Why, what skills has he got to deliver a stadium?
Are we just inventing roles for him to stay on when he really has no function here?

He shouldn’t be in a position to do his job. He’s failed miserably.

He should have been fired and not have his contract renewed.
It's as simple as that.
I defy anyone to show me how we have improved under any metric since he joined us.
He is about as much deadwood as some of the players he can't shift.

I can understand the James wage because we need to lure him here as he's a superstar, but the ones from relegated sides must of been on buttons 15-25k ish

Brands is an epic failure.
brought in to find young talented players.
told to shift the deadwood, struggles to give them away.

It won’t be long before Benitez is demanding that Brands is shifted out.

£256,000 a week, £13.4m saved. Less than Delph and [The White Elephant / Elephant in the Room] and Tosun combined.
Amazing work.

| Dominic Calvert-Lewin | £72,000 | £3,744,000 | 23 | AM (RL), ST (C) | England |
That is absolutely bonkers. He'd been tasked with bringing the wage budget down under £100m as per the Athletic. What a mess.
We pay £7m to a midfielder who is sadly completely broken (Gomes), £6m to Doucoure who looks totally lost in our midfield and came from a relegated side, £5m each to one of our worst ever signings (Iwobi) and Delph, the thinking man's goblin.
Gbamin on nearly £4m a year! Doesn't he have less than five league appearances?!?!
