Incredible how this applies to all the teams in Europe Ange managed.

boy I sure wouldn't want to be the guy who built this team, I'm sure there's nonstop discourse about him specifically and how bad a job he's done and it's not mostly about either the people he hired or the people who hired him instead

the costs of building a bad team are dynamic, the worse you do the more it costs you

What happens when you go through two transfer windows with Scales and Trusty as your CBs and don’t attempt to upgrade on them

Sitting behind a team we finished 17 points ahead of 10 months ago and who had to replace their manager this season cos of how shite they were and sitting 7 points behind a team with a tiny budget that finished in the relegation group last season. Sack the lot.

They cant be worse than the bozos they get for Glasgow Derbies. Why they don’t just stick with Ian Crocker from the Sky broadcasts like they do every other game, I don’t know.
