More Villas-Boas than Mourinho at the moment. I actually thought he had something about him though, but when I saw how he set up with Sporting against us I started to think that he might not suit the top level. Yes, they sucker punched us and were organised and well coached, but we were completely shit in that moment and we should arguably still have been at least 3 up in the first half. The best coaches in this day and age doesn't set up to absorb pressure and hit on the counter. Even the managers in the Prem a bit under the highest level like Iraola, Frank, Howe, Hurzler and Emery coaches their teams to try and control possesion against any team. You could argue that it is sensible at Sporting to do it, but as we have already seen he is way too comfortable to sit back and hoof it as soon as he is given the keys to an allegedly "top club" as well. This type of mentality is hard to shed. Just look at Arteta. You don't win anything in football these days with a style based on a inferiority complex. Even Atletico has started to play some relationism driven joga-bonito type of shit most games and they are probably the only club where playing defensive shit on a stick football is so ingrained in their dna that they can live with it and still be competetive

Herein lies the problem.
Who exactly has got this ‘out there?’ ( if it is true)
It’s hilarious that nothing seems to be kept in house and I for one am loving it.
If it’s an attempt at a positive spin on hard line Amoron then it’s Ill judged at best.
That group of misfits would throw their own granny under the nearest bus if it got them off any semblance of culpability for the latest nytid comedy offering that is this season.

If he’s losing the dressing room already then - get the fuck in! Ha ha ha ha.

Wreck it Ralf called it out for what is what at rodent central, just like Frank Clark did and our then owners took no notice.

Keep up the good work Scruffy Jim, I do have one good money saving idea though.

Those lazy fucking kids in nytid clobber that stand around the pitch - they don’t pay for admission and they get the outfits for free - money to be made there.

My guess is that Saint Marcus will likely be a decent source for journalists at the moment.

It does feel like they’ve entombed themselves in a concrete coffin. They’ve spent a fortune on players that aren’t manageable by anyone.

They can’t get rid of them as their wages are too high and so the manager needs changing to try something different. They bring in their players and they don’t fit with the current ones.

Therefore the manager gets sacked and the next one comes in and buys their new players and they don’t fit with the current ones either!

They hire a director of football for big money, reject his ideas, appoint another manager and fire him for not agreeing with scruffy Jim.


Delicious.
