The current management have put together over 70% of this squad, who seldom get blame. I find the idea that our problems are rooted in 3 players, alone, odd.
Reijnders talks about the deal with City, directly in an interview, which is framed as a reflection of our club's poor standing; and yet a report of Mike's desire is the real unprofessional behavior?
Meanwhile, the new guys brought in to clean up the mess of the management (who despite their horrific failures still have jobs) want to keep Mike, does that not underline that Mike isn't a problem?
We have had inept coaches, inept trainers, inept executives, while allowing a clown in Ibra to be the public face of our negotiations and the club--and you want me to dismiss all that, or to give some sort of "both sides" take on who is at fault?
It's not about absolving, it's about weighing responsibility relative to who is supposed to be leading this club.
