Brilliant performance, felt in control for the most part. Martinez and a partner make so much difference. Really well set up tactically too. Great to have the FA Cup after so long.
Whether we do win or not, for all this stuff to be coming out on the eve of a final is just ridiculous.
By all means sack him after it, win or lose, but the media management is atrocious.
The hope was that INEOS would be better operators. They have come into a shit show, but the signs aren't good at the start.
The manager should go, but there is a cup final to try and win first.
It seems strange that that's the case. Do Villa have a large wage bill? Would Luiz be most likely to be cashed in on? A good player, but think he could be replaced.
Will still be interesting to see what Monchi does this summer anyway.
The easiest complication to fix is getting rid of the "clear and obvious" stuff. It just adds further second guessing to a situation that doesn't need it. If it looks like it should have been a mistake on a decision in the box, or a red card...
He wouldn't be top of the list of my players to move towards the exit, but if a big money offer comes in then I think it needs to be considered as I don't think we have too many players who can command a fee that can help trigger a team/squad...
Well that's partly the point. If seasoned media operators with incredible CVs are getting a very tough time during rough spells of performance then what chance does a novice have? Unless the decision makers are convinced that the novice is very...
I just don't see how McKenna could be the answer. He would get destroyed by the media the second the form hits a rough patch. He looks like a very good coach, but the credit isn't in the bank yet to get through the inevitable rough spells that...
I like him a lot. But some of the posts from people talking about how he turned Spurs around in the first half of the season were mad and massively premature, agenda driven or not.
I think he is as good a bet as any to get Spurs in the right...
Best to wait until next season before making minds up on him I would think. He came in when Olise and Eze were fit together for a spell, which really ups the level of that Palace side.
It's more difficult to keep it going than it is to get off...
