Listen to his interview just to hear what he was saying about Sancho, he didn’t mention state owned!

To be fair to Ten Hag at no time does he say state owned.
I think Grassland has seen how the media have twisted it. The Daily Telegraph have a headline that is basically quoting him saying state owned. I too thought fter reading the headline intro he'd said it but when I'd finished reading it I thought, 'hang on, he's not mentioned state owned'. It really is disgraceful journalism.
 
The rags are praying for a country which is helping Russia. Can't see the government letting any deal involving another Saudi fund at the moment


 
The Rags want to be owned by a morally-pure billionaire who will take nothing out of their club and will also sign up for the long list of conditions they wish to impose on him.

Makes my aspiration to have a threesome with Julia Roberts and Kiera Knightly look comparatively attainable.

Except that isn't what happened.

City put a deal on the table that would have made him the best paid teenager ever at the club. He decided to leave anyway as we wouldn't/couldn't guarantee game time.

Strangely enough he was lauded for being strong enough mentally to take that option which makes his state of mind now all the more sad.

Personally I feel sorry for the lad and hope he gets sorted sooner rather than later. A move elsewhere would probably be a good starting point but given how much they were rinsed for, they won't allow him to go cheap and I don't know who would pay up on a gamble.

You are right about the deal, but Sancho also blotted his copybook with Pep by refusing to train in those last few weeks.

His mistake was going to the scum. When was the last time a young player or even an experienced player improved at the rags ?

I dont see the appeal for young players to go to the rags it wont improve their careers. Will improve their bank balance. But you are throwing your career away over money.

The big question is why do they nearly all fail? Something in the water?

I’m pretty sure it all started with Jaded refusing to sign the contract, which would have made him the highest paid teenager, that we offered him.

And because he wouldn’t sign, we didn’t take him on the pre-season tour of USA. It all escalated from there.

Yep it’s the media that always set the narrative and they allowed to print post lies to get a story!

He surely had an idea of the situation when he took the job only a few months ago, he's already spent 200m, how much more will they give him to spend, their nearly spent up on the credit card.
Nobody will buy the scum.

Ten Haag says that the rags can't compete with 'state owned' clubs.
Does he mean CITY?
Needs calling out if so!

Because 'state owned clubs' can spend a lot of money on players unlike United?

Come on Eric - what you REALLY mean is "I can't compete with a manager who is quite clearly galaxies ahead of me but I'll hide behind some other feeble reason."

I don’t think we’ve been lucky with our signings.

We have a manager and DoF, as well as people above them, such as Ferran, who know the game inside out and a scouting network that can identify the type of players that will fit the system we play.

Admittedly, not every acquisition has been a great success, especially some of the young (potential) talents, but very few of those that have gone straight into the first-team squad have been flops, certainly in the time that Pep has been here.

He thought he new it all chased the money and game time got it all at young age and drive motivation gone! Being dropped from England a strong motivated person wouldn’t of gone on a break they would of trained day in day out to get as fit as possible! He ain’t a winner!

Look at Kompany had plenty of injuries but his drive Hunger to get back fit and get on the city side was there for all to see and left the club after we won the domestic quad and scoring a wonder goal to get us 3 points what was crucial..
