- Spent loads of money
- Too many draws, not enough wins
- Exciting, attacking, younger players not being picked
- Fell out with everybody
- Demanded some more money to spend
- Stropped off
Pure Karanka. Absolute fraud this bloke. Trading off the name of Mourinho who's also been found out. |
All those bullet points could apply to Mourinho as well couldn't they.
Maybe that was your point?
I read the Diego Torres biography of Mourinho a couple of years ago. The Real Madrid players hated Karanka almost as much as they did Mourinho. He was just Mourinho's lapdog, a yes man with absolutely no personality, insight or coaching ideas. |  | | |

That's exactly the long game Hoos is playing.
From our interview with him earlier this season....
Playing devil’s advocate, why not gamble again? Are we to just resign ourselves to sitting in the middle of the Championship balancing the books forever more?
Two reasons. One, history has shown money doesn’t buy you everything. Look at what Huddersfield did, Burnley did, Sheffield United are doing. Money isn’t always the answer. Secondly, if you did decide to do it, what if 20 other teams all decide to gamble that year as well? There’s still only three going up, and the other 17 would be left to reflect on it not working out and then what?
Well, exactly, then what? Because we don’t know what the punishments are do we?
We’ll find out soon because there are clubs that are going to be in the dock for this soon and it’s been widely reported that the league will push for a 12-point deduction.
Every March every club has to submit Future Financial Information (FFI) to the league, and you wouldn’t be able to lie on that because the league knows what player contracts you’re committed to and they’re your biggest source of expense. They can see how much you’re going to lose and can see if you’re going to breach at which point they step in and your only way out then is to sell a lot of players over the summer. They monitor it, they can see if you’re going to be in breach and if that’s the case then even before they’ve seen that third set of audited accounts they can take action. If you think you can slip under the radar and by the time they realise it you’re in the Premier League, it tends not to work that way.
I think it’s changed the way clubs are going to be run moving forwards. A manager can’t just come in and say ‘I want this player, this player and this player’ any more. You have to look at the future impact of committing to three- and four-year contracts. We’re constantly running future scenarios and not just worrying about the current season. We’ve used the loan market this season because if we’d gone out and tried to buy those three players, or their equivalent, that would have been at least a three-year commitment going forwards at a time when we’re about to lose our parachute payments. It’s trying to balance costs and revenues as best we can.

It’s a unique scenario really. A lot of fans of clubs and many pundits in the media who are at this time still blissfully ignorant, will only realise the damage FFP is doing when they start to see physical points deductions being implemented. It’s likely that if or when it happens, it will throw the division into complete turmoil. Worst case - Sheff Wednesday, Forest, Villa, Birmingham could all be starting next season on minus 12 points and transfer embargoes to boot. That’s one hell of a unnatural relegation scrap and almost like a free hit for the teams you’d expect to be down there. It will be funny at first, but after a while, possibly makes a bit of a mockery of football. |  | | |

Well said, was thinking the same... Mouriniho and Hughes in a nutshell. |  | | |

Why do people think our manager is number 1 poaching target for managerless clubs? We're doing OK, but we're 9th, that's hardly tearing it up! |
Because we've spent the last decade running endless threads about whether or not the manager should be sacked and who we should get in; and now we're revelling in the fact that we've got one we want to keep while all round are sacking theirs.
Savour it, people. | | | |

Blimey. Their owner sounds like Briatore. No one has a divine right to be in the top 6 just because they've spent money. Also seems to me they're gonna be looking over their shoulder with the FA if they fail to get up. I can see a big unrest with the players they have there. Sounds like they have far too many to keep happy. Oh well s hit happens. | | | |
