The point is, if you are going to ‘shoehorn’ Stephen’s into the team, then not at the expense of breaking up our best CB pairing. He is better than Manning, so put him there.
Ummm, yes you can. They just agree to implement a system in say, six years time. It will give all clubs world wide to get their heads around it. Most employers decide how much they pay their employees. If they want to pay their top end players, top wages, then they will have to have some low wage players in there as well.
Lower wages, lower transfer fees, simple, works in other sports and countries. Set a wage limit, then set a limit each club can spend. I know the Aleague is championship standard, but it works for them. The football authorities need to act now, as you said, the tipping point is here.
The issue with this manager and previous, is simple. Football is simple, played it, coached it, and reffed and watched it all my life (apart from when I was a baby, obviously), but these recent managers look to be trying to re-invent the wheel, with all these ‘systems’, just play football, it’s simple.
