    Mental Health Discussion & Check-In Thread

    Very true. My daughter has struggled with much for years. She is ADHD, and last week, at 20 years old, was officially diagnosed with autism (she is high functioning autistic they say). Her relief has been enormous! Good luck indeed...

    Xavi Simons

    In fairness, I think the biggest struggle has been accepting who he wants us to be stylistically. In that sense, I don't think he is adapting more than he is starting to successfully implement what he wants us to do (which is very different to the last two seasons and would therefore take a fair...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think everything you've said there is accurate TBH. Results and winning are everything these days (and for some it has always been that way). I think you'll get your 2/3 years, maybe more. In fairness, bar Ange's two seasons, we had several seasons prior where the 'philosophy' was binned off...

    The devil's hand eh? I'd love to see the outgoings against that figure for full context.

    :-), got it. Maybe just a few key ones?

    Cristian Romero

    Ah yes, re: Danso I am thinking back and you're right. I suppose you'd still have to give him credit for at least being alive to the right gazumping if you know what I mean! I think it's going to be tough to fully evaluate his contributions based on the age of player he works best in profiling...

    Got it. Just for the record, it was wrong to detail Lange as being part of VdV ;) ;) Agreed on the second point, they were in the right area and in fairness did the right thing in backing that manager's personal choice, so positive on both counts. However, the manager/head coach will always...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    I think the biggest doubt there is the 'electoral support' thing. Sadly, it feels like instead, the usual agents of misfortune are taking advantage of an increasingly impoverished and downtrodden society by throwing up the usual screens and bafflers as 'the reasons' rather than the fattening of...

    I'll be more specific. The committee wanted Tapsoba. Ange wanted VdV, despite the relative inexperience. His preference was backed. Whether you believe what I'm saying in this specific incident is obviously yours to decide mate. BTW, we signed VdV in August 2023 and Lange joined us in November...

    ...it feels a lifetime ago that all that was going down. I often wonder if people who voted for Brexit now feel they actually got what they wanted? Has it all been what they thought it would be?

    American politics

    Observer just following this discussion (and finding it hard not to involve LOL)...could I suggest you actually define what current political ideas feel 'to the left' for you (again in 2026 context)?

    Cristian Romero

    As I said to Billy just now, I heard at the time from a very well-placed source as to why Postecoglu wanted him specifically.Yes, Tapsoba was the better known and 'rated' option. VdV was not proven.

    Cristian Romero

    I can say unequivocally that Ange pushed for VdV as he was both rapid and left-footed. He was insistent on the left-footed angle. I heard directly from a source at the time. He was backed (obviously).

    Cristian Romero

    BTW, I love that he keeps speaking out AND think the club have to show some cajoles/structure and fine him, as otherwise they are absolutely allowing an inmate to run the asylum (which whether you like the message or not is not healthy)...
