Were they fighting for the manager? Or were they playing the exact same as they had all season, the manager just finally landed on the solution 6 months too late.Does actually matter who we get now?
The players for the first time in a long while at this club were fighting for the manager things started to settle a bit and one more season of stability wouldn’t have hurt us at all.
Now we go back to square one and the players now have to learn a new system, new manager, new training methods etc.
If we are top 8 in December this year I would be shocked but surprised.
I remember having a chat with a bookie years ago about transfer odds, he reckoned there was so little actually bet on them that a decent amount threw at a bet can move the market massively.True, but they set odds to ensure they do not lose money. There is a LOT of insider dealing in football, so it means a lot of people have their money on McKenna already.
Just to back this up, Evening Standard literally just ran this quote:I remember having a chat with a bookie years ago about transfer odds, he reckoned there was so little actually bet on them that a decent amount threw at a bet can move the market massively.
You mean someone like Reece James and then that frees up space to start Gusto too??? Hire him now.I'd be happy if we got Amorim tbh. He has that aura where I can just see him being a big success.
System could be an issue, as I think we would need a pacy centre back that can also step into midfield, maybe someone like Todibo, and I think left wing back we would need a bring in quality too, unless we can keep Maatsen, which is unlikely as I'm sure we will have to sell Maatsen, Gallagher, and Chalobah anyway.
Rest of the team i see working pretty well, although could be the end for the wingers in the squad if they cant adapt to playing more as inside forwards, not a big problem for me as, our best attackers are Palmer and Nkunku, and we have Paez and Estavao coming in, who all can operate as inside forwards/10's.
Probably end up with Thomas Frank though, since we got his set piece coach too....![]()
Goes to show how a surge of bets can change the market. Jose as a yes man? Lmao.
That's what I thought! Ain't no way he's coming back while Clownlake are running things!Goes to show how a surge of bets can change the market. Jose as a yes man? Lmao.
Definitely Amorim gor me,but what I Definitely want to see is the coach not just sitting down with his arms crossed,I like a coach who isn't afraid of bollocking players from the touch line.I'd be happy if we got Amorim tbh. He has that aura where I can just see him being a big success.

Yeah could work, although all the little tactical breakdown videos I've seen to make me an expertYou mean someone like Reece James and then that frees up space to start Gusto too??? Hire him now.
Mudryk, Madueke, Cucurella, and Disasi would be redundant in Amorim's football.
