It’s not quite as bad but if we’re not careful it’ll be like when Fergie left the scum. Ageing players not replaced or much inferior players coming inLosing the goals of Alvarez with no replacement was a huge mistake no matter how much cash we received. Simply not enough goals in the squad to challenge for trophies.
Worse is that Haaland is playing every minute - which is going to end in tears. When he pulls up injured cause of being overplayed we will be really in the shit.
Txiki’s been asleep at the wheel whilst on his 12 month lap of honour.
Lots of mitigating factors but there has been chronic mis-management which won’t be sorted in January.
Pep is also a huge part of that transfer committee, was he reluctant to get involved because he though he may not extend his deal?Losing the goals of Alvarez with no replacement was a huge mistake no matter how much cash we received. Simply not enough goals in the squad to challenge for trophies.

My own personal opinion, so means fuck all in the scheme of things, is that the powers that be at the club are a lot less confident of winning the charges case than their public bolshiness would have us think.Can you elaborate or put some context on "the fear of offending the PL" bit?
The buck stops with the Director of Football. Txiki has explained the complications of managing post treble - but he’s made an absolute arse of it.A post showing how little you know of the background to last summer and how our club came to their transfer decisions ,of which Txiki was only one part. To be fair I don't full understand it either, but I know Txiki wasn't just left to his own devices, and then at the end of the summer the rest of the club were asking Txiki what happened.
"Written a season off" you sound entitled.The buck stops with the Director of Football. Txiki has explained the complications of managing post treble - but he’s made an absolute arse of it.
We were shown several times last year that the team can’t function without Rodri. Whether it was the money he wasted on Phillips and Nunes - but to go into the season with just Rodri and no proper back up was negligent.
We sold our backup striker at the end of the window meaning we went into the season with one striker that we know cannot play every game.
Those two decisions are mind boggling to me.
As you say, there could be loads of reasons we don’t know about - 115 related - Pep possibly leaving before signing his contract - loads of complications but the Summer activity ( and lack of activity ) has killed us and written a season off.
Replace Alvarez with whom ??Alvarez wanted out, rumours his family were not going to get their visa renewed by UKG, who knows, 80m was great but not to replace him was foolish.
54 games and 19 goals, not replaced.
FA Cup and CL to come, along with reinforcements and some injured/ill players returng to full fitness and elite condition."Written a season off" you sound entitled.
15 games in and everything to play for, we probably won't win the league for the 5th time in a row, is that what your expecting.?
