i don't doubt this to be the case.

i just call BS to the whole 'list of 20 candidates' rubbish

I think it is more PR than actually incorrect. I think Purslow is shrewd enough to have the correct paper trail to cover himself for all eventualities. I would be very surprised if there wan't a list with 20 names on it and I suspect Lange has the paper trail to show this was reduced to 4 and I also expect that we contacted the agents of the 4 candidates and spoke to each of them. The interviews may have just been a 30 min Zoom call and yes, they were probably never really in with a chance of getting the job.

Clearly a Purslow signing this, he looks chuffed. Just look at the difference on Lange compared to when we made previous signings .

 

[Tomaszk]

Something very odd about that press conference, I agree.

Gerrard the best talker.

Never heard Purslow so unsure of himself. No point in Lange being there really.

How strange.

[MaVilla]

when is Gerrard's pre match conference?

[MaVilla]

Honestly, i think Ings, Buendia & Watkins will be Gerrard type players if they put the effort in (ie: super high work rate and talented to boot), will be interesting to see how he see's Bailey, who seems a bit more of a low workrate/high talent player.

I think Sanson would also be right up Gerrard's street, if he can ever get fit.

Will also be interesting to see how he uses McGinn, it will also be interesting to see how he plans to use Ramsey and the other youth players.

I think its gutting that he wont have Luiz tomorrow, we really need a DM.

[VillanousOne]

So with Nakamba, Luiz and Sanson out Gerrard will have to start Chuk or Tim or shudder play Young in midfield....

He will start Chuk I reckon and play Young at left back

Yeah but what is your view on microsoft charging a monthly fee to access MS office instead of selling a CD?

CD? What is CD?

[Lichfield Dean]

So, instead of entering the pitch sensibly from the side, can I assume our players will now simply fade in?

Yeah I was convinced he was talking to me. My legal representative said I can’t sue because it was all factually correct.

This is from the allaboutcd website so I think this is right.

To add my bit about training timings etc 

In my view, it's not even so much about the actual " time ".

It's about discipline and structure, prioritisation, doing your " job " above all else.

Either fall in line with the structure, or seek a profession as a professional gamer etc, instead of professional footballer.

I get the arguments about " games being later anyway " but that's not the whole point IMO.

If they start earlier, they can play videogames all afternoon to their hearts content.

Let's be honest too, our bodies are designed to get optimal rest, as per the circadian rhythm. I would imagine that for athletes, this is doubly important for peak repair, rehab and performance.

So if training time and match times were consistent with each other that’s better.  Aren’t you arguing then for later training times surely?  If training is early and match times are late then you are screwing with the body clock rhythm.
