I’m not mad. I’m not having a meltdown. This is a calm response.😀 We did so well getting keeper,defence & midfield sorted out. But offensively we tried to run before we could walk.We’ve acted naively Paixao saga derailed us. This ending of TW is pathetic.It’s amateurish.DF must be raging privately.
If this happened to another club, I’d be laughing. I almost wonder if this shows the level of the 49ers commitment to Farke. Maybe they’re saving their money and putting it aside for the January window to spend after they’ve fired Farke #LUFC
I mean surely that’s a better explanation than that they’re in over their heads and a bit naive and incompetent
Maybe we’ve just ran out of money? That could be the problem?
Surely if we were that close to the top of our budget they would have shopped some of our assets.
I said that yesterday-they were planning to sack him but won championship and got fans backing so couldn’t do it. But undermining him and not signing players to let him get results is an easy out for them
This is mad. If they wanted rid, they'd just sack him and not give two hoots what the fans thought. They don't need to risk the entire investment just to give themselves a pretext.
It is mad and it’s mad that our window has ended so poorly.
Elite managers want a preseason. They want to work with the team as much as possible off season. So Only those names that always get banded about will come in the middle of a relegation battle. That’s how I see it. The likes of Allardyce and Gerrard. 🤦🏼♂️😀
Emery joined Villa when they were below us in the league..
They’d only played 11 games. So still early. Was thinking more of those who have taken over after Xmas.
I say Xmas because unless we are terrible before then I wouldn’t change it until then.Also Villa were in their 4th season in PL. Not 1st like us.
I wouldnt blame Farke if he walked. Since day 1 hes always openly said what is needed. Dealt with all the shit of that first summer, and then gets screwed over each window that comes and goes. And he knows the backlash that will come with it. Why bother adding another relegation to your CV
I wonder how Farke is seen in Europe. If you’re a Champions League club with a good squad that is struggling, would you consider Farke?
Hmm. I think the only type that would, would be a Turkish team. The others don't tend to risk it that much
It is mad but what is the reason for this incompetence-if it is Underwood’s incompetence then he should be sacked.
We need grownups in the room.
But that could be a huge gamble and an absolute disaster, because if we were to be too far behind at Xmas we’d have an even bigger hill to climb and much less games to recover in.
Well whether intentional or just incompetent, that looks like what we’re doing. I haven’t given hope. If Nmecha, Okafor and DCL find their form and all avoid injury and if our current players bring up their level, and we get some luck…
I like Nmecha but I’d like him to be more direct and if DCL comes off he could be one of the signings of the season. But it’s all ifs and buts and other than Stach (who was terrible v Arsenal) all our signings are gambles and meh 🤷🏻♀️
We have to hit on every one of those gambles, which TBF is really unfair to the players
Agreed
Not disagreeing but Farke has said we need 2 forwards in for the last 2/3 weeks publicly , wtf have recruitment been doing?
I’m not mad either but really disappointed. I feel for Farke. A top guy and good manager being shafted by his own people. He will shoulder all the blame especially amongst those on the other site.
He'll be fired by November because his employers have cut his legs off. Maybe they really want Mourinho so have assembled the most cautious squad they can afford?
If we don’t get Wilson over the line and go on as we are, Underwood wants sacking. Window has been open for 3 months. And we are leaving it to last 30 minutes!Its laughable.🤦🏼♂️🤣
Yep totally. I’d add that even if we pull of a miraculous survival, Underwood needs replacing. Unbelievably poor decision by 49ers to put him in charge of such a vital window.
