Yes this season in particular, when you consider the amount of injuries we’ve had, since the very start of the season, let alone in Jan.
Thats not even taking into consideration, not replacing the players, we’ve sold in between then.
It’s genuinely baffling & that Jan window especially, could haunt us for a long long time, should we go down.
Would you honestly miss any of them? If we do go down, they'll cull most of the squad, it's far too expensive to be in the Championship.
Do that & we will never bounce straight back. There are 10 matches left, nothing ENIC or Lange or Vinai can do will alter our fate. It is down to the Managers & players. The incentive to the Manager apart from the no doubt massive bonus for keeping us up is the success will get him a new job. There has to be a downside for the players in relegation. Some will stay & instead of playing in the CL will play in the championship. If they cannot or will not perform in the championship then they will put their international place at risk.
ENIC, Lange & Vinai’s future should be shelved until our immediate future is determined.
Are they banking on having most of the ST holders renewing at full price.
Beyond that, the only remaining seats that are tied to a captive market should be the corporate boxes that are locked in to long term contracts.
They can hire a 40 year old Alex Ferguson, it wont matter. Not unless they show some ambition in wages and transfers.
Oh look a tweet
That’ll teach the players & agents to agreeing to that in their contracts & definitely won’t make them hand in a transfer request
If true of course
Let’s just hope we don’t go down to see who is correct here
What a shitshow of a season and Lewis Family share a lot of the blame.
They fired Ange and hired Frank and got that appointment wrong.
This is obvious in hindsight, but if the Lewis family knew it wanted to oust Daniel Levy from running the club, then Ange should of stayed on as Manager to provide some stability to the club.
The instability with Levy leaving certainty made things hard from the start for a new manager. And he wasn't really backed in the market for player transfers in January.
Now we are fighting relegation putting all our hopes on a foreign manager with no previous EPL experience to get us out of a mess, largely this board has caused.
Its time for Lewis family to sell up and let a new owner take over. The current regime are not competent.

Players are under contract. They dont really hold any power here. Let's hope we dont have to find out, but we will be the ones who decide who stays or goes. Not the players or their agents.
Yup shows you what a joke Lange and Vinai are. Levy putperformed then on every metric and even had relegation insurance in place when relegation was virtually impossible. Its very possible now and Lange and Vinai didn't even put in clauses. Absolute spoofersDoes this mean that if we go down, Gallagher will be over twice the best paid player?
Dougie Freedman is currently at a 2nd tier saudi side (Al-Diriyah). You might wonder who exactly he's going to even be able to sign for such a club.
This guy
We have 8 international players , 10 if you include Richie and Davies . You think they’ll be happy with Championship footie ? Not only would it potentially destroy their international careers but reduce their value
Anyways we’ll beat Palace and this won’t be an immediate issue
Lookman went for 35 million euro and Bobb for 31 mil according to transfermarkt.
I could easily see City string us along for Bobb like they did with Savinho since they seem petty over not selling them Kane but Lookman would definitely have been doable.
Bob £27m
Lookman £35m
Basically those two for one Richarlison or what we paid for Johnson & Souza
Because there are only so many jobs in pro sports. Fans work for rival teams all the time so it isn't really that big a deal. We have Tottenham fans working for Woolwich and West Ham without a doubt.
Realistically, no one is going to take a job at a rival team to that which they support and start sabotaging. The only one that you sabotage at that point is yourself because you are never going to work in the field again if/when caught. People just like to bleat about Vinai being ex-Woolwich to create a reason for why we are doing badly when the matter of fact isn't that we are where we are because he is ex-Woolwich. He's just incompetent for the role that he has found himself in.
One of my childhood friends is the head of sponsorships/sales for a big Swedish hockey club, but he's also a childhood fan of the team's fiercest rival (think Newcastle vs Sunderland). I've asked him about it and he just leaves his fandom at home when he goes to work because if there's even a hint of him doing a bad job because of his fan loyalty he's never going to work in pro sports again.

Makes no sense to see the club sinking toward relegation and think yeah Connor Gallagher will do it
