What - not even to support the manager?Because it's over a training ground matter, something which the only outcome is the manager gives the player an ultimatum, fight for your place or you're being sold, it's as simple as that as ten Hag is trying to set stick to rules he's made. The DoF should never be involved in training ground matters, or a player attempting to undermine the manager.
Even if we did make background check and found out he has bit of attitude at Dortmund and tend to be lazy in training, do you really think that would effectively stopped us from signing him?Not our job to do background checks
It doesn't necessarily need to stop a signing, but it should be a reason to look closely at what kind of special care this lazy fecker might need to perform, instead of just assuming that you are going to sign a reasonable sensible and motivated adult.Even if we did make background check and found out he has bit of attitude at Dortmund and tend to be lazy in training, do you really think that would effectively stopped us from signing him?
I mean back then he was only 20, young English lad and very talented kid. Scored 20 goals 20 assists in a season at Dortmund, already one of most productive player in Europe, and was highly rated as top 3 youngsters in the world along the likes of Mbappe and Haaland. He was also good friend of Rashford and wanted to come and join us, and we badly need right wing reinforcement.
And then we have a scout reporting he was kind of lazy in training and has a bit of attitude. And so we called off the transfer? Really?
Shouldn’t Sancho be getting his mum on the case at this point?
That’s the done thing now.
It's a player personnel matter (ie. the player isn't playing yet his receiving a salary). The DOF has every right to get involved.Because it's over a training ground matter, something which the only outcome is the manager gives the player an ultimatum, fight for your place or you're being sold, it's as simple as that as ten Hag is trying to set stick to rules he's made.

The only way to resolve this is for Sancho to gain the managers trust again by training to the expected level, that's it.
Jadon Sancho will remain on a personal training programme away from the first-team group, pending resolution of a squad discipline issue.
It was a player breaking rules set by the manager and not training to the required standard, the DoF should not have stood in and allowed the manager to control the matter.It's a player personnel matter (ie. the player isn't playing yet his receiving a salary).

Sancho isn't a kid. He's a grown man. There comes a point in life where people need to take responsibility for their own behaviour and be held accountable when they aren't performing as they're expected toThe question we need to ask is:
How are we managing to not get the most out of the players we have?
How good is the management at communicating with the players and coach them to be the best they can be, not only on the pitch and training ground, but in every part of being a professional footballer.
We are talking about kids here, they need guidance almost every step of the way, and Sancho seems to need it more than others. In stead of alianating him, ETH should have worked harder with him. There's a world class footballer in him.
If we give up on him and let him go, he'll explode at the right club.
Do you think they're investigating whether they can sack him/reach the sort of agreement they did with Ronaldo?
It's great to see ETH has finally brought discipline to moments FC, I sense Ole was probably like the supply teacher that came in and did fun lessons and people were given a lot of rope...
Shame as he had glimmers of the ability but the application for whatever reason wasn't there
Surely Pellistri will be given a go now?
Statement FC
More statements than goals so far this season. aye aye aye
Who was the last good winger we signed? Antonio Valencia?
He was certainly last very good right winger, and even then he wasn’t top tier or anything.Who was the last good winger we signed? Antonio Valencia?
Same character as Henderson, Lingard and other brittish players that thought they were good players when truth is they are in best case average. Just because you sign contract, that doesn’t mean you are good.
Sell him. Nothing more, nothing less.
