Graham and Jose came to us. Hoddle went to Chelsea. Benitez went to Everton. Mark Hughes managed City. Conte went to Inter etc. Shit happens.
I don’t know that I could bear to follow football any more. Don’t think i could stomach it. The fact is poch was far different to anyone else we’ve had in my life time. He was Spurs. He transformed us. But we blew it since then. I hate Chelsea even more than Woolwich nowadays so it’s too much.
Its cool if you’re happy with it. But I’m not. If stuff doesn’t mean anything then whats the point anyway.
Totally forgot about Redknapp. And then he went to Pompey again:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/62298603/51837803.jpg.0.jpg)
Of course it's going to hurt if he goes to the chavs and I will not feel the same about him. I hate that club as much as that lot down the road, and sometimes, even more.
Would happily take losing 6-1 every game for the rest of this season in order to get Poch back instead of letting him go there.
Incredibly sad.
Football fans are the ficklest individuals on the planet.
Liverpool fans loved John Henry two years ago. Now there’s a huge FSG Out movement.
Woolwich fans wanted Kroenke out a couple of years ago now they love him more than some of the fans on this forum. They may go back to hating him by the end of the season or next year if he flirts with success and fails to deliver.
ENIC were 90 minutes away from being loved under Poch. A decent run or a trophy under a new manager and Danny Boy becomes the poster child for the ‘little engine that could’ again for the majority.
It is funny how some of our fans praise them as a model example of how to run a football club now when they were hated for years. But apparently our owners are the worst and its stupid to think that things can turn around with them when thats exactly what happened over there.
Kroenke's had since 2007. 15 years later they suddenly figured out how to properly run a football club.
They've had since 2001.
They are unequivocally not that, on several levels.
They do demonstrate the potential in putting an organizational structure in place where football people make football decisions and are all pulling in the same direction under a coherent vision.
The Kroenke's have been far from perfect, Edu has been far from perfect, Arteta has been far from perfect.
But they've made better decisions more often than we have over the past 4-5 years, and are marginally more willing to leverage their comparable economic power. Fine margins.
The idea that because some other club suddenly got competent for a short period of time we should all wait around for our own lot to get competent despite there being zero signs whatsoever of this is beyond naive. How many countless examples of clubs continually being stupid exist against the example of Woolwich making smart decisions lately?
Is it 100% impossible ENIC get their shit together? No. Would anybody sensible bet on it? Absolutely not, nothing about the people in place at the club (Incl players) give us any reasons to be optimistic. We're much more likely to have 4-5 seasons in the wilderness, like Woolwich did BEFORE the getting together of their shit.
Let him go for fuck sake.
It's football. We sacked him, he can go where he likes. Shit goes round.
What difference does it make? We're not making the decisions so I don't really see the problem with hoping for the best. Especially when I'm constantly hearing Woolwich being used a measure for success.
Hoddle went there. Do you say fuck him as well?
