Guys, we had a highest place finish in God knows high long last season, can someone explain to me why the close season wasn’t about collaborations with Nuno to build on it. I get it’s been and done now but I just don’t understand what’s happened here?
When Mr M stuck with Coops in autumn 2022 he said there is no point changing the coach unless you feel there is a better coach available. Has he changed his opinion on that?

No mate. He was just as bored as we all are watching low block football.

2 star, I think nuno gave marinakis little choice, this form is just a carry on results wise from last season
I believe marinakis was angry with the home results against, brentford, fester and Everton, that cost us champions league and yet still gave nuno a new contract, but nuno still chose to speak out and that was the final straw
I also believe we couldn't sign anyone before July because of psr
Then we had the problem of not knowing what league we would play in Europe, thus the late influx of players
It's early days and not time to get downhearted yet, let's see what ange can do and the new players along side the old first before writing the season off
My belief is we couldn't sign anyone.

It worked Larry.

Yes we will see plenty of goals and excitement leading to championship football.

It did till last 8 games when coaches learned to let us have the ball and sit Deep themselves
West ham another prime example
That's where someone like sangare is a passenger as he's not needed.
14 Sep 2025 17:05:36
All guesswork Downthepub just like you saying Sangare wouldn't start against Arsenal yet he did.
14 Sep 2025 17:07:38
That looks about the perfect assement of the situation dtp. Good post.
14 Sep 2025 17:12:38
Villa have a settled squad and a few new signings, so why are they struggling?
Has emery become a bad coach suddenly or lost interest?
Football can change so quickly at a club
Someone said we won't face a worst side than brentford?
Well that prediction is looking way off.
14 Sep 2025 17:15:23
As dtp said though silkman, it didn't work at the end of last season or against a poor west ham side, even yesterday was nunoball.
Marinakas publicly stated he wants attacking attractive football mate.
14 Sep 2025 17:16:12
I doubt sangare will start again Fred and you told me how good he is.
14 Sep 2025 18:10:24
I'm not advocating whether Sangare should Start or not but let's put a bit of perspective on it.
He was motm against Chelsea in our last game of season. Had a good game against Brentford and even you admitted it!
We lose to West Ham and it's all down to him lol.
Three professional managers in Cooper, Nuno and Ange have all started him so in effect what you (and others) are saying is that you know better lol. Now just let that sink in for a moment.
If you think our recent problems are solely down to Sangare then your not watching the same games as me.

Good honest posts DTP.
14 Sep 2025 19:03:18
Fred mom or whatever the result was a loss mate
And that has happened in most the games he's played in he's not a good fit for us.
14 Sep 2025 19:16:16
That's like a school report, Arizona.
14 Sep 2025 19:21:09
Ouch my shirt tails are holding me back silkworm ???.
14 Sep 2025 21:01:27
Great usual post red fred.
14 Sep 2025 21:58:34
Good post redfred but with nuno gone somebody else must get the blame. for me though never rated sangare and never wanted us to buy him.
