It wasn’t the prince’s wealth was it . Was it not the premier League TV money that was spent? No extra was spent and December promises were broken in January by the Prince
I quote your last line, if it’s out of context please explain.
He didn’t spend a penny of any additional money outside the prize money
A chairman who makes a promise then fails to fulfill that promise isn’t a leader either
The Prince made a promise in a broadcast in December and broke that promise in January. How can his word be trusted after that. If the Prince is erring on the side of caution then don’t make promises you have no intention of keeping
How many other clubs spent over there prize money ? Maybe villa and city
If I remember correctly CW said would be best transfer window he had ever had IF brings in one more player. That player was Brewster who was, then wasn,t then was, then wasnt, then did eventually arrive.
100% spot on.
I assume you mean he's had more than 6 months of a bad run. In the context of when you should sack a manager it depends when you start the clock. Some people started the clock on 16th July 2020 and I daresay would have had him sacked by Christmas. Some generously allow him the failure of last season and start the new season afresh, so sacking him now would be around 6 months. Of course some would have sacked him already and would undoubtedly be calling for the head of the new appointee by now, too.
TV money is paid in instalments throughout the season, with a small monthly lump sum also paid to clubs.
The business model isn’t ‘sell low, buy high’. He was sold at a price that reflected his level at the time and bought back for one that reflected it when he returned (it wasn’t £18m, either).
Scared cutlasses? Surely a Freudian slip Pommps?
Spot on! You bought him Chris so play him? Not a single midfield player has scored a goal this year except Sander and that was a pen? whats plan B Chris.... Jack had a knee problem last year.... everyone knew it.... stop blaming everyone else Chris. Of course some of it is true I don’t doubt that but take responsibility. My firm has just cut next years budget by 16%... do I like it....no......did they tell me 3 months ago that they wouldn’t ...yes....it’s life for everyone and let’s be honest Chris has spent more than any other manager ever in our history..... Brewster.....McBurnie.....Moose.... Berge....Ramsdale..... all big for us and maybe that’s a lack of ambition but if I was the chairman and I looked at those signings I would also not be giving Chris more cash....
100% this.
I think he’s had longer than any manager, including Chris himself, can expect. It’s been an appalling season, but whilst it doesn’t look great he can’t have become a bad manager overnight
Yeah as much as I'm behind Wilder and want him here next season 100%, I have thought he's pushed the envelope a little.
That's only true (the longer than anyone can expect part) if you are of the opinion that firing managers as soon as there's a downturn in form is the right way to run a football club. Keeping hold of a manager despite a downturn, especially despite relegation, has become the exception rather than the rule, but it doesn't mean it's the right way to go about things. There are examples aplenty where either strategy has worked or hasn't worked, but in our specific case, with our resources, with our history, especially over the last decade or so, I find it bizarre that anyone wants to get rid of him now - or even says they're not bothered if he goes.
I agree with you, Manchester United stuck with Fergie.. look how that turned out.
