2020/21 Marcel Brands

[Bob Elstone]

He was at the game. Saw photos with fans on social media. Wonder what he’s thinking watching a lot of his overpriced dross on the pitch.
Gets paid a fortune to dish that up.

 

[Paulie]

The only continuity Brands is concerned with involves his contract.

You know what's mad, David Moyes was a better DoF than Walsh and Brands and he had the job of managing the team too.

Needs to do something urgently

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

I'm starting to think he actually goes out to buy normal jeans and ends up with jeans that are too tight and have holes in.

I'm losing faith in his ability to spot a quality denim.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Has not got a clue. Squad is awful and hes had plenty of time.

He signed Iwobi which says it all.

 

[Street end man]

Bet his Mrs doesn't let him do the shopping. He'd come home with bag fulls of outdated turdliness

I wonder what the Asda equivalent of Iwobi is?

Probably spends the whole food budget on napkins and blames supermarket ffp rules when he gets home.

Should have been sacked

Didn't even need to sack him, his contract was up - a perfect opportunity to just get rid with no hassle.

I'd argue it's the first time in Moshiri's tenure that we've rewarded a failure. Mosh runs this place like some mad drunkard but he's never suffered fools. Martinez, Koeman, Walsh and Silva were all fired out of a cannon very quickly. Brands however has managed to survive with a plum new deal despite the fact that he's been a monstrous failure and deserves to be spoken about in the same breath as Walsh.

Perhaps us fans are overstating the impact of FFP and what we are actually witnessing this summer is an orchestrated withdrawal from all of Moshiri's previous ambitions by the man himself? It's possible that hiring Benitez, retaining Brands, offering to sell James Rodriguez etc are all just ways of preserving a form of mediocrity so that Moshiri can properly safeguard his investment until the stadium is complete.

Seems happy enough trousering a big wedge for playing Smithers to Moshiri's Mr Burns...which is who he's running the Club like.
...release the hounds

 

[davek]

We need this feller out before we can move forward.

He's like a dead weight on the squad.

There we go

Posters thinking that they have a say in what Moshiri / Uzmanov will do over Brands...the manager they were determined to hire and who's lost one game so far.

They couldn't give a monkey's what you think.
Stop making yourselves ill with the bile and fury. Accept it and maybe get behind the team.

 

[davek]

There we go

Does that mean I think they listen top me?

 

[orly]

There we go

He's magnificent in the vaults on Koeman during his tenure.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

You know what's mad, David Moyes was a better DoF than Walsh and Brands and he had the job of managing the team too.

It’s completely and utterly ridiculous when you put it like that. Incredible. To add to it, Moyes was operating on a fraction of the budget.

We don’t listen to you Dave
