    They have had a significant turnover of players in the last 18 months. But even so, their drop in standards has been quite dramatic.

    It's a disease spreading throughout the game lately; far too many players nowadays believing they can actually play football.

    And we dont want any of that sort of nonsense.

    I remember George listing the qualities he was looking for in new signings- footballing ability was a long way down the list. And almost an optional extra.

    I work with a few, a most enjoyable whatsapp group last night!

    I couldn't believe the commentators were giving some nonsense about how they're a team in transition!!! Just because they keep buying new players, does not make them in "transition"!!
