Hugo Viana to be new Director of Football (Official Announcement p17)

Big job and one that he must be aware of. Building a new team of winners is going to be a big ask.

He needs to get his first signing off to a good start.

Big changes coming over the next few season.

Hoping we’ll be making big signings way before he starts. Need Txiki to buy a top player in January - one that keeps KDB & Rodri fighting for their places.
 
He’s going to need his knack of finding bargains given how many players we’re going to need to replace.
 
Was hoping that the day Txiki was leaving he would leave on a high, handing over a squad as good as ever that would give any replacement some time to settle in and some time to adjust, settle in, and see how things work around here. Instead it looks like we are asking Viana, with little to no experience from a top5 league, to start off with a major rebuild. I sure hope he is up for it.
 
He'll need to come hit the ground running. Ample opportunity for improvement overall. Really need to get legs in the midfield.
 
Got a big job ahead of him.

We’ve got a lot of 30+ year olds who are on the decline, with the players in the squad who may look to replace them being absolutely nowhere near as good as these ageing players were in their prime or others who’ve left us over the last four years.

That’s what you get when you have a 5 year net spend of £-70m; a gradual decline.
Well said, money in the bank means fuck all in football terms. It's like the Grealish transfer made us embarrassed to spend big. We need to show every club out there that we are the top dogs and start to act a little like Madrid when it comes to transfers.
 
His job is huge as it is, Pep needs to let us know one way or another.

It will still be a major factor for players we want to acquire.

It was for Haaland.
They'll want more than that I reckon - we know he'll be here for a year or two, but some players might be nervous about after that.

Pep, for all his absolute godlike ability, does have favourites too
 
I can’t understand the discontent on here, absolute madness
We are 1 point behind Liverpool and 5 clear of Arsenal and have horrendous injuries and just lost our first PL game in almost a year
Can you honestly not see why we didn’t spend in the Summer - seriously !
APT rules and a stop to our sponsorship deals - effects income
PL charges potential fine etc etc - effects outgoings
Uncertainty about the managers future
Money being spent on the ground
Yet we still compete - look at the trophies we have won.
The club will get it right
