Managerial Thread - 24/25 Season - Lmaonchester Lolnited

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Not a single concrete offer arrived. Tabloid rumors of PSG interest but nope, nothing.

Honestly, at his wages, maybe not

There’s always a sucker they just didn’t put him on the market. There’s no shortage of idiots with cash in the EPL.

There wee reports that United would prefer to sell to outside the EPL and that Rashford would also approve one. But, there was never anything to warrant major interest to either sell or for Rashford to push for one.

All the Tier 1 sources reported it. The Athletic etc.

I bet they did. I don’t believe it

These were typical ETH signings. There’s nothing that isn’t ETH about them

That's your problem then. You choose to not believe reports because they don't fit you view of things/agenda.

It's not like there was any reported interest from inside the EPL either. His wages are a major deterrent due to PSR. The problem wasn't with the sporting leadership.

I don’t think I’m the one with the agenda here. My point is those signings are textbook ETH agenda signings. Certainly you can see that. It reminds me of Rodgers last summer where he got Benteke, and the committee signed Firmino. ETH got de Ligt, the committee got Yoro. Which is fine, but let’s not pretend otherwise.

I agree with this though. No one is eating those wages

Wages and the off field stuff.

As for whether they were ETH guys or not, if they suck they suck. Jury is out, but two of the three look pretty mediocre so far. And like usual, ETH plays other players over people bought.

I would also suggest that if you tried to replace a manager, probably got turned down by at least two if not more, then had to come back to your original manager, and give a pricey extension, the original manager likely had more than a little say in getting a few players he wanted.

It was a giant clown show

You can’t give into ETH there. You just can’t.

I mean, I also wouldn’t have sanctioned them buying any more Dutch/Ajax guys for a lame duck manager. So, to me at least, it wasn’t so much about offloading 30, it would have been about keeping those guys and not buying more ETH favorites. But what do I know. I just wouldn’t have given ETH more spending money

I don't disagree with this, but if the claim is "they shouldn't have sold McTom and instead sold other players, then it seems valid to ask who they actually should have sold instead.

Sure, but I also think that’s the wrong question
