2019/20 Marcel Brands

[Blue 1]

Never liked the Director of Football model, didn't think it would work here and it seems sadly my feeling were correct.

 

[Connor]

Ah mate, he better sort this out

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

One thing is for certain, the hero worship he’s enjoyed from some has to end now

Yes, some never gave him a chance and they’re just as bad, but there’s been a shocking lack of balance or nuance on this topic

Time for that to end so that we can finally give him a fair appraisal without the warring factions ruining it for the rest of us

 

[Lelouch]

Not sure how you fix this mess but good luck.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

This summer coming up will be the true acid test for him. He's got an elite manager there he needs to provide the proper level of support in the market to.

 

[Neiler]

Excuses running thin for this fella.

Short at centre back, short in midfield, short on the flanks, can’t score.

Here three years, onto his 6th window, overtaken by Burnley, Sheffield Utd, Wolves, getting worse.

 

[AmericasToffee]

Not sure how you fix this mess but good luck.

He's not on the right track so far.

 

[kenada_blue]

He has to make moves quick and have transfers lined up. There'll be no time to fart about when next season starts

Good luck with that Mikey.

With a name like Marcel Brands, you’d think he’d be the best bargain shopper around.

Early days but looking at the £100m+ he spent in the last window...

Makes my eyes bleed.

Mina, Gomes and Iwobi alone.

My word.

Lets be honest he should have been sacked after spending 34m on Alex Iwobi.

Im gonna be honest I did have a few doubts at that point.

 

[edge]

big pre seaon for him more of the same and he will be at walsh level of being a waste of time and money.

That was the moment for me.

I was unsure on his appointment given his Eredivisie background.

But I got right behind him, every benefit of doubt but after Iwobi - big alarm bells. If it was Iwobi or nobody, nobody was the answer. I said it at the time on here.

Still, early days so we shouldn't jump on him too much. But if I was Moshiri, would I give him another £100m to spend? (even if we're allowed to spend it?) I think I'd be inclined to ask Ancelotti to draw up the list first, before Brands.
