The Hiddink Thread

The most awful season, the most awful manager.

I cant even start to express my disgust with him. Just look at that line up. If JT was fit, would even Baba be starting? Honestly Guss, are you kidding us. A lot of fans around the bridge have started calling him Gutless Guss and rightly so.

First Jose and now him. What a sad season. Cant wait for it to simply end. Shit players, Shit manager.

Yeah disappointed too. 

Nothing to play for and does not even play the youth. 

Doesn't matter if we win or lose. 

[King11Didier 916]

Clueless.

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

WHAT A FUCKING JOKE YOU ARE GUUS. NO WONDER NETHERLANDS WERE SHIT UNDER YOU. THE PREMIER LEAGUE MUST BAN MANAGERS FROM NETHERLANDS MANAGING IN THE EPL AND TO STOP MANAGERS FROM PLAYING PLAYERS OUT OF POSITION.

The club Is a business, there to make a profit. League position Is Important, for Instance there Is around £13m difference In revenue between finishing 9th or 10th.

Yeah I'm sure on a commercial level the club wants us to clinch a Europa spot if we can (if things go a certain way, 8th will be granted a place). 

On a sporting level I'd rather we bloody avoid it so we can focus solely on the title race next season. No need to worry about finishing 4th, finish in the top 2.

and we'd be more likely to finish 9th, playing rlc in a viable midfield.

This must be news to Roman.

If Roman wanted to make money he'd have been better off bunging his dosh into an interest bearing account. Heck, even an account that didn't pay interest would have worked out better, financially speaking. If I were to take a turn at putting an alternative motive into Roman's mind, I'd say he isn't interested in profit for its own sake but rather he just wants the club to pay its way while the team plays well and wins things. That's to say, successful team - break even club, is much more attractive to our owner than unsuccessful team - profitable club.

Now, even an idiot like me would obviously choose successful team - profitable club if possible, but my guess is that making money is not Roman's principal goal. All the evidence of his history at Stamford Bridge suggests he'd rather see his football budget on the pitch than in his bank account.

Premier League prize money is made up of three separate payments, two of which will be unaffected by our final league position. Those two, the equal share component and the facility fee are now fixed and would not change whether we finished first or last. The only part which varies with our place in the table is the merit based payment and that changes by £1.2m per place, not £13m. I know one table which appears to show a difference of about £13.45m between the team finishing 9th and the one finishing 10th. The team it lists in 9th place Liverpool with a total of £89.9m from TV money. If they were to drop to 10th their TV payout would change to £88.7m.

That said, I would prefer to stay ahead of Stoke and catch Southampton if we can. That would give us an outside shot at the Europa League and playing in that competition would be good for our youngsters. Good in that there would then be more games and more games gives Antonio more opportunities to use kids if he wants to. If I were Conte I would have asked the club to try to qualify for the Europa League. None of us can say that we know that he has not done this.

Winning the Europa League would bring us back into CL.

Better we use all opportunities, perhaps we don't make top 4 next season.

This fucking embarassment is on you and only YOU.

Just FUCK OFF. 

Fire him and give holland the management for the last games.

Shambles. 

[Fernando 6,585]

Totally disappointing.

Now I have no good feeling for next season the way we are finishing.
