Brian Marwood (merged)

Re: Only 1 person to blame for today...

after much thought, the OP is right. if marwood wasnt such a stubborn prick of a man, we'd have had van persie, de rossi and hazard in our squad and would be ripping the arse out of the prem. but no, he wastes money on sinclair and javi garcia. when it should have been hazard and de rossi instead. cant help but feel he really is a lot to blame

Didn't want to join us no matter what. How's that Marwoods fault?

Where's this urban myth come from ? He went back to City for more money following nitids approach and office clerk Marwood said no

I'm sorry but that decision had to be taken well above Marwood's head.

Marwood is or was certainly part of the problem.

We suffered from a lack of execution during the last window.

It's telling that we haven't made a sucessfull high profile signing since Gary Cook left.

Not having a CEO in place meant Marwood had to fill in with mixed results. Mancini was destabilized enough to set up a new job with Monaco. Hard to say whether he would still be here if we hadn't beaten QPR. When he got the new contract he then felt he had to shout the loudest to get the signings he wanted. This in turn may have effected everyone's confidence when they didn't show up.

On the plus side we've now got an experienced CEO in place, our best players on long term contracts, a new central defender who is going to be one of the best in the world, and a manager who is a premier league winner.

We now need Soriano to back Mancini and trust his judgement.

You've got it nearly right - we now need Mancini to back Soriano and Txiki and trust their judgment concerning player acquisition.
 
Re: Only 1 person to blame for today...

Nasri needs to go and we need to sell balo and sure up the striking dept
 
Re: Only 1 person to blame for today...

Just didn't make our possession count enough.

Not as quick and clinical in the oppositions half this season.

Everyone is at fault.

We still have time to rectify it.

The relationship between the three of them is going to shape the club for the next 4-5 years. Time for everyone to have their cards on the table.

Khaldoon should lock the three of them in a room with a bottle of brandy and a revolver and tell them not to come out until they've got at plan to win the Champion's League.

However, this may have already happened.

We'll see come January.

I'll fetch the brandy if you provide the revolver...!
 
Re: Only 1 person to blame for today...

How about the manager just just getting the best out of the 4 top strikers plus Yaya Toure & not having our fucking pants pulled down on the break or letting Rooney score a basic bog standard piss obvious cross/ tap in goal, the likes of which we've seen 1000 times before ?

How about the manager organising the team to be wary of that happening ?

No that's too much to ask. We just have to keep signing players, more & more & more & players, so the manager doesn't have to actually organise anything, just keep spending until we find another bunch to win the next title, then buy some more until we stumble upon a Champions League team & so on, & so on.

Yes, it's all Marwood's fault,

Balotelli, Dzeko, Tevez, Aguero, Silva, Nasri, Yaya aren't woth shit compared to the wonderful Tom Cleverley, Michael Carrick, Rafael, Johnny fucking Evans.

How can Mancini be expected to win v Utd or Everton when the best Marwood can do, is provide him a with a team like that ? It's all his fault.

Re: Well done Brian Marwood.

Bump, read my posts, I was bang on the money without wajyung to sound like a self satisfied tosspot.

Dear oh dear looking at some of the blind faith posts.

Take a bow to those who questioned me on CM and Width deficiencies.
 
Re: Well done Brian Marwood.

For me Mancini has his hands tied at the moment and as everyone knows already was let down badly in the summer. He wanted RVP, De Rossi and Hazard, instead we got Sinclair, Garcia and Rodwell.

Apart from the front two, the other 9 players are predictable especially in the big games. If we need to make a change it is always predictable, put the two forwards on and then Kolarov. It's all we can do.

At Newcastle last season, he made a great change, De Jong for Nasri allowing Silva and Yaya to be free and cause damage. I thought yesterday that same move was needed again but there is no one on the bench to do that change.

I know we won the last 6 games last season and ultimately the league when we played 4-4-2 with Silva and Nasri on the wings but if you looked at the opposition and circumstances it doesn't show you that that was because of our set up. We beat WBA, Norwich and Wolves because we had better players than them, not because of the set up, we beat United because they refused to get our of their half and then the other two games QPR was just a crazy football game and Newcastle is the one as mentioned when a change had to be made and we had the right players to do that.

Next week at Newcastle if Milner is still unfit it's going to be the same starting 11 isn't it and if things aren't going well how can we change it if Kolarov is not on the bench?

It's such a shame because of last season we really should have kicked on, instead we find ourselves 6 points behind now and with Yaya going off for a month soon...................

What are the facts and knowledge? We needed to cut down because of FFP yet still spend £50m?

DDR - He chose to stay at Roma.

RVP - Tevez replacement?

Hazard - Absurd Agent fees,unauthorised by owners?

Martinez - Preferred Bayern.

I'm not sure what more Marwood could have done?

should have clicked the buy button on his PS3 game more quickly
 
Re: Well done Brian Marwood.

We replaced a great player who had been an integral part of our squad over the last 4 years with two poor players and spent £28m for the privilege.

Yep these decisions were due to cutting down on spending!!

You ever considered that those three players were simply not available to us. RVP chose United. Hazard chose Chelsea. DDR chose to stay at Roma.

Now there is an argument that we could've paid a premium to secure the players, but you're talking about players who would've commanded 250k a week. That's adding a 3/4 million pounds a week to the wage bill. That's 3 million a month, or 36 million a year. Over four years that's 146 million pounds just in wages. Then add on the premium transfer fees. You get the picture. It's not realistic when you look at the current level of our wage bill. And that's not just about FFP, it's about having some sense of sensibility when running such a huge business.
