I'd love to see him carry the ball forward more as he can stride past players and open the game up

The club has been quiet about his appointment but seems a very good move. Strong track record and would have been great connections at Kings League and Wasserman

Out of interest why would it be odd to dismiss one D of F and then get a new one ? It's pretty much how football works. Clearly they didn't think Montague was up to it so they dismissed him, replacing him would be the obvious thing to do surely ?

When reading the content it's quite clear that it wasn't created by chatGPT as there is too much opinion based content in there for it to be wholly AI made. It looks like it's been cleaned up by ChatGPT, which personally i think is a good use of the technology. I also have no issue with...

he has been asked to play as an 8 which is not his position and it's no wonder he looks like a headless chicken because that is what our 8's are asked to do. Chase people down, work backwards and support the winger. The role the manager has them playing isn't to create, drive into the box or...

It is tactical, Sheehan explained it in the fans forum. My 12 year old pointed out the obvious risk of it and the response was that not many players had the quality to expose it.

Montague was lined up by Coleman months before. Williams was asked about it frequently by media. The dynamic before end of feb was Coleman, Cravatt and Cohen running things. This changed significantly in late February/early March with Coleman moving out and then essentially Cravatt and Cohen...

i saw a linkedin message from him earlier saying he had been dismissed too

I think it's fair to say that the takeover and immediate investment was the start of the dial moving but things seem to have really ramped up since the move to take Coleman out of chairman role. What we have seen since is the owners group taking full control and a real change in how the club...

That wasn't his role, it was the role of Gorringe to negotiate and get the deals done. Gorringe himself confirmed this

This is where the Trust needs to be much more active, they are the ones who should be pushing for far more local focus, protecting the interests of local supporters etc. Kits being out earlier would have been optimal but I’d imagine the snoop dogg alignment has delayed it a fair bit. The...

Agree with much of that, but no reason why you can’t maximise the value of local support base and tap into the more temporary international one. Influencer marketing exposure is incredibly valuable when you are looking for commercial partners, sponsors etc as it becomes all about reach. The...

My kids are 12 and 16 and they are going mad over it. I wouldn’t understimate his fame among the youth of today. The guy has 90 million Instagram followers 👀

The proof will always be in the pudding mate. But people will undervalue the importance of having people who genuinely care and are engaged. That in itself is a huge difference between these guys and Kaplan and Levien. We have to remember that the new ownership have only had control since end...

Not at all mate 👍
