See this is where these arguments get silly. I'm not suggesting signing some world superstar right back, I am suggesting that finding a competent, specialist right back in all of world football that is prepared to join a PL football club...

We have one more points than last season (and Dyche's last full season) with a couple of games to go. If it's progress, it's incredibly modest progress despite having a transfer budget far greater thn in those two seasons. I don't think he'll...

At least we’ve enjoyed talking about it rather than actually qualifying for it

I put 9th - 12th, expecting 12th. That doesn't mean I wanted or indeed currently want us to finish 12th (although that is roughly where I still think we'll finish). It does mean, however, that I thought David Moyes was a major factor in where we...

So how do we change our position? Isn't that the point of selecting the right manager, a manager that can overachieve our position and set us on a new path? Moyes, at 60+ and with a very modest record of what might be called success, doesn't seem...

200 odd 😂 i do get your point mate

If our list consisted of three mediocre right backs, including one who was 40 years old and wasn't a right back, then that's the problem in a nutshell.

Fixed that for you.

It sets the club up for the future. They get experience and learn the game. Moyes is a negative and pragmatic manager, like Roy Hodgson. Imagine if Palace said " He is alright, let's keep him "

Ok, so another year of excuses and mediocrity. And the sad thing is you're probably right, we'll just continue to exist in this joyless limbo, just about too good to go down, not good enough to do anything of note.

Didn't he publicly say he didn't want to join us? Isn't that the sort of thing the recruitment team should have sorted out in advance of the window?

It's increasingly looking like TFGs plan for the club is to just hang around in the PL and either pay them a decent dividend or sell us on for a profit. More treading water. It's what we do, after all.

Yep, it's all so predictable and boring and depressing.

What does this mean? Why is Moyes the man to do it?

Have a list of more than two players, plan carefully before the window opens and secure your targets. If we don't sign a right back this summer will you accept that there just wasn't anybody suitable available? Or will that be a failure of...
