Good to hear that felt a little bad about it. But you have 20 years here I guess you have seen a lot worse. Manager debates always heated even before the internet rather crazy how much we care about these knobs who usually leave us in the shit lolNo worries about your PM to me. Sorry for taking the piss.HWT

Doesn’t strike me as the type to listen to much guidance. It’s hard to imagine he’s being told anything now from a PR point of view that he wasn’t before. I wonder if the reports from usually well-informed sources that he’s not a contender for Liverpool have been a minor reminder that it’s best not to **** on your own doorstep unless you’re sure you’re moving.
Absolutely this. And don't forget that we're potentially (hopefully) on the verge of a new financial age in the Premier League. There's more money sloshing around than ever but at the same time it's not going to be acceptable to spend beyond your means going forward. We could find ourselves ahead of the other 14 (and potentially a few others).
I understand your feeling.
However, maybe when Roberto joined, both TB and PB told him to aim high, to push them, to be demanding...so long as the purpose was always to move the squad and results forward.
RDZ's English is not very nuanced, but maybe he's acting in the way he was asked to
. I dunno, just a thought

The German 'expert' also added that there would be some concern at BM board level about the pitch side antics, and abrasive manner, which is universally accepted as not part of the BM model.

Totally agree, I’m bored with the whole thing now.
Here is the big secret that seems to have been missed.
Because Tony Bloom is a genius and can keep his gob shut, even to the point of keeping the volatile (but lovely) manager in the dark.....
We are cash rich.
Lots of clubs are now under FFP scrutiny.
They will have to sell in the summer.
We can buy.
Do the FAHCKIN maths.
"RDZ announces he is full steam ahead for next season, up another level with a massive transfer war chest"
Up go the prices and we get rinsed.
If I have to explain this a second time, so help me, I will SWING for someone.
And.....exhale.

Thank you for restoring my faith in people still using 'bored with' instead of 'bored of'. In gratitude here's the song that took several years to limp in to existence, was offered to Redwood (soon to be Three Dog Night) then reclaimed to feature one of Carl Wilson's greatest vocals and described by Brian Wilson as perhaps his finest song.

He moans endlessly in public about a lack of players due to injuries and the players who left almost a year ago, even though we've had replacements. Why does he think he has to whine like this for months on end, either he feels a need to make excuses and explain the reasons for his inability to manage the team to the level of his ambition, or he expects the club to sack him, saving his next club from paying 10mils? He is rather naïve for someone in a position of middle management.

We do. RDZ has potters players and 90% of the way he played. That’s how he’s been successful.
I'd put bringing Potter back up there with stapling my scrotum to my thigh to stop it flapping around as I run in the terrible idea stakes.

I still think on balance he'll do another year. I don't find his comments objectionable at all, I share his frustration that the constant overachievement can't be sustained without more quality being brought in

This, the only thing he is really doing wrong is talking about it in press conferences.
What you get with a manager who wears his heart on his sleeve I guess.

Dangerous Idiot
He is paid to ultimately win football matches he’s failing at that at the moment two wins in how many league games? We have injuries this season so have many other clubs, Is he the genius everyone is so desperate to keep? I’ve said before middling clubs getting into Europe isn’t a new thing or the miracle he is portraying we had a fantastic squad last season with a World Cup winning midfielder in the ranks.
The groaning has coincided with the not winning it’s everyone else’s fault.
He’s a baby at PL level and hasn’t earned the right to demand from any chairman just yet.
I hope he gets his head down and becomes the manager here he could be a great one.

Yeah we are in a bit of a dip, it happens in football., he has shown enough promise for me to give him time and a little patience.
Fwiw I am not 'desperate' to keep him, nor am I proclaim him a 'genius' but I do hope we keep him, if not I am excited to see who is next on Tony and Paul's list
…..and thank you!!!
Buster Gonad speaks!!
He’d be better railing at the rigged structure of modern football rather than a club that’s run the way the rest should be. It’s tiresome and would be better aired in private, not least to preserve his relationship with the fans. Likewise though I’m not too bothered, more or less any decent manager would be the same and up sticks for a super-rich club given half a chance. If he stays, that’ll be great. If he goes, hopefully it’ll be abroad and his behaviour has made it easier to accept.
