I don't care that he is so rich and has a safe and fairly successful life as a footballer (I know that he has been unsuccessful compared to some other top professionals in the premier league, e.g. Rooney, but compared to thousands of other players around the world). Money helps, but doesn't buy...
OK, so we agree on the time :) Regarding what "progress" is - I wrote that using the premise of the OP that progress is (best?) judged by the league position. I actually agree with that. But sure - there are other factors, it's just that they are so difficult to quantify. Also, I didn't include...
Above all - Soldado. It's not that we'll be getting much in return, it's that we have to free up that spot of a second striker. We have to move forward. Right now, every time I am watching him I'm thinking "OK, for some reason, it didn't work out at all for that guy - when is the replacement...
Without a doubt, we had fantastic times under his tenure. However, I really didn't like how he behaved with the media (much like I didn't like it when Sherwood was managing). I also didn't feel that he was improving as a manager at the end - more like stagnating.
These "coming back" stories...
Oh I agree that we should be patient. I don't dispute the things you said. 2 years not enough? 3, 4, 5? Please, give the number that you think is right.
Yes, all teams around improve - as do we. I've never disputed that. However, the only way to move forward is to either massively outspend...
Crouch was a very nice guy, I agree with you all. However, I was SOOO happy when we sold him - the only player more frustrating than him was Defoe. Crouchie was quite poor for us - 93 games, 24 goals. Like you said - top guy and all, but I am glad he is not with us anymore. Hopefully, he can...
I use BBC sports news app and Talksport app for news. You can also listen to commentaries via the latter. I find both to be designed very well - especially the talksport app.
I also find Livescore great if you just want to know the scores/line-ups/assists. You can easily tell it to give you...
I don't think they are slipping. I think they are stagnating. I hate to admit it, but year after year, I've been overly impressed by how they manage to always do very well and stay in the top four, with fairly little investment compared to the others.
If we were to ever come structurally on par...
