if there's any truth in that tweet, you'd imagine the senior players would be talking to the director of football and whatever Edwards is these days. 

You look at what's coming out about Rosenior and you think "hmmm, that sounds familiar".

It's going to be utterly soul-destroying when we're reading similar in October but we've lost Salah, Robbo, Alisson, Virgil, Jones and more. We're watching Geertruida, Muani and Delap walking around in in red shirts whilst Alonso is top of the league with the Mancs.

All because the Sporting Directors can't be seen to have made a mistake.

This all smacks of Ten Hag lasting two years more than he should and Amorim being allowed to start this season. Everyone who watched them week-in-week-out and understands the game knew they should go and it's the same for us. Everyone knows he should get the hook but we're paying the price for the ultimate decisions being made by people who don't fully get the game still. 

I really hope it is a confluence of events this season and he can turn it around next year, I just know I've never seen anyone turn it around anywhere from this kind of malaise.

He’s not gonna turn it around. He’s being saved by individual brilliance and set pieces. 
The set up of the team is miles wide across the pitch and he picks too many players who don’t get their toe in. He can’t get the nines into it.

All the wingers and playmakers aren’t gonna fix this s***. 
He’s crap.

Eddie Howe got more from Isak with s***ter players like.

He’s being saved by Chelsea being worse. Nothing he or the team have done for him or in spite of him this season warrants him keeping his job

Yep. Absolutely zero. Everything he has done this season is mediocre. Even his interviews give an ear ache.

Feel like it’s some bizarro world all this.

Yep, we’re in exactly the same situation Utd were in. The only fans who wanted Ten Hag to remain and for Amorim to continue was the likes of us, City and Arsenal etc. The people upstairs just bury their heads in the ground pretending it’s all going to fine. They really should start using their eyes and ears more rather than relying on formulas and egos.

Feels more and more like the only thing that fixes this is player revolt. Genuine 'lost the dressing room Chelsea style' kinda thing 

Long shot but it's all we have

I said it the other day, it makes it worse that the other 2 c**** have 1 year left on their deals, dont want to extend so why the f*** are they involved in the decision making?

I've been saying for months 

"The players hate him" it's as clear as f***.

This tweet only confirms it.

The exodus out the door of half of the squad says it all. Done won't to be anywhere near him.

I can't believe they're thinking of giving that guy the City job. Is it just because he looks a bit like Pep or what?

Beggars belief that he survived after PSV. Not sure he would have at most top tier European clubs.

[Frosty Jack]

We should go moneyball again. Keeper wearing an eyepatch, defensive mid in a wheelchair.

It will raise morale and delight youngsters.

Does Alonso have a choice to not join a different club in your story book?

I'm glad world book day is going well for you

He's not going to Ajax due to his Feyenoord past.

And they are a mess also. It would be a big downgrade for him.

There are only 2 options IMO:

1. The fans turn on him big style

2. Players dont want to play for him, which is f***ing obvious since the start of the season. But they have to let it know.

But won't happen so we are stuck with him.

 

[Doyler3000]

If the players don't want to play for him then isn't it in their best interests to let that be known publicly?

I understand they might wait till the season is over to avoid disruption but to get away from him either they leave or he leaves and either scenario is helped along by a public declaration of revolt!

This is a funny thing people have started to say.

a) has he ever said anything about not taking the Ajax job due to club loyalties?

b) Ronald Koeman and several others have already done it

c) if you think he gives a crap about club loyalty, upsetting fans or whatever, I would suggest you haven’t been paying attention to what sort of person he is

Alonso won’t ever play for Madrid coz he’s Basque.
