Clearly some shit went down. This transfer window may not have suited RDZ either. Yes we have spent money, but it is still within our model of buying young raw talent, on relatively low wages, with the prospect of a decent profit when they move on.
And this is why a distinction needs to be made between Jews and Israeli's. Being opposed to the actions of the Israeli government is NOT an anti-Semitic position. By the rules of matrilineality, I am Jewish, however, I am not a Zionist and not Israeli. This makes the sentiment that anyone...
It would appear that TB has done the maths and worked out that a top 6 finish and the brand recognition that comes with it makes the expense value for money. As to 40m unfortunately, as ridiculous an amount of money that it is in relative terms it is f*** all. My only concern is that a brand...
And this is what I don't get. I would strongly suspect that the way I thought things were going to work and how I think they should work is shared by the vast majority of people involved in the game, from fans, to players, club employees etc. So who the f*** is in charge of ignoring the wishes...
I think this is what most of us thought we were getting, not the absolute to the mm rule book we now have. Hand of god type incidences, cleared off the line, penalties, deliberate handball, obvious offside etc. I certainly didn't envisage clear and obvious to mean if we closely examine it from...
I tend to agree. Potter didn't have much more experience than FH and the squad was nowhere near as accomplished, true we struggled for the first few seasons with him but I think some of those lessons will have been learnt by the club. I do see us having a few difficult matches, to begin with...
I agree, as this wonderful paragraph from the Guardian explains he was entirely the wrong fit for Chelsea.
" In fact, he was so obviously the wrong fit it was tempting to squint in search of some brilliant masterplan just out of sight because this couldn’t be serious, could it? Here we had the...
Genuine question. Can you explain how mutual termination of a contract ( in the case of RDZ) and however it was framed with Potter means that the "terminating" club has a right to compensation if hired by another team? I am guessing that there would be clauses in the termination agreement?
They quite obviously were. Once teams understood why we were goading them they stopped playing along with it. That being said he did change tactics and probably would have had a much better run if not for all the injuries. You can't sell two of our best players and then have so many other...
I always assumed (as was generally reported) that the rift between TB and RDZ (if rift it was) was due to TB not being prepared to sink many millions into new signings, yet as soon as the market opened we went in guns blazing ( by our standards at least) and it looks like we are going to land...
would rule out both Potter (who I would argue had less experience) and RDZ
I couldn't agree more, hopefully TB will pull him aside and say, we thought Potters teeth sucking was bad, for the love of dog please stop with the "guys"
As to how it will go, I am very positive. Fortunately both...
