Nothing wrong with simplicity, in the right place NT.

Simple answer; NO.


why ignore the context though, why ignore the fact that he's working in an environment where we had to change from an unsustainable model to a model of sustainability. I'm not trying to make excuses but you can't ignore the context.


You're quite right FIBD and I agree completely.

I did add the qualifier "in the right place", but I suppose I could/should have expanded on this.

All in all though, Txixi has a lot of questions to answer.

Our model has changed now our transfers fees are financed by our huge revenue, not the Sheikh's own funds.

We are still spending huge sums each season and are generally the biggest spenders. Furthermore, we recoup less than our rivals when selling players so our net spend is by far the largest.

He has wasted so much money on bad buys and left our squad so unbalanced that, for me, shows he has failed at his task.

No doubt mate, but like I've said before it's difficult as a fan looking in from the outside to form an understanding of exactly what he's responsible for.

I trust Khaldoon to make the right call here as he has all the facts at hand.

I acknowledge that there's been some errors mate and gambles that haven't paid off but who would you personally say are bad buys? And do you think that we have made more bad buys under Txiki's watch than our rivals?
