2020/21 Marcel Brands

[BlueStevie35]

Hope he hated the heat in Miami on his holiday with the team when he could have been doing his job and looking for a RB that we've needed for over 2 years to replace Coleman

He did, we just can’t get the deal done because of restrictions

I’m not the biggest fan of him but Jesus it’s tedious how people still think he does absolutely nothing just because they aren’t privy to his daily schedule

Maybe he could have sold Kenny to Schalke when we had the chance knowing full well he wasn't good enough for the Prem then we'd have the money to buy someone right ?

He's failed here. There's no getting away from that.

He's overseen a catastrophe.

They didn’t come back in for him after the loan?

I thought they did but we wanted more than they would offer

From memory Schalke wanted to loan him again, Everton wanted a permanent deal and that was the end of that.

Ah so not Brand’s fault a club being cheapskates

There are probably better cases to bring against Brands than this one, for sure.

Because our asking price was too high

The prosecution would like to call Alex Iwobi to the stand.

Clyne, Iwobi, Townsend, Gray, Rondon, Begovic.

Incredible strategist. Alexander the Great of technical directors, this guy.

He should be embarrassed at the state of things after 3 full years at the club. Might be doing good stuff at academy level, I don’t know but in terms of first team transfers…

How can he attend board meetings and look anyone there in the eye when the subject of the first team squad and recruitment comes up. Free pass for the Steve Walsh fallout is long gone, we’re all looking at you now Marcel…and it ain’t a pretty sight.

Iwobi and Delph come easily to mind.

I'm sure Monaco fans think the same with Sidibie. If there is no obligation to buy, then there is... Well, no obligation to buy.

Asking price is too high when we don't sell, didn't get enough for them when we do. Or if we do, we shouldnt have sold them.

Whatever happens, he literally can't win. And not through any fault of his own, but because people who don't have a clue what goes on behind the scenes assume they do because of what trolls and so called journalists say on twitter.
