There could be common ground without dispute. As one poster said more investment.

What about improved training facilities and a review of both the coaching and scouting facilities.

All without digs at either Ashley or Rafa.
the same scouting facilities rafa got rid off (carr)
he has reviewed the coaching staff he has his own men he has had years to turn tha around and hasnt

we still have pedro here

you cant change those without rafas say so or ashlys say so

so saying yes lets change things by finding 10 messis
every man and his dog know what we need to do to get out od f this mess
win games

how we do it or with whom as manager or owner is immaterila

yes we need a decent scouting netwrork
we had it in carr and his lot (certainly better than we have know anyway) but rafa got rid
yes we need a decent coaching staff
rafa has ahd 3 seasons to get them in (and isnt he a supposed world class coach)
and yes we need a decent training ground ,,,,,,im sure that will mae the world of differance

the truth is we need a new owner and a new manager and then a few new players

whats the point in having s****y training pitches and changing rooms
if the manager keeps dishing up the dirt we are getting
the players arent this bad

so i agree we need new pitches new coaches (including the first team coach manager)and a new or bring back the old scouting netwrok
