Why would you protect them? I dunno ... possibly because you’ve spent years buying into their corporate spin hook...line...and sinker...and by admitting you were wrong now would mean admitting the "frugal model" was a myth. You don't need to be on the payroll to act as a shield... your posts do the job for them anyway even if it isn't intended.Originally Posted by jozza800
Why would I be protecting the owners? I've got nothing to gain from them other than the effect they have on the club. What a strange stance.
"They woke up to the cold hard reality". Again, when did they wake up to Slot's inability to manage the team? After he'd won a title?
I'm not sure i'd let a manager I wasn't convinced about play with Ł500m worth of new toys.
Think you're giving them far too much credit!
And you are still trapped in this loop about Slot - completely missing the point for the third time. They didn’t wake up to Slot’s inability before spending the money...they spent the money in a blind panic because the Klopp safety net was gone... and they realised a normal manager - lord knows ANY manager couldn't keep performing net-spend miracles with a depleted squad. They didn't hand Slot "500m of new toys" because they trusted him blindly... they did it because they realised the squad's asset value was about to plummet off a cliff without serious backing. It was a chaotic... reactive over-correction...an admission to all the things I levelled at them for years... and the fact that Slot has turned out to be completely useless and completely blew the tactical balance just proves how badly the board botched the whole transition.
Talk about giving them too much credit... you’re the one pretending this Ł450 million scattergun spree was some deeply calculated...mastermind plan from the boardroom. It was pure...unadulterated post-Klopp panic - and the 20 defeats and 5th-place finish are the exact receipt.
