I asked in another thread, why, when T Rex has one of the best ball-playing Centre-backs in the world right in front of him, does he keep hoofing it, when his targets are players with the stature of Phil and Saka?
Agreed.
Similar to when they should have given the job to the great Brian Clough, but they daren't, as he would have told them too many home truths.
Players and managers all seem to look good at Brighton but when they leave, maybe not so good. They obviously have a great set up down there.
The manager just doesn't understand the importance of keeping the ball. For Spain's 2nd goal Guehi hoofed it long for a throw, 5 passes later it's in the net. We need a manager who has a philosophy similar to Pep, I believe we have the players for the first time in ages but they lack direction.
I wouldn't call it highly successful if you want to win tournaments. They buy cheap and polish them and sell them for profit. They don't bring many through their Youth Set Up.
I'm struggling to come up with any available candidates that would be considered a 'homerun'.
