Management What is more important at the start of the season. Who we buy and sell - or who the manager is?

The manager is always the most important person at the club.
Redemption arc activated.
If that's the case then why are they always the first one to get sacked when it all goes tits up?
I think we'll be fine whether it's Ange or Frank. Managers come and go.
Investment in the playing squad is critical. We can't go into the new season without any extra squad depth. Frank will work with whatever he's got but we need a reliable second string to cope with the extra fixtures and to remain competitive in all competitions. With our existing playing squad, we won't be competitive in any of them.
Players to fit in with existing 4-3-3 will be fine. Frank will just be Angeball with a bit of defensive organisation.
So, I'm going to go for players. I don't think there is anyone we desperately need to offload - just a few extra faces to share the load.

It still all goes to shit without a proper manager.
Of course; there are rare exceptions such as Chavs/DiMateo... They had a core of players there so long that they were able to run shit for a few big matches.
Transfers. With our under invested, under experienced, threadbare thin squad as it is we're in for another struggle next season whoever the manager is.
Obviously, getting rid of Solanke is top of the list.
I love him
Don't know is not voting.
You could put the same - but it would be very unlikely choice.
Agree.
Get the kind of quality players that a club our size (i.e MASSIVE) should be able to attract and afford (We are rich as fuck), and any decent manager will get a tune out of them.
Exhibit a) Liverpool
We all don't know.
Yes, but not all of us know that we don't know. Some of us think we know, don't they?
The original Don.Yes, but not all of us know that we don't know. Some of us think we know, don't they?
The owner/chairman!
