Not seen an explanation there about why Lee Grant retiring is evidence of things moving quickly. Or Lingard leaving by choice for nothing instead of being sold in the summer or January is evidence of things moving quickly. Or Lense and Arnas leaving as intended who only joined because we took so long to get a permanent manager. Just in relation to this thread, Murtough has been football Director for 15 months and is only just getting a Deputy, not the quickest.
I don’t know why people get so sensitive about people who just don’t lap everything up. Notice I said the club moves slowly, not Woodward or Murtough. Maybe you got confused but they’re not the club, and if you look at last ten years and think we don’t move slowly then good luck to you.
If you find people sensitive, it might be because they make some sort of reaction when you say things like ‘good luck to you’, and that you are a bit sensitive yourself to those reactions. I don’t know. It sounds very condescending though. And I should know.
What you deflect from, however, is that by or by crook, this is a time of vast personnel change at the club. The reasons, or as you might prefer, the blame, is irrelevant to that fact, it is a fact regardless. That means that things, and even less so ‘everything’, are not moving slow now. The last ten years does not hold much predictive value, as we are already in an anomaly, and the personell is different, and the structures are different. I can only guess you would like to be certain about what is going to happen and talk as if you know what’s going down and everyone who doesn’t are self-deceptive or gullible or something like it, but you really don’t know wether the club is being slow and reactionary or speedy and revolutionary at the moment. The past doesn’t hold the answer. It might be interesting, who knows?
