Ligue 1 is a higher standard to the Championship

Oh ok… so 2 out of three that havn’t achieved anything

Nevermind Ive just seen, Lampard, a guy thats *checks notes* not achieved anything either

Who would you rather ?

Unfortunately Im well aware of MLGs MO Shame on me for continuing to be drawn in by it

Fair point 😂

Im not against Will Still, I think he’s a good progressive manager and, tbh, has a far superior CV to Rohl But personally, because of how vital it is to be promoted and, once there, pragmatically stay in the prem, I would have personally probably preferred Cooper But it is what it is… Rohl’s insistence to wait for a bigger job, unless he’s been sounded out already, feels a bit odd

Are we at the stage now where we’re going to blame RA for every wrong decision and someone else for the right ones ?

Things are always vague to protect sources But I can tell you it was part if the reason for Delap moving to Ipswich and why we almost lost out on Downes

Talking of deafening I see you completely ignored my post pertaining to the fact Parsons was directly implicated in being obstructive to our summer transfer business Tbh though, ive been on this forum for probably best part of 20 years, quite how the mods allow you to consistently derail basically every thread is beyond me

I can’t see Leipzig going for a relatively untested championship manager

A significant chunk went to SSEN in order to underground the overhead infrastructure that was originally in place

I dunno I think he’s a good coach, with a worthy philosophy, someone will take him on I don’t think we’d of stayed up but think if we had a good footballing DoF putting in the correct checks and balances we’d of made better transfer decisions as well as maybe stopping a lot of Martins stubbornness around his way of play He’ll certainly have admirers but Id suggests he’s the sort of manager you ultimately need a strong squad, relative to the competition, for him to thrive

For some reason my reply didn’t send yesterday… Basically Bitcon is now the sort of, performance side director, so sports sciences, medicine side, analytics overview etc, allowing Spoors to develop the side you’d expect from a DoF He DID step closer into a DoF role, alongside Parsons when Wilcox left, with Rasmus acting as a sort of strategic overview… Rasmus’ role was already watered down once Wilcox joined, and he now spearheads overall multiclub strategy (alongside bitcon) and also is president of Goztepe… I believe he also stepped into the void left when Wilcox went, and has again stepped out of it No idea who made the overall decision to not replace Wilcox, but it was a poor one

Well.. for one its been stated he was the point of contact for transfer negotiations and its been heavily hinted that his obstructive nature was a big reason why we missed out on some of our bigger targets, for instance, Liam Delap Now.. he’s done ok commercially so I wouldn’t necessarily want to see him gone, but I would have no issues seeing Bitcon (director if football operations) depart

Pretty much still applies Bloke cannot mark to save his life

Did they have tapas ?

There are always outliers mate

FWIW… I think Ive of sacked Lucy Powell Labour just keep giving Reform/Tories too much ammo

We also decided it was time we adopted a tactical style that was going out of ‘fashion’ Teams understand how to play against it now unfortunately

There is.. to an extent… although I agree we’d never been competitive enough to survive, thats evidenced from the fact all three promoted sides were so bad But we just needed more pragmatism really, from day one. If we had pragmatism and a decent striker we’d of atleast not embarrassed ourselves imo I still maintain if we had a decent DoF with the backbone to tell Russell he can play his system but he has to be stronger defensively first, we might even have been ok… although transfer strategy was also horrendous

My Toyota now has a driver attention alarm you can’t turn off… if you’re not looking forward it alarms after 2 seconds Utter woke nonsense

When you order tapas, and the dishes come out with odd numbers of food Just give us two or four bits you twats, why three ?

Not really read through the thread at any real purpose, but I do know ASD is pretty much something you are genetically born with, or at most develops within the first year, its more prevalent these days as diagnosis of all spectrum disorders was started at higher degrees in the late 90s So conflating ASD and ADHD is a tad unfair As for ADHD, I do think it must be diet related, probably a long with a ton of stomach related issues that seem to be more prevalent these days Edit - My missus is a Speech Therapist and trained in ASD, including diagnosis.. apparently the delay in diagnosis is because you need two seperate practices, like Psychology and Speech Therapy to do a joint diagnosis which is why it taies so long… and Women are able to live with it/hide it better which means it becomes apparent later childhood, young adulthood

I guess they can’t really tackle the brexit issue, because they aren’t tackling any of the concerns from centrists, right floating voters at all I agree it has to be addressed, it was and continues to be economic suicide, made worse by impending US isolationism, but it’ll just be another easy narrative for the right to use Labour were correct to tackle the big issues early… but my god, winter fuel, farmers taxes, failing to address Southport effectively and now disability allowances, as well as just letting the immigration conversation fester…. Farage has never had it so easy to push his interests
