So the manager then?

I don't get what you want, Dave. You've moaned for years about the DoF structure and now we've binned it, you moan about that. I can only guess that you want everything in the hands of the manager and that we should play four, four, ****ing two?

Agreed. Your strikers fluffing chances takes this out of the assisters hands, so to speak (I'm looking at you, Dominic). Fbref does some decent high level comparisons of how players compare to others in their position across Europe's top leagues...

Some people want John Stones back and we’ve got people moaning about Tete missing a handful of games in the past two seasons 🥀

He had one good goalscoring season at Frankfurt and that was an outlier for his entire career.

That ships sailed

When the Walker links started, it suddenly became clear that we were looking for a low cost choice at right back. As the available options go, I think this was the best one. I'd hope this will allow us to sell Patterson and then address the right...

Can't do you a graph, but... Shows up alright.

You're over-estimating that based on what Ornstein says... TBF, despite my annoyance at teams paying Liverpool mega money for players not in their plans, they do need a CB after Tah left and 12 months ago this would have probably been seen as...

Doak is twice the player. Think people would get bored of Fellows and his Kilbane-esque one-paced wing play pretty quickly

I think that depends greatly on who the manager is. I don't mind it in this instance given who the manager is and the circumstances, but I think there's plenty of managers knocking about who are better working with players rather than identifying...

The bedwetters aren't going to love the fact that recruitment responsibilities are so spread out. I do think that this structure works better for someone like Moyes who wants more of a say in stuff than others we've had here, without giving him...

That article in the Athletic yesterday made for very positive reading about the new structure and the people we've hired to fill these positions. It does feel like there's a plan in place, which is great to see. The one thing I'd say as a note...

Are they ridiculous vs the price points at Spurs/Liverpool/etc etc? That's your benchmark really, rather than what people were paying at Goodison

It's only scandalous if people can't/won't pay it The hospitality being expensive is what's going to make the club money and (hopefully) keep prices down for your average fan - it's no shock that they're charging a fortune for it
