Is that guy drinking a bottle of Pimms?
No it's not...even the dogs in the street know that the Revolution unified France and enhanced the power of the national state. The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars tore down the ancient structure of Europe, hastened the advent of nationalism, and inaugurated the era of modern, total warfare....What a great line and so true.
Big challenge for Paratici in the next couple weeks, let's see how he does.
Yes theyve developed the business side!ie property etc. Not the football side ie Investing in squadNot really. Do you know how much wealthier and healthier our bottom line would be if we'd invested property during the Poch era, and won some EPL titles, FA cups, and a CL? And then reinvested that money to having a squad going toe to toe with Chelsea instead of getting destroyed in a semi?
I always thought stability was to keep something the same, level, as is.I’ve seen that word before , what does it mean?
Hmmmnnnnn I think i'm starting to suss this bloke out.
Paratici really has this guy buttered up, he hasn't a bad word to say about our prospects or transfer strategy. Bit of an Alasdair Gold vibe, in that you can trust what news he'll have about the club to a point, but it will be the message that the club wants you to hear. I think we're one of the few clubs that Romano actually hears some legit noise from, most of his stuff is just aggregation from other reporters.
Barcelona and Milan are a damn sight easier than Kazakhstan on a Thursday
In hindsight, it’s a godsend we are out bearing in mind we already have four PL games to schedule. Agreed?Such an away match might happen once in the early stages...... It's not big deal after the group stages.
This just isn't true. If none of them contribute to that position.if we arrive 4th in the table everyone of them
Sack this snake oil salesman.
Why the fuck are we even putting in official bids for players that have no interest in coming here?
Amateur hour
Is odd, we had Pau Torres then Kounde with the Sanchez swap. Agreed with both clubs and then players turned us down, you’d think you would agree with the players agent then agree with the club.
Technically you aren't allowed to talk to a player or his representatives until you've had permission from the club, and that permission is usually only given when you've made a sufficient offer. But we all know teams still do it. They think that if they have the player & his agents on side first, they'll be able to pressure the club into selling, maybe even cheaperAren't we over thinking this?
Surely you sound out the players agent beforehand and ask "we are going to put an official bid in on x date, is your player interested in principle to talk to us" that way we don't waste time putting in official bids only to be told the player has no interest whatsoever in joining us.
Then we move onto the next one, less wasted time and the club don't look like amateurs.
Levy is obviously to blame.Right, lets get this straight. There's ONE person to blame for all this, and it ain't Fabio 'fall guy' Paratici.
If you blame anyone except Levy, I will fart down your throat.
Okay, enjoy the transfer windowThat's not a fact, that's an opinion.
I doubt our current status as a club is particularly helpful in pulling off such a tactic either, we're hardly such a dream destination that anyone would hang around waiting for us to make our minds up, if anything it seems it would be more likely to insult a target.His supposed "line 'em all up then pick off your targets at will" approach seems to be more hassle than it's worth.
Unless we're talking HG or overall squad numbers, I don't see why TN, GLC & Dele should stand in the way of us getting one or two deals done......
