    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    I think you know I have been as accepting of the injury / fatigue conversation as anyone. It is totally legitimate. We did have a crazy season with injuries and had we finished lower mid-table then I sort of get it. We finished 17th on 38 points. I think it is worth remembering that even though...

    Nah, you said "guaranteed 25-30 goals" and then built a narrative around him always getting that if he didn't have injuries. I simply stated that he only got it twice in 6 years because of injuries and that is a reason why it is not guaranteed. It's a reality of being a footballer, especially in...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    I guess what league finish would have been acceptable? A EL trophy and 8th would have been digested a lot better whereas finishing 17th clearly hasn't (including me). So a EL win and 10th place in my mind would see no questions to Ange's job. Statistically, that would have meant getting 18 more...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    It sort of makes me chuckle that people are trying to make Spurs discarding the league a good strategy even though for decades the teams at the top have mostly won all the trophies on offer. Even this season, Chelsea and Saudi Sportswashing Machine picked up a trophy AND CL football by league finish. Even Palace...

    Levy stepping down rumour

    I can imagine he'd start preaching to GHod and acting as if he knows more about heaven than him.

    Levy stepping down rumour

    In your mind is that $3b+ what you pay and you have to own the $1b debt as well?

    Chris Davies' backroom staff at Birmingham City includes Ben Petty as Assistant Manager, Nathan Gardiner as First-Team Assistant Coach, and Tom Huddlestone as Assistant Manager. Additionally, Jonathan Grounds is part of the staff, serving as a link between the under-21s and the first team...

    What I'd also say is that Frank is evens and Ange is 6:4 with the bookies. That tells you they haven't got a Scooby what is going on.

    Or do we just need to get better at recruitment so we don't have to.

    I'm going on record right now as saying that I will back the club either way. I've put myself in their shoes and it's a tough call I wouldn't want to make myself. I will respect them for treating the EL win as business as usual and aspiring higher. After all, we were season long favourites. I...

    "But for the injuries" just strengthens my point. You can't discard the 1's and 5's out of your darts average and only measure your average on the 20's and treble 20's only. Such a flawed argument statistically to call an argument without factoring in the injuries that actually happened. It's...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    I think the right comparative for Ange is probably Howe, Maresca or Emery. It's not Slot, Pep or Arteta as they have been dealt a slightly better hand of cards. I know Chelsea have spent a lot but their young squad has needed a lot of nurturing and Poch took it until the end of last season...

    Squad

    Yep, ditto Poch. He had just one, Lloris who we all thought would jump ship. Then you blink and there's a team full of them.

    lol - I can't even remember last week Now you recall, I did look it up. Their first win of the season, lifting them out of the relegation zone. Dr Tottenham and all that.

    Yeah, which is fine as long as the PL squad is the bigger one. Did Chelsea have UEFA only registrations that weren't in the PL squad?

    Ah, the above makes sense now Did that early season form coincide with a massive injury list I wonder?

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    I was thinking the same. From Wikipedia..... On 19 February 2024, Glasner was appointed manager of Premier League club Crystal Palace, signing a contract until the end of the 2025–26 season. He replaced Roy Hodgson, who stepped down as manager the same day.[18][19] He did not take charge of the...

    Squad

    I think you articulate what a lot of us feel. Poch's team had Harry, Eriksen, Walker, Toby/Jan, Dembele, Son, Dele etc. Ange's team is still about the collective with a few rising stars. Interestingly, the only guy that seems to be able to win games on his own is Johnson. I'm not sure where...

    As we were talking about the league, let's continue with those stats. 2017/18, Kane got 30 goals 2022/23, Kane got 30 goals The in-between years were 17, 18, 23 and 17 I'm sorry but there would be no guarantee of 25-30 goals a season especially in a tough PL when you're in your thirties. The...
