ENIC

How we did not do more in Jan window was poor from ENIC. Oh well. Dinner will not be spoiled I’m numb to this club now. Took a while.

I find it wild that with our injuries there were not even a couple of loans available for us. We’ve got 4 or 5 teenagers on the bench with barely any premier league minutes between them, how can it be no one is available off someone else’s bench in a World Cup year till summer.

have to take squad registration into consideration, are we getting a better player back from injury soon that we would have to take out to free the space

The more I look at this season, the more I find the complete chaos and lack of leadership at boardroom level to be damning (and I wasn't exactly quiet or unaware to start with!).

This managerial change is a fine example. Had they bothered to listen to Paratici, we'd have made the obvious move right as the January window was starting and allowed Tudor the chance to get a couple of short-term loanees in to help steer through the season. Instead, we wait until 2 weeks after the window has shut to make this move. Pathetic!!!! We effectively semi-f uck two managers; Frank and Tudor. Fools!

What is crazy to me is Lange coming out and saying that the next manager has to play more attractive football. I appreciate him actually fronting up publicly but this is just crazy to me.

You make a big thing of the fact that as a club you interviewed 30 people, against ten criteria, and Frank was the clear stand out. Then you stick by him despite disastrous form and seemingly no buy in from the players. And you wait until after the transfer window to make a change, so until 2 weeks ago you’re still pretty sure that this guy is the right guy.

And now he’s gone it’s all ‘we need to play more attractive football’ again?? What on earth was going on in that boardroom.

I would've thought attractive style of football would be near the top of the criteria when selecting Frank and not just for the next guy.

fudging absolute amateur hour. I still think we won’t go down but it is a distinct possibility. If we do, we’ll be the gold standard in case studies of how incompetence outweighed vast resources to result in catastrophic unachievement.

All things being equal, the way we’ve been run, we deserve to go down.

See in most cases I’d say probably not. I don’t think Maddison or Kukusevski are back this season with all the set backs they seem to get.

I think there must have been a player on loan who could have added something. I honestly think the owners and board still feel there’s no chance of us going down.

You’d think so wouldn’t you?

And then Frank talking about ‘adding layers’ in his press conferences. Was this the same like he gave the board in his interviews? It’s either gaslighting. Or him thinking he’s being clever by fobbing off reasonable questions about style with some phrase that doesn’t really mean anything.
