With all due respect, there’s no way we signed these guys without Bloom’s approval. It just isn’t how we operate. This all feels a bit like Naylor and the club doing some good PR to apportion blame elsewhere, when the failings for the season really are theirs.
I never said he’d become incapable, simply that multi billionaires rarely like being questioned.
We made a lot of mistakes last summer. Those mistakes will have been his, whether he likes it or not. And they’ve impacted our season.
That doesn’t mean we don’t owe him a ton as a club, or that he...
I think he’s shown himself to be what he is - a talented young guy who should’ve been eased into the side who’s been overplayed because of injuries. He’s certainly not the issue.
People as rich as Tony Bloom don’t want to be questioned, it’s that simple.
We had an exceptional manager in RDZ, albeit one with flaws who I think needed more time with us, and he was left with a poor squad this season that then became even weaker once injuries took their toll.
If I was him...
Yeh, absolutely. But either way they often aren’t paid up front. And from an accounting perspective they’re amortized across the contract anyway. Basically, it’s highly unlikely a CL club can’t afford that fee.
I’ve always been in favour of the tech being used. What I’m not in favour of is its current implementation or the people running it. If we can automate it more, and take away the idiots drawing the lines who have no idea what they’re doing, then I’m game.
Saying that, stopping VAR gives the...
I’m with you on this. I thoroughly dislike tipping culture.
If companies can’t pay their workers properly and can’t price their services at the correct levels to pay employees, then that’s on them, not on me.
It’s an interesting one this. I didn’t realise the highway code had been changed last year so that a car entering a junction had to stop for any pedestrians moving into the road. So if you come off a roundabout, for example, doing 30 and someone decides to step out just as you’re coming off...
This isn’t what happened. She backed out, meaning their key witness couldn’t have the case built around them.
This has nothing to do with due process and it’s a total misdirection to suggest otherwise.
Also, the media didn’t ruin his life. He’s still playing professional football on obscene...
No, and I’d be calling the club up to get a refund on my newly reacquired season ticket if it happens.
Clearly a potentially excellent player, but an absolute scumbag and I couldn’t support a club that supports him.
The biggest issue with this is the rule and where the lines are being drawn. They shouldn’t be trying to put imaginary lines for slightly sticking out body parts. It leaves far too much room for interpretation, as they have here. They’re essentially creating a situation where a bent knee is...
Was it? I’m not trying to be facetious but I thought the TV coverage of it in real time was horrible. They didn’t show a clear image at any point that clarified why it was offside or whether the lines were being drawn from the defender or the ball.
Maybe one’s been released since, but it...
