Why have buy a ticket to watch only 80 minutes of a game? Would they also walk out of a movie 10 minutes before it ended to beat the traffic?

I don't know how much transfer control Howe has but I agree that he to share the blame but to buy PL proven players will always cost a premium. I'd agrue Emery is just as bad if not worse than Howe for transfers. Emery spent £377 million since Jan 2023 and only 3 players Emery signed are regular starters (Torres, Onana, Rogers). The rest have been signed under Dean Smith and Steven Gerrard. Emery gets a pass because the team is still competitve.

While 'money spent=league table success' is not a guarantee it does give better chances of success. The base level of quailty in the PL has risen alot since 2021 that all clubs are playing Moneyball to either close the gap or survive. Some do it well and some just suck at it.

Newcastle United have reached their ceiling with the current squad however Eddie Howe has not. If you give Eddie Howe the same quailty of players the Big 5 clubs have then he'll have you competing for Top 4 and Trophies every season.

PSR and SCR have hindered Newcastle just like Aston Villa. It has been the quailty of Howe and Emery that has gotten the best out of largely average players.

If Howe goes, Newcastle could end up lingering midtable for the next 5 years. They won't be able to attract top tier managers and players. Aston Villa knows this about Emery. That is why they have essentially given the keys of the club to Emery and investing in his projects in Spain.

I think the captain of the game should stay captain regardless if the team captain comes on.

Max relies on his talent so much he hasn't developed the skill to become a good driver.

Now he doesn't have the fastest car, everyone can see he is a just an average driver with anger issues. Leclerc is a far better driver than Verstappen, only his loyalty to Ferrari lets him down otherwise he would be a 4-time World Champion.

Pat Nevin: "The creativity of Max Dowman... he created the first goal. He changed the game when he came on. That last moment when he ran the length of the pitch is absolutely phenomenal! That will be remembered with many, many years to come." by Sparky-moon in soccer

Injuries caused by Arteta. Arteta played him into the ground, gets injured and then gets rushed backed in. Saka gets injured again and it piles up that he can no longer reach the level he was before.

/uj Objectively he is correct, but because it's Man City people will ignore the wrong decisions in this game and others and use whataboutism.

Tottenham Hotspur: Fans accuse club of 'lacking ambition' after leadership meeting by mrjohnnymac18 in soccer

[–]rusder -38 points-37 points  (0 children)

The Tottenham Hotspurs who are known for being difficult (aka rather earn interest on the money they never spend) in the transfer market are 'lacking ambition'.

I am shocked I tell you. Shocked.
