Bad recruitment

Yeah they’re not exclusive but they’re definitely not like a normal company Sporting success is the ultimate end goal, that breeds the business side, which helps sporting success, which helps the business and so on No sporting success, no fans, no business Bit of extremism there but pretty much how it goes I’d say

Plastic goat isn’t far off tbf The goal for a company is to make money and the trendy fads a lot of companies hypocritically hop on are ultimately just for the benefit of their share price The goal for a footy club isn’t to make money it’s to win trophies (sporting success) which do have a monetary reward but it’s a lot less than what you spend to win it generally

Replacing Azaz?

Softening the blow What I think as well Drag it out to get more on board with it, you can already see it’s had that effect with plenty on here It’s not a ‘blow’ obviously but not the name many wanted so

Is it true Sheff Wed players can walk away from their contracts if not paid next week? The keeper Charles, Valery, Gassama, Musaba, Windass, Cadamarteri all improve our 11 or squad

Gilchrist would be an ideal RCB but doubt he’d come to us

Giles was a young talent killed by Rob Edwards!!

A more pragmatic system arguably would’ve seen Rogers on the bench in favour of a runner or not signed at all

Has gone to Pompey Any good?

If Edwards doesn’t deliver then Scott hasn’t delivered and we rightly should get rid Because Boro are new to the DoF model a lot of our fans struggle to comprehend that DoFs can be changed just like a manager We don’t have to give up the idea of buying low and selling high, Scott didn’t invent this. We’ll just find someone better

His ppg over 46 games has them finishing 24th mind Hopefully it’ll work in our favour having Edwards and Watling desperate to leave no stone unturned in succeeding with us after their recent failures

Just empty words from the club that same as the ‘same transfer targets’ garbage I’ve noticed when Edwards has a full summer before a championship season he starts off having the ball more than the other team…and it doesn’t really work 54% odd at Watford and less than 1 xG and several games in the first 7/8 at Luton last season with similar possession stats before reverting to his mid-late 40s ball when it didn’t work I think that’s how Rob wants to play but the results don’t come with it unlike when he ‘presses as opposed to playing’ I can see us doing the same, trying to play rather than copy what worked at Luton, but Robs fresh off a sacking and Scott’s neck is on the line…if we try play and it doesn’t work I guarantee Rob will want us to emulate Luton and Scott will compromise in Jan to save his skin getting him presumably the more physical robust players that he’s had the most success with Basically if we don’t start well (Christmas) I predict it’ll all be out the window in favour of results for self preservation which is the thing that worries me most about the appointment

I don’t think people dispute that wingback systems can be good They were all the rage for a long time but hopefully PSG’s annihilation of Inter is the beginning of their end For me I just find them boring on and off the pitch, being linked to wingbacks and wide CBs bores me. I prefer being linked with, discussing and watching wingers, attacking midfielders, midfield generals With 5 atb we know that a decent chunk of our budget will be going on the wingbacks necessary to make the system work cos they’re so vital and that’s just boring…to me anyways

Is £10m the price for Kone? 😳
