Would u not think that the HeadCoach/manager should have a final veto on signings? Is this not a good thing? It's not necessarily good or bad. The issue is the public airing of the process.

In what world do you agree a fee, wages, medical and then ask the manager “so do you want him?” This whole story is weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media reported the interest in Sarr, yes there may have been genuine interest but the club never said anything and if the club will make a decision to buy him or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 If this is true. There are obviously major cracks in the management and staff. The manager and director of football can't be at war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HalfTimePost Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 6 minutes ago, Peter Griffin said: And the majority of the negativity was toward Gerrard. Would this mean that fans now like Gerrard? I doubt it. Nobody is against us having Sarr as a player. We all know he's good. We're against Gerrard signing a winger when he doesn't utilise wingers and failing to address the massive holes in his current team, even changing his mental formation to include wingers wouldn't fix the midfield issues. People want either/all of Midfield, Defence and Management Team sorted first, probably in that order, there's no point signing Sarr before atleast two of those are done. Nobody is kicking off about signing Sarr because we think he's shite, we just already have Buendia and Bailey and he won't fix our issues and we might only have one more transfer in us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chindie Posted August 21, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 I don't think people has a problem with signing Sarr. He's a good player. It just doesn't make a lick of sense. We don't play with wingers. We've made no attempt at playing with wingers. We've actively tried to get rid of wide players, not tried to see whether they could do a job. We spent preseason not trying winger focused formations a tactics. So it's a bit weird to suddenly, in late August, spend £25m on a winger. It also puts a question mark on why we aren't spending on positions we have glaring issues with first. But buying Sarr isn't a bad thing, provided we spend to fill the problems we have that he doesn't solve. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best for them to agree between themselves before - we've had an offer accepted, - he's done a medical - agreed personal terms - Gerrard himself has called him to convince him to come. - All of the above are reported nationally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this not a good thing? No, demonstrably not in modern football when coaches last an average of 18 months but player contracts are an average of four years. That’s the whole point of the structure. Coach should be one voice but definitely not a final choice. (This is just a point on structure though, I haven’t followed what has or hasn’t happened in this case and am not making any point about Gerrard/Lange/Purslow etc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I also love the idea that Gerrard, Lange and Purslow have sat in a room and brainstormed how best to convince Sarr to join. Gerrard calls, and after perfectly executing their plan, and a long negotiation, they finally convince their man we're the club for him, to the tune of nearly £30,000,000. Gerrard hangs up the phone: "Yeah actually, can one of you call him back and say I had my fingers crossed behind my back so it don't count" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted August 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2022 I have absolutely no idea what is going on with this transfer. Were we ever really in for him? Did we ever meet agreement on wages/fees? Did Gerrard truly pull the plug? What I do know is this: This reeks of panic. Not what we want at this stage of the season.
