ETH?Whoever pushed for him needs sacking.

Quite obviously notETH?
The most annoying thing for me was the “workrate”The amount of annoying tacticos making long posts and threads about how much he’d improve us was puke worthy. Even worse was all of the chelsea fans trying to tell me how great he was too
The new DVB
Quite obviously not
Are we at the stage now where we pretend the manager never wanted him?
Blind hope and optimism I suppose. Speaking up about it when he signed just raised criticism about football knowledge and credited those as naysayers. Hard to argue against people who actually watch a lot more football but still can’t tell the good from the bad.I genuinely don't know what players some were watching when so many on here were confidently saying Mount was better. Same when people said Donny and Sancho were better signings than Grealish would be.
Every bad signing is a club signing and every good signing is the manager’s signing. Has been the case for the entire post SAF era according to our fanbase
Quite obviously yes because he was the one who denanded him. Are you now rewriting history?Quite obviously not
Well, Antony is clearly the manager's signing. I think Mount was the affordable available option forwarded by Murtough and his team.
ETH?
Nonsense, they don't even play the same position. Casemiro was the option they went for after FDJ. Can his fanboys stop with the lies?Mount and Onana money would of got us
He wants FDJ he got Mount.
Exactly, the repeated news all summer was Mount was ETH's first choice midfield signingAnd that is based on?...

Yes he fecking did!Quite obviously not
Experiment was shortly lived, not good enough to play central midfield and is of better use closer to the goal. Doesn't compliment Bruno.
Saying how good Bruno is would be lovely, but not sure that's important?
Unless you meant complement?
Another reason why ETH shouldn't be given another pound to spend. 90% of the Café realized that Mount wouldn't work. ETH is Sunday league.Money, flush, drain
I remember reading that ETH was obsessed with signing Mount as he saw him as pivotal to the system he wanted to play.
But once again there are posters on here that will do anything to deflect away from an underperforming manager.
I will be nitpick here. ETH may want these players, but he doesn't decide the fee. They don't have alternative to suggest and choose the easy way by using club transfer budget irresponsibly , so they can keep the head coach happy.
So even if the "directors" try to shift the blame to ETH, these muppets still deserve bigger share of the blame. Let a manager bully you around when your role is supposed to be the boss is a sign of incompetency in the highest order.
How so? He only had one year left on his contract. If there is a time to ride hard bargain, it should have been this time, especially for a player who was mostly out of form last season, and never a superstar.The fee for Mount was never going to be less than we paid so I think ETH has to take the blame on this signing.
At what? Because it certainly is not football.Mount is doing ok. Not the problem currently

Mount was our first signing this summer. Should have held out until the deadline like we usually do for many of our key signings the pre date ETH reign.Apparently that's what we did. Chelsea wanted 65 mil originally and we held out to the date that Chelsea had to sell for fair play purposes.
