All this talk of what players we need to turn our season around is all very speculative with no guarantees it will change things that much. I think we have some excellent players already but the style and sluggishness of the master plan adopted by our current manager bewilders me and probably most of the squad. Hypothetical I know but I reckon if Pochettino was still here we would have this same team about half way in the league. I may be wrong but the manager seems to be the main problem for where we are in the table more than the players, why the board can't see this amazes me and a great deal of you lot out there.

Your best cb sulking from start of season would mess up most teams
It should have been sorted
Poch came into a well settled team
That needed confiedece and his team building exercises along with the vision and backing of cortese to keep teams together helped no end
Puel had help from vvd his goals and defending put a few points on the board pushed us up table
This season was clear kath wanted to sell to help pay her tax bill
That is why we are where we are
Lambert
Lovren
Adewiled
Chambers
Clyne
Shaw
Lallana
Mane
Wanyama
Van dijk
Pelle
Poch
Koeman
Puel
These have all left since cortese got forced out buy good old les and krugers propaganda
Under directions of good old kath

So now the board are sat there thinking buy players get relegated anyway then the players are instantly devalued
Or loan players get relegated cancel loans or save our selfs then mabey try make the players pernament or buy different again.

Cortèse was removed because he was trying to spend too much money and putting the clubs finances into a bit of a mess.

Cortez’s brought in reed and he left because he couldn’t get anymore money to spend and was borrowing way above the clubs want to push on apparently rubbish or bust has been tried many times and generally ends as rubbish hence he left. Don’t remember him getting another post in football either so clealry wasn’t considered that highly in the game?

87 your post is misleading. Half the players and the 2 managers you mentioned weren't even here when cortese was in charge. They were signed after he left.
