Would he win anything with Brighton’s budget ? It is possible that this style of football only works with the best players. Possible not definite.

I get your point, but I am not talking about Maupay and this team. At the time, we often faced a team playing a high defensive line, perfect for a through ball for a speed merchant like CMS to run on to, but we kept playing to his feet, despite the fact he had the first touch of a rapist. Many of our games were drawn 0-0. Gus has since said he wanted CMS for his ability to press the keeper for 90 minutes, more than for his goal scoring ability, but to my mind he could have got both with a little tweak in what we did at the time, particularly against a high back line. It would not have required a huge change, and might also have encouraged the opposition to drop the back line a bit further back.

Burnley finished 7th a couple of seasons ago. Lest we forget!
This.
There was a Snowball around 20 years ago on the old Mailing List, and who played in the SFL. I wonder if this is a relation.
Very wanky article, though. Sorry, if the author is reading

Potter could be a 'fraudulent genius' . . . but Trying to do the near impossible is neither

I'm strongly thinking that our football ceiling will strongly reflect our wages ceiling in the short to medium term. Might not be pretty - til we take it to the next level

In Albion terms for sure. But not in EPL terms. Still perpetually lingering in and around that Mini League Of Death

It’s unacceptable isn’t it. We should be beating “teamslikejustaboutanybody”

No idea what that means, if anything
Fact is tho, TB is increasingly up against dodgy oligarchs and former/current heads of states of corrupt nations. Maybe he's bet the house on them all pissing off to their own SuperDuperChampionsDoublePremierEuroLeague. If/when that happens, then great, we might well come close to lording it over a parish pump EPL. Guess it's all relative eh?
Unfortunately true. Someone posted a wage budget league table here once. It’s scary how aligned it is to the real thing.
