Between him & Vinai; they were the minds that caused countless people to start saying "we should do what the scum are doing" (the clearout of PEA, Ozil, Lacazette, Pepe, Willian etc... the emphasis on the academy..... the complete punt on an entirely unqualified manager)....... The minds that spearheaded the whole Arteta project.

Just out of principle I would never want to model ourselves upon them (and understand to a degree the default hostility towards VV); but clearly the 'X happened there so it will happen again here' mantra is nothing to be relied upon.

.......We need to hire and fire accord to what/whom we have assessed to be a good fit for US.



Is he though? Or is he just being made a scapegoat by the Greek?

He went in and upset Nuno didn’t he, signing players he didn’t want. Most of which haven’t kicked a ball for him or Dyche.
 
He’s turning into a right prick. Posting everything negative as he possibly can. Bizarre behaviour for a supposed fan.
he is doing the gary ratface tactics
negative posting creates more views and comments
and i hate it , hear in Switzerland the online news papers even went so low that they make false
articles/statements or spelling mistakes cuz they found out that it gets more view and more ppl comments

So bentancur in the green?
 
But we're a wealthier club playing in a much wealthier league. So if we had serious owners, that shouldn't be a problem
And that’s why we pay our players €2.9m as opposed to them paying their players €1.63m.
For those of us who aren’t challenged by numbers, we can see that the figure starting with a ‘2’ is considerably higher than the number starting with a ‘1’ which reflects our greater wealth.

Also when you think about Bilbao’s payroll, try to think of a cherry pie and how some people like big slices of that pie and what it leaves. I’ll try to explain the term ‘distribution’ in my next lesson.
 
If we can obtain a generous fee for Moore, we should let him go. I've been watching him in the SPL this year. Despite his rare goal at the weekend , there haven't been many positive indications he can make it as a top flight player.

Verdict: sell while he has perceived value
