When the change was made uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half

2 reader comments from a Guardian article:

SausageRollsRoyce: 
Questions need to be asked of their summer recruitment. No manager would want to have to deal with that. Which is why I don't think it's entirely Slot's fault.

They sold off all their depth. They got rid of Diaz who was so key to how they press. Szoboslai was also key to how they pressed in that 10 position. They wanted Wirtz to make up for losing Trent, but he would always take about a season to bulk up and get used to pressing in the PL.

They replaced two of the best on the ball fullbacks with two runners. So now teams just let Konate have the ball because there's no Trent to ping passes. They paired them with Salah and Gakpo, who cut inside and don't really pass to the fullback.

They needed a 6 and a CB. They got neither. Gravenberch is good, but he's not an elite 6. He's more of an 8. If he was paired with a Zubimendi/Caicedo type they'd get the best out of him.

And don't get me started on buying two expensive strikers in one window. Yes they needed replacements, but there's a reason clubs never spend Β£200m on strikers in one window.

If they'd spend the Β£125m on players they need rather than Isak they'd be in a much better position. They could've got a winger who can play false 9 or even a cheaper backup.

But they got greedy. Slot is not blameless, but that summer spending didn't help.

ZippysTeeth: Indeed. Get the director football and recruitment out from the shadows. The squad overhaul smacked of a commercial motivation only - contracts, player values, value added and lost on players (aka 'assets'). What role did the hedge fund play in maximising squad value? Seems like the ine consuderation they forgot is whether all these assets can gel as a team. Get them out in front of the cameras for once. I doubt it if Slot had much input into that at all and yet he's the one feeling the heat while the rest can all sut in relative obscurity up in the stands, grimacing and sucking their teeth.

for me, these 2 comments are the crux

what's happening on the pitch is one thing. but this turmoil was caused by problems at the organization level

even if Jota were still here & Leoni not injured there would still be this massive shake up to deal with

Release of Glenn Branca's Symphony No. 4 (Physics) Much anticipated release of a long lost recording.

I didn’t know Reg Bloor was running a Kickstarter campaign to fund an important Glenn Branca archival recording with Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo in the band until Robert Fripp (!!) shared the news on Facebook. Get yourself a piece of the action here. www.kickstarter.com/projects/reg...

I've eaten pies you people wouldn't believe. Apple crumble on fire in the second oven. I watched bear claws glitter in the dark near the abandoned mall. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

What I thought I am
I am not
What was and is
Is not
What dreams were mine
I am not
What was and is
Is not
The laughter, the tears
The fleeting years
Like pages read and turned
Are not
Gone like a sigh
Or a bird swift
In sudden flight
(Sun Ra)
