But the supposed reason isnt logical, people are questioning it rather than agreeing and parroting it. We wont consider free agents because they wont be up to speed. So a bloke who we knew would be injured for months surely would also be a no go for the same reason.

You could ask Kenny Dalglish the same question.

So you expect that that there are great things to be said about the environment within a football club owned by Venkys (who couldnt be arsed showing up to our anniversary) and one being run by Suhail, Gestede and Owen? He will be talking about the club he remembers.

The pre pouring of drinks has been something mentioned over such a long period of time. Many people will just not bother having a pint at half time because of the queues, its impossible to avoid missing a chunk of either the first or second half. And it never seems to change.

The owners were the ones taking us down.

Theyve signed big money signings that need to work out, and in Isak and Wirtz, they are top players, hardly gambles who had scored loads in a lesser league or anything like that. The team you would think sooner rather than later needs to be built around them. It feels with the latter like they are trying to squeeze him in to a similar iteration of their previous template for a team. Theyve for a while been 433, had a hard working, selfless and energetic midfield and central striker with the 2 wide men providing the goal threat, which was pretty much all Salah once Mane left. As a result, he was excused from defending. Last season they pretty much played the same team every week, getting fortunate with injuries. To fully charge forward with a reset, I do wonder if Salah's role needs to reduce, hard while he is at the club, and/or they need a new manager to see it as a total change. They cant give Salah a responsibility free role on the right and give Wirtz time in his best position, I dont think. Leaves them too open.

Its incredible how for someone who moved on from annoyance at Eustace telling a white lie in a press conference "ages ago", it has been mentioned so many times whereas with 15 years of constant lies, barely a murmur.

He definitely is not shocking. I do have doubts about him, he is rash and has a mistake in him (see Bristol City away) and hes also not the best on the ball. I am sick of the throw too although obviously thats the managers responsibility. Im still not sure what his best position is, but there is something to work with. Celtic should coast to the league with the resources they have (even allowing for the fact they have spent less this season) and likely will now a big chunk of toxicity has gone, Hearts starting well got people giddy but they likely will revert to the mean. Rangers should be more competitive but theyve totally wasted so much money, mainly on crap from England.

The club ie the owners and board were at fault for far more than that.

I get that but to say that its purely a footballing decision when youve got a potential big pay increase and a location change is blatantly untrue. As a football decision I think you can make an argument either way. At Wolves, its guaranteed instant Premier League football, the only way he gets that. Expectations are very low, he wont get loads of blame if they go down. If he pulls off survival, and Burnley and Leeds are in danger, hes a miracle worker. Assuming they go down, theyd be big favourites, big resources and a good chance of then gaining some momentum. If he got sacked before then, it wont damage his reputation too much if at all. At Boro, they are fighting with a lot of teams for a top 2 place. Couldnt say its a likelihood they go up, less than 50% chance for sure. Play offs is more likely, and is obviously a lottery. Gets them up either way, big reputation boost but they arent a stand out team so I would say more chance they dont and his reputation is unchanged. He is bitter about Eustace because its the only way to divert blame away from the real culprits because he doesnt want to criticise the club.

None of that explains why it is ONLY a footballing decision and he shouldnt consider non footballing factors.

The lengths you are going to to make Eustace seem like the villain, redirecting again away from the people who let him down and keep letting us down, have become beyond a joke. Not clapping a fanbase that were giving him stick.

The squad isnt good enough or deep enough regardless of formation to be honest. But a back 3 and front 2 means there is absolutely no alternative in either position and leaves 2 reasonable squad members in the squad (left backs) out of the picture. You at least have 3 wide men (Miroshita, De Neve, Hedges) for 2 positions and 2 strikers for 1 position.

You havent explained why it is only a footballing decision, and money and location dont play a part. You often say you repeatedly have explained something when you havent.

Well yes, but they wouldnt continue without any articles to read. Factual or otherwise. Either way, we both know how January windows go here.
