Ed001 am I correct in saying that you were always weary of Hughes being appointed?
{Ed001's Note - yes, he was chosen because he is a friend of Edwards.}

It's amazing Hughes and Edwards only getting focused in on now. The collapse had to happen before questions were asked about just how good/ bad a job they're doing.
I said when we had interest in frimpong it would be a waste of money. Fans moaned at me. a lot of money was not used wisely and effectively in the summer. Kerkez had an ok game yesterday but I didn't fancy him either but Hughes liked him. We needed 3 top centre backs. We bought a potentially very good kid. I have no time for the excuses on geuhi. There were plenty of options within a full summer transfer window.
Diaz sold and a winger not sought but "gakpo would be great for the star kid developing".
Sticking to Hughes and Edwards. The left side of the team was weakened this summer window and in Central defence we stuck by a terrible player who wanted to do the club over to get his way like trent.
Of course we could speak about the midfield issues aswell but apparently grav is a "worldly 6".
We need a manager that knows what this league demands and do more cleaning of the squad. Jones, gakpo, endo, macca, gomez should be sold for fees in the summer.

I’ll be honest I was over the moon with the summer transfer window. We broke the British transfer record twice.
I have no idea what Edwards and Hughes do day to day with the club but I do know that they don’t pick the team or set the tactics and formation etc.
Not saying they are blameless but the manager takes the credit when it’s going well so has to carry the can when it’s not.

They should just appoint you as director of football, Batman7, you clearly have much greater clarity of vision than the board does, just sell all the decent squad players that you don't fancy and replace them with world class options, easy peasy!

Thank you Patrick. Ed025 would be my understudy. He'd have a muzzle on and just sign the papers for me.
{Ed025's Note - i would need new boots though Batman...because i would be doing a lot of arse kicking mate.. :)

We had a great window, we had the best team last and impressed massively but Slots tactics have driven us backwards faster than Lando Norris can drive is F1 car. From February he stuck to his guns and we where awful before then the amount of times we where behind in games and he reverted back to Klopps tactics and relied on Salah magic to wins us games is uncountable.
For him to have the same amount of league titles as Klopp and more than Gerrard shows how luck can count for more than ability.
