    Suspect it will be but I am not sure. A lot of the coaches coming through like Potter seem very much systems managers with excellent tactical knowledge etc etc but you just don't get the time with the players at international level to drill them into a particular model. This is why Southgate has done fine, he's well short on the tactics and it's shown him up a bit and yet he's got us to a final and reasonably close another. Look at Potter's struggle to get Chelsea playing how he wanted, and by internal accounts it wasn't like he was disliked by players even it just never clicked. I'd be looking for an astute in game tactical manager as an upgrade, and frankly if it is an English manager (and I am about as far from a tubthumping engerland type as you can get), which i think in an ideal world would be just as the players are all english kinda makes sense if we are doing this national teams thing, I just can't see any candidates now? Potter I think wouldn't thrive in international set-up, Howe makes more sense but he wants his players super fit, he would then have to pick from teams that play that style, City and Arsenal players would be fine but would any others?

    I honestly think he's bad for tactics great for vibes, why cant we have him to man manage the squad and someone else to do subs and tactics?

    The ice caps are melting, noone can afford to live, theres war all over and all the news is about tiny flags being a different colour, it's just wank. Anyway just watching for gordon and bruno and i hope it ends like this between them ;d
  5. I mean it's kinda for the Nottingham Forests of the world where the owner could be splurging more than he can afford and who would know, and what would happen if he ran at a £200m loss and then bailed leaving the club in financial ruin. The issue is how the rules are a) favoring clubs with outrageous incomes massively so rather than at all limiting spending of the rich clubs to bring others closer to them are restricting everyone else, and b) incentivising the fire-sale of homegrown players by clubs which feels mad to me... I think it does mean clubs are less likely to implode but it's bad for the league in it's current form. It either needs to be changed to mean clubs that have the cash can spend it (even if it meant extensive proof of funds required) while still incentivising growing clubs revenue etc as should happen, or somehow scaling back the completely bonkers inflated prices and wages of players to allow clubs to be more competitive. I have no idea how to do that though. I also think something to make it more difficult for clubs to hoard players somehow could help? None of this will happen tho
  6. They could have sold someone else too. I know but with these things you do have to have cut off points at some point
  7. Incidentally does anyone know if there's a pub showing the game in vicinity of the cluny? Never go that way to watch but got gig directly after
  8. Sigh shipping goals to one of the most goal shy teams in the league. We're just not good and there are a lot of reasons for that at the moment. Tbh just want this season to end at this point.
  9. Fucking awful goal to concede we were all over them and how many chances to stop ffs
  10. Definitely a foul anywhere else on the pitch, though how many dodgy decisions have they got over the season at anfield, feels hard to have any sympathy
