All the stat geeks are pissing their pants at the prospect of us getting him so I assume he’s a good coach. Maybe Gerrard will be a “personality” manager and his team will do lots of the coaching.
It’s not every player from down south I’d disregard. But me personally, I’d never sign and older player from the Premiership ever again and the vast majority of players I’d sign from England would be young players from the championship and from top English youth sides. For me the club needs to turn into an Ajax or Dortmund type club where we sign young players from all over with the view of getting them ready for and eventually selling them to the Prem for good money as it’s most players aspirations. The signing of Premiership has beens just doesn’t work for me.
Because our scouting is shite and the head honchos of our club adore the English leagues, specifically the prem and championship, and wold rather sign a 29 year old who has played most of his career in the championship than a younger player from a more obscure league. Because playing in the Premiership and coming up here obviously means you’ll be a class above the rest
Our best hope is the Champions League gets abolished and made into a competition for only the proper elite clubs and and a new league is made in which we get invited to on name alone.
Our transfer policy is fucking pathetic.
People in charge have a fucking hard on for the premiership and championship and cannot see by it so we keep signing near 30 year old journeymen from those leagues and because of the standing it has within the heads of King etc they jut expect them to be great players.
Pathetic. We’re never going to do anything without some inmagination and invention.
