    Agreed, and yes you get it :-) Indeed, he'd have been a useful player for us especially when Bentacur and Sarr were injured, in need of rest and rotation.

    As I've said for weeks, I think it's been done for sometime. I would question 'access to a superb squad' given that on the eve of his first season in charge he had to deal with a 25-30 goal a season world class generational talent striker on whose goals we'd been dining for a long time leaving...

    My friend...I don't think there was anything to 'pick up' one. It is absolutely clear that he feels he is on his way, that he had not been given the courtesy of any hint of information, and that he was using the post-win press. He would absolutely have been involved in squad discussions from...

    Right. Because you don't actually know! How hard is to admit that you don't actually know?!!!!! Very it appears... Here's the most salient potential fact of all; this entire exchange will have been a waste of time by this day next week!!!!!

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    Frank is the safest choice. And given that's what we are apparently interested in it appears, then he is the best suited.

    At least 100 of those pages have been the endless tedium of the likes of you and me going back and forth trying to reinforce 'points' we both held back in February.

    How do you know that? You don't. They are opinions you might disagree with, but unless you have the crystal ball of all-time, you're sinmply stating an opinion of your own and no more than that.

    He has rarely, if ever, complained about the club structure and direction. In fact, he has spent more time defending the club than any manager since Poch. Certainly more than those two 'winners' we hirted, who essentially made sure to put a moat between them and the club from the get-go. Your...

    ...as in, "Here are your options, these are the ones we can close, which works?" After a transfer committee has worked in the targets/salaries, etc. One example as the story goes. Tapsoba v Van De Ven; the committee wanted Tapsoba but Ange insisted on VdV and got his man. Of course both players...

    Mate, I've given my POV on the earlier part of your post. With regards to the boldface... ...there's a side of me that has always felt he could make it work next season with all the accumulated experiences. I think the question is moot because had we lost he would've been sacked the day...

    I disagree. Different language for the same outcome. I'll give you the Poch era...he was offered Sissoko at the end of the window. If he'd have flat-out refused him, we'd have been down a player inthe squad. Sissoko would've been on a list from the outshot. Essentially, that list would've had...

    All our managers have had 'final say'. That does not mean they have always got close to their first choices. I feel confident saying there is a list with preferences in order, that list is evaluated by the committee, and the edited/updated options are presented to the manager. Even Conte...

    Fair point. I suppose I was juxtaposing them against the Messi/Neymar/Mbappe trio, however your point stands for sure!
