Not been on for a while and forgot a little about the fans that have no clue how a club is run, but nonetheless express discontent like they do.
Firstly, unfortunately whilst it is a football club, IT IS also a business.
Secondly, it is a team sport and the best teams are made up of a collection of players with a certain quality then ‘tuned into one another, tuned into an approach, tactic (s) and strategy, tuned into a managerial capability, club ethos and culture, etc’.
Teams who buy ‘individuals’ that act like individuals, no matter what quality, most definitely struggle!
Whilst. all teams ultimately have some prized assets (as fans might see them) they are all relatively short term assets typically.

So all fans have no clue how a club is run? Tell us what makes you an exception?

None of us had any idea how to run a football club Leek and that’s his point and is what makes all of the histrionics so difficult to listen to.
It’s fine if you are part of the club and have knowledge on the situation but we don’t. Doesn’t stop people whining though does it?
People are just so entitled these days and if things don’t work out exactly as they want they fly off the handle. Sad really.

Leek - it's like how fans have no real idea of how the contract negotiations are going other than that there hasn't been a contract signed. Speculation as to why the contracts haven't been signed are delivered by people on here as fact and absolute statements are made about certain people and the club.

Exactly Beckers!
Hard and frustrating to have to explain the simple I know but thank you!

I read give and in fairness to WoW I think he was just offering an opinion, which pretty much everyone does on this site. It don’t make him right it don’t make him wrong and he may or may not have the same view as our manager, we don’t know.
As you can see from my posts on this subject I share a similar opinion about “potentially” disruptive characters to a “team”. Don’t mean I’m right means I have an opinion.
I love the harmony, I love the fact that our superstars act like the team are superstars and not them alone. It’s a team sport and their level of humbleness affords the team or actually squad a great morale offering!
We saw a PSG team full of “superstars” self proclaimed as well as publically in the past whilst we now see a superstar “team” that is fairing so much better without self proclamation. We saw it with Madrid in the past. I also believe that Man U’s plight is not down alone to poor team signings (as a collective ability they should really be higher - not high high but higher) and I think that their best “individual” player has far from helped that - he has attitude but wrong attitude for me and that can offer disruption.
All that said IT IS MY OPINION much the same (but some different) as others.

Let’s hope that is very wrong - I expect it to be! One thing I think Klopp and Arne have in common is to ensure they pick the right characters, characters that help build and maintain a team ethos. We don’t need a disruptive individualist IMO hopefully and expectantly in Slot’s too.

He can go Man U and help Bruno destroy the little morale left in some of the squad - happy to watch and grin at a distance. We can meantime look at players that know what a team sport requires decent individual ability / skills and exceptional team skills!

If the 2 key ones stay it’s a win, win. We don’t have close to replacements thus far for them and, despite age, they are world class! Trent has a world class attribute we know, but his whole game is far from world class and I don’t believe it will become that with Madrid. He’s a good lad he’s been a decent servant and I wish him well whilst I hopefully can delight at the retention I personally wanted. Both of these guys are also team first and after all it’s a team game.

Don’t rate Tarko one bit. Braithwaite ok for me but let’s face it they ain’t blowing the prem away with their ability to defend a bottom 6 finish.
Quansah I like at least as much as Braithwaite but more than anything o like that Slot is using him moderately and trying to build his confidence.
Remains to be seen if he will ultimately make it, same with Braithwaite. Tarko has and will continue to be (as long as he continues) a relegation battler!

The best individuals are often not the best for a team. I love the fact that many a player would not join us as a superstar and continue to act as part of a superstar team as opposed to an individual. Long long may it continue……particularly if our success continues.

This club is well run well organised and, above all, GREAT!
Like every organisation, team or individual I. All walks of life unfortunate or upsetting instances, even mistakes, will occur but it is how and what you make of those in forward growth and momentum that closes the chapter.
The title is almost here and it is time to rejoice then go again because I am certain that with this great club there will be many many more of this going again stuff!
Just love it!
YNWA.
