Something has to be wrong at the overall administration level or at a culture level of that club. Im looking at their squad and I just don’t think its a relegation battling squad. Should be pushing top 10. It’s underachieving horribly. I don’t believe it’s entirely Frankys fault but he definitely shoulders a chunk of the blame I feel.
That's interesting, as someone who is very very vaguely an Everton fan
I just assumed the squad was arse last season and then we had to let our striker go so we were then double arse

If they were killing it I'd maybe try and watch a game or two, that's how much of a fan I am.

Watched them a bit more when Cahill played

The squad is arse compared to the better teams, but I don’t think its a relegation squad.

It’s not a very good team, shouldn’t be in the relegation zone though. There are lot of pretty good teams in the PL these days, with good managers.

Dyche and Biesla are the bookies favourites to take the reigns

Couldn’t get much more contrasting styles than Ange/Bielsa vs Dyche.

Ange should hold out a bit longer, don’t do a Stevie G

I seriously have not seen Rashford look this dangerous ever. That goal against Arsenal and the goal today against Forest. Ooof. Don’t know if this form will last but its hard not to enjoy it while we can.

So who can tell me anything about the Baggies two new signings during the window?

We got Albrighton from Leicester who I believe is around 33 so a bit on the old side. People are saying he is still pretty good though. I've never seen him play. And we got Nathaniel Chalobah (brother of Trevor I believe) from Fulham. Apparently Fulham fans were very happy to see him go, say he's not much chop and nowhere near the calibre of his brother.

We missed out getting a young fellow from Chelsea on loan, Hutchison, but apparently they said Chelsea were too involved in another signing to get the paperwork done on time. We also missed out on a Forest player Lewis O'Brien, not sure if we have missed much there either.

the only club that does it better is benfica

sold enzo, ederson, felix, dias & nunez for over 400 million whilst it cost them less than 40mil

Bought Enzo for something like 10m a year ago and sold him for 120m. Thats just outrageous.

It really burns because Ragniack did tell United to sign Fernandez when he was available for 10m, only to be once again ignored.
