Transfer Rumours January 2018 Transfer Window

Not surprised. He is a better player than long but not being given a chance. We might actually do better playing him than gabbiadini.

 

He was a better player than Long.

But he looks like he ate his own weight in lard over the Summer, and currently offers less than Long imo.

 

True. Long lay off when he injured his shoulder too, didn’t help. At least Austin can strike a ball though

 

Good

 

And how into horses he is

 

Likes a drink too as well doesn't he? Allegedly a bit too much shall we say...

 

Wouldn’t drinking be in breach of contract? Didn’t think they were allowed to go boozing these days?

 

Seen him out a bit with forgotten man Stephens.

 

If I was manager I would be breathalysing players. Drinking = no game and no pay.

 

They don't like it but not sure they can stop them drinking for 8months a year... probably rules in place but doubt it's written into contract.

 

No it didn’t, you’re right, and that’s part of my belief that the last two appointments have been poor. Just this one is clearly worse than the last one, unless you’re Ian.

 

I am starting to think it is more then just a manager problem

 

It is, but MP is certainly out of his depth it seems and isn't getting the best out of the team.

I'm wondering how much credit Les has left in the bank, was going to do a thread yesterday but thought better...

 

Les has too much power

 

How long for though?

Feel like he has a feeling of invincibility about himself after some success.

 

None in my book, absolutely none.

He used up his credit with me in the summer 2016 transfer window. Not replacing Pelle and Mane was unforgiveable, but I gave him a free pass because of how well his tenure had gone up to that point.

He has failed for the best part of 18 months, and should have lost his job now. But as I said yesterday, I think he is now too powerful for that - unless the Chinese actually want to get hands-on, and run our club. I am so far yet to be convinced on that.

 

Les has a clique with in the club. If we want rid Gao would have to get rid of about 5 people

 

Senior and lower down in coaching staff?

 

Bloody hell !

 

How readily can we replace a director of football?
