“I evaluated all the offers on the table and even though the Arsenal job was more high-profile, challenging and ultimately more rewarding, I realised I had a small dick and therefore pussied out…ahem…I mean found the Sevilla project well within my comfort zone and so opted for the route that demonstrates I have no ambition whatsoever.”

Sounds like we dodged a bullet, to be honest.

Time to forget about this small dicker.

Probably took a quick peek at his ‘expectations’ vs. ‘resources’ situation if came here and then skipped downstairs and booked 10-ish flights to Sevilla just in case the first few ones get lost in the Bermuda triangle :giroud:

“Their project”- to finish in the Europa League at best?
Go after Luis Campos from Lille. He’s the dood who built Monaco and discovered Mbappe. Chelsea have been sniffing around him for quite some time apparently.

Wealthy Spaniard in prefers Spain to England shocker.
I know lots of people from countries like Portugal and Spain who hate living in the UK. Everything is expensive, the weather is shit, the food is shit and you can’t get a real espresso.

(Don’t kill me lads, I love London 
I agree.
Let’s also not forget how attractive a prospect is of coming back to your home town after a stint far away from home.
Not if you’re from Stoke it isn’t

Depends how much you like pottery
Funny how amazing home can be for some. I know a mate born in Sheffield who rants about Rome being known for being built on 7 hills… yet no one gives a shit that Sheffield is also built on 7 hills

Rip off merchants.
The fact that food is shit in the UK is a myth, London more so. It can be just as shit in Spain, you’ll catch campylobacter just by walking in some of the shops.
Obviously scared by the pressure that would have been involved in the Arsenal job.

I was kind of surprised to read Monchi say at his press conference that he wanted to go one way and I wanted to go another way
I appreciate that Monchi never set out to fail at Roma but I want to make something very clear; right from the start, I was very clear about the direction I wanted us to go in and that’s why we spent a lot of money bringing Monchi in.
From the start, I said I wanted first class coaches, first class performance staff, first class medical staff, first class scouting and recruitment and a first class football organisation. I gave Monchi the keys to deliver that. I gave him 100% control to appoint the coach he wanted, to employ the assistant coaches and the performance staff, to manage the scouting and to bring in the players he wanted. If you look at our results and our performances, it’s clear that this hasn’t worked.
In November, when our season was going from bad to worse and everyone could see that the coach was struggling to get a reaction out of the players, I asked Monchi for his Plan B should things continue to get worse. He had sole responsibility for football operations at Roma but he didn’t have a Plan B. That was November. He said his Plan B was just to keep doing the same as Plan A.
So, if I read or listen to the radio interviews he’s giving where he says that the idea of the ownership was different to his and that is why he left, please let me know what Monchi wanted to do differently? He asked me to trust him and let him do it his way. We gave him complete control and now we have more injuries than we’ve ever had and are in danger of missing out on finishing in the Top 3 for the first time since 2014.

Mental that he literally had the control of an entire club.

I notice he has been demoted from ‘John’, to ’ '.
Rightfully so imo, he can’t quit on us if we quit on him first.

What annoys me about all this is I had no idea who this cunt was before we were interested in him and I don’t really understand why I should care that we were interested in him.
Like what is actually wrong with the sport when we’re turning the limelight towards scouts and agents. What’s next do we start getting excited over signing the best tea lady in the game.
I feel as fans we’re giving these blokes way too much fame and recognition when the reality is they’ve just got a cushy ass job through nepotism.
