Txiki Begiristain to leave role at end of season

[bitterblue78]

He should have bids on the table on january 1st. No excuse

One fucking forward in the squad

There more holes in the squad than in nunes socks!

at this point I wonder how busy he was last weeks to set up the January moves. he may only start picking up the phone 3rd week of January for some targets and then we hear rumours we might run out of time due to closure of the window 31st January :)

in this situation if we do think of this season seriously any new signing would need to be training already with the team 3rd of January for only the contract signing and medical to be done on the 2nd. unless we can do everything on bank holiday 1st of Jan.

He’s been an excellent signing apart from a run of games in November and December recently. He was back to his best today.

He should have stopped the second. Go and watch it back. Tried to back heel it, awful decision making

He should have agreements in place with clubs and agents before Christmas, bids accepted officially 1st Jan and players signed up 2nd/3rd.

If he’d been sacked he wouldn’t still be in the job.

He could've been told he's leaving at the end of the season.

We all know we will sign 1 player. Most probably from some mid table french team for £200.000

Wrong to just blame Txiki for the transfer decisions. He's just one cog in a machine.

It has seemed like something changed 3 years ago. Before that the club were almost surgical like in the transfer market. No fuss. We got who we wanted quickly and efficiently.

Then we started being haphazard in our approach. Random bids for players like Rice with no hope of success. Going for below par players like Phillips and Nunes.

Its a bit like the Rodwell/Garcia/Sinclair summer. We got so much right in the seasons before then. Then had a huge brain fart

Similar now it seems…

One fucking forward in the squad

One full back

he and his scouts decided Nunes is the signing that is going to help us after we missed out on Bellingham, Rice, Paqueta. a year after they decided Kalvin Phillips will be a shrewd signing.

now we are paying the price for these transfers on the pitch while we still pay their hefty amortized fees for them for a bit more years.

to be fair losing patience with Doku as well if he is ever gonna be a great winger for us scoring/assisting regularly as his off the ball play is a big weakness already and not much in the offensive side of his games this season.

Whether people like it or not our tixi or whatever he is called has totally dropped the ball and sent us years backwards now with an aging squad who in their day where the best in the world by a mile to now looking at mid table best player his season . Glad he is going but he has left us with a massive rebuild .
