Just for clarification I do not dislike Ismael as a person but for the things he did, mainly--
1 Cheating on other football clubs, fans and players whilst at Linz, Austria, breaking Covid Austrian FA Rules. It was serious enough to warrant LASK Linz being docked points and him being sacked. I was against his appointment for that reason--I suppose it's called having a moral compass.
2 Bringing in awful football, with a hoofball and" 'Ave it" style, sh1ihousery, time wasting and spoiling anti football tactics ( apart from the second half at Bournemouth). I suppose it's called paying money to be entertained football wise rather than a win is all that matters attitude.
I'm just an old school purist who thought you could both be entertained and win as in the early 80's, 1997 and 2016.
