looks like you just gotta accept my existance and warm to my incredible presence on this forum.
 
I'm not talking about these players, I'm talking about our recruitment,

We didn't buy a backp CB to push our injury prone CB's
We didn't but a backup LB
We didn't buy a competent/combative 6
We didn't buy any ready made wingers
Brought in a load of kids

This is after an poor injury record after our first season where we played 40 matches in all comps, a season with Euro competition what did we actually expect to happen?

We all got it wrong, recruitment, the manager, the fans.

Its the dual issue.

Club/Levy/Board underperformed massively

Manager underperformed massively

Normally we have had the likes of Redknapp, Conte or Pochettino to over perform the squad to compensate, not this time.

However the anger has mostly gone the chairman’s way this time as the club is living in Groundhog Day and the Jan window during an injury crisis was comical.

Despite that- which I agree with is a problem- there was actually a legit full squad he could have used, and decided not to. We have done unquestionably worse because he didn't know how to use all the pieces he already had access to.

Yeah 2 things can be true I agree with that.

What I find weird is folk willing to excuse the board for the first time ever just because they don't like or rate the manager, yeah I don't believe these people not one bit.

I think Ange is out of his depth, certainly with us anyway but he has a system which requires very specific pieces similar to Pep. He needs a Dominate DM, 2 proper wingers who can hold width and dribble. We don’t have that, it’s probably a mistake for this club to get a system manager even a good one as we don’t provide for it, club buys on financials (young or free or last year of contract etc) not in terms of fitting a way of playing.
 
You appear to have achieved very high levels of "rent-free" with Deuterz.

Not really. I'm not a fan of people who do some simpering apology on return then immediately go back to form after about 3 posts.

Acting like the fans were partially acceptable for January FFS. Most of this forum thought the Jan window was crap. You had a few people (like him!!!) who wanted to pretend the late panic shit and signing a 19 year old was good stuff, but it wasn't a consensus.

For sure I agree the club did not give him the pieces he would have ideally needed. I don't know that Ange even really asked for it though- certainly nothing he seems to have said much about publicly. I see in August this past year he said he felt we had enough. Now apparently he see things differently. 🙄

Levy really needs to learn to be more practical and conservative with these decisions. He's been shooting for the moon the last 3 times out and blown off his foot each time.

Lol. Hey- I didn't say I disagreed with you 😂
 
We shop for bargains and sell-on value, not for specific pieces, nor for top-drawer pieces. We aren't able to support "system" managers or "chequebook" managers. Levy and the board need to understand this and work with it.

I think I saw like two posters saying Jan was good and I could name them and nobody would be surprised.

Ultimately, fixing anything in a Jan window is always going to be plaster over gaping wound stuff. The best we ever did for it was Bentancur and Kulu because at least it was two more or less ready now players who went in to the XI even if long term people might debate their quality. That got us top 4.

The utter fucking stinking smouldering disgrace that was the summer window was the big smelly elephant shit left on the counter.
 
you really are the King of the pointless post. I have you on ignore for that very good reason, but this one has generated some responses from sensible people so I've weakened.

Last 10 matches, we've scored 12

Bit underwhelming, and.....

4 of those were against Ipswich who were in Div 1 a while back and will get relegated. They're conceding goals for fun.

2 against Bmouth were complete flukes. We'll probably go 5 seasons without getting that Sarr one again.

2 were useless ones at Everton when the game had been lost a long time earlier.

Not many left....

1 at Brentford was an oggie I think.

We really filled our boots v Leicester. Oh, only one. Losing to another team that'll be relegated.

You really are a plank. We'll beat Saints, but when EFC, Spam and Wolves overtake us we'll be in 17th place. Our worst season since 1976-77 and our own relegation. But you can't wait to point out that weve scored some goals.

You really are a numpty.
