The way the club has got into this mess is of course mismanagement going back years, but we are where we are.

Dont expect to much vs Chelsea, but BHA and WB they need results, or frankly he's gone, and then what.
As much as i want to blame the owners, they have overseen an overhaul that has given much if not all of the shaping of the club over to Edu. So yes, its on them, but its also on him, and frankly he has been inept.
First one that needs to be shown the door, and if you sack MA then Edu needs to be gone at the same time. Someone on the board, who is based in this country needs to be appointed to oversee with checks and balances on whats going on.
Edu allowed the shaping of the squad in the summer, trying to ostracise players so that they leave and then of course they dont, has allowed for a situation that off field, players have taken sides. This has seeped through the squad and the club is broken because of it.
So much is seeping out of Colney now that its a situation that cant go on. The club need to show the door to players on Jan 1, not Jan 10, or Jan 28th on JAN 1 - pay them off and be gone.
Nobody is paying money for these players, and if the club isnt willing to do that, then frankly this process of backing the manager is meaningless, he will be gone because events will take over.
That will be 4 managers that many of these players will have seen the back of. Nows the time the club sees the back of these players.
Why are they even training with the 1st team anyway, What good is set piece routines if Ozil, or Sok, or Saliba is involved in them if there is no chance said players will be playing with the other players on a matchday.
And not in anyway advocating that the manager is not at major fault here.
If the goalkeeper last night is good enough, and of course he isn't, and should never represent us again then so you would have thought was Saliba. Why no ESR from the start, who with one pass forward did more than any of our MF have done this season.
Why was the summer allowed to fall apart with no creative midfielder being brought in, thats at Edu's door? Again, though had plenty of time to sign players from his own agents stable, and over rewards said players. 4yrs for a backup full back??
This is as dire situation as ive seen at the club going back to the 80's. Players treading water, not caring and actively undermining this manager and previous ones, with an owner who has overseen as the majority shareholder the degradation of club to where we are now.
So now what, scrape round for loans for Jan? Who can even advocate spending money if we dont even know the manager will be there at the end of Jan, let alone a new manager not wanting the previous managers signings.
It does always take time, but in general people get found out, Mark Hughes and Kia at City and QPR anyone?
Sven walked out when he saw what he was dealing with, ook at what he's delivered up where he is now. In turn we brought in a marketing man from Barcelona who paid £72m for player (not his fault) probably worth £25m,& has people wondering where was the oversight on that transfer!
So, simple choice now, back him and remove the issues straight away, or sack him, and then what, and more importantly who, as we may as well just wait for the summer for a new man if they wont action whats needed on the player front in Jan.

New from me:

I’m launching my Forecasting For SEO course next month.

It’s everything I’ve learned, tried and tested about SEO forecasting.

The course: https://t.co/bovuIns9OZ

Following along 👇

Why forecasting?

Last year I launched
https://t.co/I6osuvrGAK to provide reliable forecasts to SEO teams.

It went crazy.

I also noticed an appetite for learning more about forecasting and reached out on Twitter to gauge interest:

The interest encouraged me to make a start...

I’ve also been inspired by what others are doing: @tom_hirst, @dvassallo and @azarchick 👏👏

And their guts to be build so openly in public.

So here goes it...

In the last 2 years I’ve only written 3 blog posts on my site.

- Probabilistic thinking in SEO
- Rethinking technical SEO audits
- How to deliver better SEO strategies.

I only write when I feel like I’ve got something to say.

With forecasting, I’ve got something to say. 💭

There are mixed feelings about forecasting in the SEO industry.

Uncertainty is everywhere. Algorithm updates impacting rankings, economic challenges impacting demand.

It’s difficult. 😩
