Were struggling already. Youve got to laugh.

I think we’re fine with them two, but if they get injured…

Are some people on this thread posting from a part of the world that is three weeks behind everyone else?

 

[Verbal Kint]

Usual bed wetting in full flow.....

 

[chippy1722]

The whole PSR was perfect for this fella, means he had to work even less. It means that he only has two work 2 weekends a year.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Dyche deciding to quit and Moyes only having eyes for us has bailed this no mark out so much. Another failure of a window

Scratches his arse and sniffs his fingers afterwards.

Serious question, is that NOT normal?

 

[JLW]

Serious question, is that NOT normal?

Not for 31 days its not

He can do that tomorrow

 

[Lob]

Last window from this bell thankfully.

 

[Marius57]

Think its well known, no?

Cant tell if youre serious. The owners went for premier league proven.

I hadn’t seen that. Not sure why it would make anyone not be serious about it considering it’s his job to purchase players so can assume he.dod so.

Seems strange that he was allowed to spend most of the avilable money that season on Onana with no PL experience, and to then allow him to buy Beto and Chermiti for most of the money available just a year later with no PL experience.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Literally no reason not to stick him on garden leave and replace him from tomorrow. If he is not getting a new contract, which he isn’t, then he has no further responsibilities.

We aren’t going to need a new manager before summer (and if we didn’t he shouldn’t pick), he should have zero involvement in lining up purchases for summer, and he shouldn’t be involved in negotiating contract extensions for Gana etc.

Hard to to judge him. He’s had a very tough gig. Thought he might be onto something when he started communicating with the fanbase via little club updates. Didn’t keep it up though. Same as all other promises of communication, through some very weird times. Lip service.

Overriding impression…

 

[samcdavies94]

Brought in some good players, brought in some duds - as all DOFs will, a perfect hit rate over three years is basically impossible - but, for me, it's what he hasn't done that's the issue.

There's been a need for many years to address the full back areas, and we've not come close to doing it. And the failure to bring in pace in the wide areas is unforgiveable. It's been one of the squad's biggest limitations ever since he got here.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Scratches his arse and sniffs his fingers afterwards.

Scratches is arse with his nose and sniffs it while he's down there.

 

[Marius57]

Was in the Athletic that Kenwright, Moshiri and Lampard wanted Premiership experience.

Fair enough. It’s one of those that people used to throw at brands as a negative about him not being able to do his job because he got overruled etc (as if it was his fault and he should have walked rather than taking the wage etc) whereas it seems to be excused for Thelwell.

If we are sticking with the DoF model then owners need to let them get on with it.

Can’t wait to see the back of this cowboy
