Do people honestly believe we haven't been trying to buy players. We have a budget and maybe we don't want to exceed it. Players are asking for daft wages right now, but many of you would happily just pay up, yeah. Glad you lot ain't in charge.
This bulls*** about Parish being exempt from criticism in some people's eyes. What are we to blame him for? Bringing us our most successful spell ever? I'm sure he's made mistakes, but he's always done what he thinks is best for the club and if I was in his place I would do exactly the same. I'm personally sick and tired of kick and Cavalry charge football hit towards the big man. After 30+ years it's time for a change, so I really hope it works for FdB.

KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

Parish is desperate for us to be an attractive, footballing team. His preferred managers, Burley, Holloway and Pardew all failed to achieve this. Pulis, Warnock and Allardyce were all reluctant appointments, brought in to "do a job".
Parish brought in FDB despite there being other more pragmatic managers who were a better fit. His ambitions for the club are admirable and I hope he succeeds this time. But history's not on his side.

Yes I am hanging on to the "Only one game" argument.

It might take for FDB to get his ideas across to the extent that we play to his style and aspiration but in an unforgiving PL, time is a very precious comodity.Three or four successive defeats and I might change my tune !

Why do people say limitations of present staff???

There is more depth there than I can remember, we have spent over 50 millions this year on defenders.

A goal-keeper is needed but I don't see any more happening.

If Sakho is to come here Christian or Wilf would have to be sold to balance the books.

Attractive football no thank you we want to win.

Its amazing how exciting winning is.

I weren't never good at them adding or taking away sums and s*** . and me Englis wernt not never no good eiver. If palave gets 100 million for staying in the premier league every year and we spend 8 million on a player from the cheese place . What happened to the rest of it. Does it get devided up between the owners or what . It definitely don't go on new players .

Obviously at the end of the month, we know how much investment will be made. I'm not against doing this season on a budget but we should of looked at the manger that would of suited our current players. The fact we previously struggled to play are more expansive style are sending the alarm bells ringing. Yes it's one game can de Boer use this as a learning curve. I have always thought we need that extra midfield in the premier league. This new system is flawed until we at least get a decent right wingback. Puncheon was poor in a 3 man midfield last season, of course he gonna be less effective when played in a 2. If de Boer can be flexible and can change formation to be appropriate for the opponents , then I'm prepared to reassess my thoughts under 10 to 12 games. Last thing we need is the players to lose confidence again.
