Clichés that mean very little and may run counter to each other anyway.

What if youth products cannot play the style of football, should he still embrace youth?

  • Set the Culture
  • Improve recruitment
  • Structural reset
  • Clear playing style
  • Embrace youth
  • Develop players
Both LVG and Mourinho probably had a go at doing a majority of those. How did that work out?

The ex-rags that work for BT benefit from the rags being shit, far more than they would if they were to be competitive again. They get paid to talk even more bollocks about the nth attempt at rebuilding.

Wio needs to add a mission statement, That overarching strap line that captures the scent of the organisational entity and corals the senses of the supporters.

So where we could perhaps use ‘the best team in the land etc’ the scum could adopt something like ’Constantly striving for you to be slightly less shit.‘

There… did you see that… the zebras are nodding together in agreement.

I suppose if stretford are zebras, we must be lions, though I've always thought they look a bit dopey. Memories of Clarence the cross eyed lion probably.

Pursuing this tortuous animal simile to its logical conclusion, that must make the loveable scousers a pack of hyenas, forever picking at the scraps we leave!
 
Tweet after tweet after tweet in my feed about how "brutally honest" Ralf laid everything bare and detailed all the flaws and took the piss out of the club with his presser(s).

Idiots -- he hasn't said a goddamn thing about six dozen posters here haven't already been saying for YEARS. And you're PAYING him.
 
Watching Match of the Day, and they highlighted the ease Arsenal passed through them. Talked about Fernandes pressing by himself, and how it being easy to play through them, and they need to hunt as a pack.

What they don’t say is Ronaldo is stood there, just walking, when he should be pressing too. Something a lot of posters on here, said was his limitations when they “stole” him from City.

Why is he never brought to criticism on this? He was also brought in, as a winner, who the youngsters would look up to. Which is true, any youngster would want to work with one of the best the game has ever seen, and you’d hope that they pick up a tip of two from them.

But, if there are negatives, they may pick this up too. And it’s notable that a lot of them are just walking about games these days. When you see someone getting away with it, time and again, then you may switch off, and it may be happening in the United camp.

That's all consultants have ever done. Listened to everybody, write the report, get paid. Easy money

Yep. Got to admire the business acumen. Take a no risk short-term managerial gig (they win, he's a genius; they lose, they were already terrible) and then get two years paid to write a report. Director of football my ass.

1. He should be pressing, but he can't physically.
2. He wasn't brought in as someone the younger players would look up to. He was brought in as a panic buy to keep him away from us (tee hee).
3. I'd replace the word "may" in the sentences in your last paragraph with the words "absolutely will".

The Five Stages of Grief

1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

What's funniest about this is she literally bounces around all the first four of these in eight minutes.

As soon as she changes "maybe ten Haag should focus on the league" to "maybe ten Haag should focus on keeping us in the Prem", I'll believe she's reached acceptance.
