The Horse's Mouth

Angeball will relegate them

Puel was the perfect appointment for us at that time, turgid dull and a boring appointment as we were stabilising in the league. He’s the last manager we’ve had that’s left us in a better position as well

Need to ban team orders again

Even if he wins it I’d be very shocked if he’s still the manager past the World Cup

There’s no such thing as a “false position” the table is the table and he left us in a position above the relegation zone. With your example in wolves they changed their manager and got better, whereas we did the opposite. Continuing with the same PPG and then pointing at two teams that drastically improved their PPG is a weak argument. Im no fan of cooper either, but he inherited a mess where we were hamstrung by financial mismanagement and lost our best player, he wasn’t here long enough to make a sufficient impact either way so I don’t really consider him in the chat tbh

He didn’t destroy what enzo had built it was pretty much proven that season that team had a soft underbelly because the vast majority of them got relegated before anyway. We also lost our best player in that time. 35 million wasn’t enough to invest into the team and survive.He objectively did though, he didn’t leave us in a situation like Martin left saints in, we were outside the relegation zone. Those “better” players that were isolated that came back in played a crucial part in us breaking records when it came to not winning and not scoring, so in hindsight he was probably right in that regard. Honestly I think you could actually make a better argument for Sven being worse than cooper, who systematically ripped up everything Nige at built with that team and bringing in old ***** on big money which severely ****ed us with ffp for the years going forward. The only reason we don’t really look at it like that is because Nige actually fixed the club afterwards

Cooper was in charge for 10 games and left us in 17th, there’s not much there to consider him the worst with the other competition.

You don’t because that’s simply disingenuous, you have to take the good with the bad which is why his 18 months has countered weighted the conversation of him being amongst the niges, gillies, oneill .etc. and also why he’s not in the camp of a Holloway who took us to our lowest position in our clubs history I think people put a lot of the destruction too much on him as well and I say that as someone who was an ardent rodgers outer for a long time. the way the club is run hasn’t changed since he left, instead of Bertrand on 70k we’d putting coady on 100k. The financial mismanagement and the recruitment is largely part of the downfall, you can talk about how shit his tactics were towards the end which I would concur with, but at the end of the day our back line was ward faes and amartey I wasn’t using it as a direct example, it’s just a case of how the logic is flawed. You have to take everything together to judge an overall performance.

I understand the point it’s just moronic though, he achieved two top 5 finishes and an fa cup. And you’re talking about him amongst the likes of Holloway for partaking in our relegation season. That flawed logic you’re using could be used to argue Brian clough is forests worst manager

It’s probably more unpopular now

Reform actually took a more trans minded view on this recently than Labour did so I’m not quite sure that really stacks up. The trans issue hasn’t really been a political hot potato for a good few years now

Always thought the narrative around Reid was harsh just because the deal was so shite. He had a few spells last season, I think he’ll be a good asset at this level

People saying rodgers are genuinely mental . I started in the levein era, for me it’s only two candidates in Ruud and Holloway. And I think ruud edges it in the fact that the season was over within a month despite taken over in a reasonably strong position.

I actually wouldn’t mind more sprints if it meant they shortened the calendar

I’ve kept an eye on linehan for a long time now, just because I quite enjoyed watching the car crash around him initially. I think he’s genuinely somewhat on the spectrum, and he does really crave the adulation and I do feel a bit sorry for him, as I do think he comes into it from the right place and there is serious questions around the trans movement. A lot of the lawsuits he’s found himself in really opened up my eyes in particular on how ****ed our actual system is As for this, it’s ridiculous I don’t know how you can really defend it tbh. Really does show how batshit the country has gone really

The pint looks proper smart because of the lack of sponsor, the home does look a bit weird though

I don’t really get why it’s rattled that many people tbh, he wasn’t that good for us and if we’re being honest facundo had a better impact albeit short lived when ruud come. He admittedly would’ve been a good cheat code at this level, but I just don’t give a toss really

We didn’t sign them to play in the u21s did we

We’ve cleared out a lot of shit, so I’d put it at a 7. I’m not convinced by the striker and I think that’ll be the main thorn in our side this season

We kept tielemans when his head had been turned and he proceeded to be one of our worst players while putting on 6 stone.

Villa did follow similarly in our footsteps, ain’t they spending 98% of their revenue on player wages

The goat still breaking records

Looks shite on paper but it’s worth a punt he can’t be worse than ayew in the 9… surely?

Norris

I actually love that move yano, just shows he just wants to play. Luca Toni was like 105 when he got golden boot there so who knows
