I will not invest my life energy into some yank billionaires for-profit schemes Make no mistake about it. The Gallagher sale if it happens, is a Wyss- driven, pure profit move. Profit from the investment made by Roman in the Cobham academy. Sell Cobham youth for profit, and buy dregs to fill up the squad.

milka 3,393 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) The fans need to wake up to see what is going on behind the scenes trust the process what is the process to sabotage the club with unprofessional decisions to gutted identity on the club for the next 10 years so this process is on . Making money is all about . You can't just buy 15 kids and throw them in at the same time and to expect everything to click and everyone of them will be a super star in 2 years football doesn't work like that especially when these kids don't have people to learn from. This is illussion if they think this will work .At the moment, every win we get will only fuel this illusion that their project is working. But reality is we are worse and worse breaking every negative record . Edited December 25, 2023 by milka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also why all the incoming signings are made to sign long term contracts to keep them locked down on those wages for as long as possible. lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see certain things from players which have different weights. Ball control, for example, if pretty fucking high in importance for me, so when I see players struggling controlling the football well that's also a big fucking red flag for me. It's hardly the first time I've seen Conor taking a few extra touches to control the football, show too much of it, or having a poor first touch. Perhaps the fact he's been one of our best player shows exactly the (poor) level we are at? 🤷♂️ Would he be a starter at Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Tottenham, or even Newcastle? can't see that myself tbh.

He’d only standout at a shit team or a top team having an awful season. And even then he’d stand out by “his effort” not by scoring a load of goals. “At least he looks like he’s trying “ - simple Passion merchant robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we have to win stuff for our value to increase ? For what they spending we should to ask . They don't even take the best of the best in the children they buy and for which they propagandize . They are spending to build this Multiclub project with clubs from Europe to develop like Salzburg, Leipzig , flip flop players around is all about They even admit that Chelsea was bought cheap because of the sanctions, otherwise Abramovich would have asked for much more. They accept Chelsea as a business and when they build the new stadium and turn the wheel a few more times they will present this product to the next buyer from whom they will take double what they gave for the club. Their whole idea is profit, not building a successful club.They don't care about PL , CL etc they will push to create a Super League with the other teams , closed league like in USA . Sweet words cannot hide the truth that we continue to be tragic even against teams like Luton, Palace, Preston. When Pochettino comes out and says that 10place is something normal, then the red flag should light up brightly . And we have 1 billion spent on our backs and we are still crying out for a striker.

Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted January 10, 2024 Share Posted January 10, 2024 The emails I get from the club are embarrassing. They seem to want us to think we're riding a huge successful wave, more so than at any other time, rather than the biggest slump in results for more than 30 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if the ticket holding fans protested and then refused to go in and watch the game, an empty or half empty stadium would really have an effect on their investment..

Not disagreeing with your points before, but this one is actually a non-issue IMO. Managers will always protect their players, and that takes whichever form necessary. You will only see otherwise when the manager wants out, and/or lost the backing of the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milka 3,393 Posted January 11, 2024 Share Posted January 11, 2024 Get an elite manager, change the module, that's our only salvation, everything else just killing us. Mourinho will be free in the summer, get him to kick the asses of these guys in the squad to build a structure like he built 20 years ago. But they won't do that because no elite manager is cooperating with that plan they have . And he will want classy proven players which they will not give him. So mid table is our reality . lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
