The lack of patience in football

[SaddVillan]

An interesting read for fans of clubs at whatever level. Pulis has some very interesting things to say.

His style of football was horrendous but I can’t disagree with this. Unfortunately the game today is covered 24/7 by a media whose thirst for shock and awe headlines make it impossible for many to be given time. Hopefully the long term deal we’ve given our manager means the owners allow him to build our club.

Ha!

[Richard E]

Bugger patience. I’m 52 and I need to see us win the FA Cup before I cark it.

This all day long with bells on

[Risso]

It’s not about being patient with the wrong person though. Patience got us years of Paul Lambert.

Any idea which players left Huddersfield last summer, presumably they had a few on loan?
They must be half decent to go from playoff final to bottom.

Him and McPhee kicked-back last night smoking dope together with some tinnies and Creedence Clearwater on Bluetooth speaker.

9 players left:

6 were at the end of their contracts: Álex Vallejo, Reece Brown, Jamal Blackman, Fraizer Campbell, Naby Sarr and Carel Eiting.

And 3 loanees who went back to their clubs: Levi Colwill, Danel Sinani and Tino Anjorin.

Huddersfield have been under pressure financially and the ownership has changed. You have to wonder if that's had an effect on their ability to recruit and retain players; which in turn translates into results?

[Villafirst]

Basically it boils down to a lot of dumb owners with little knowledge of the game.

[Pete3206]

It's been decades of 'jam tomorrow' at the Villa. Well fuck that, lets get moving and put everything into challenging for the domestic trophies next season.

[pauliewalnuts]

We've been patient for 27 years now. I think that's quite enough.

[Chris Smith]

Agreed, but impatience also gets you Steven Gerrard and wasting 12 months after getting rid of Dean Smith.

Owners, fans and players are always in a hurry. It’s understandable as you look at other how clubs are progressing and want some for yourself but it’s always best done with a plan rather than just hoping the next bloke will strike lucky,

[London Villan]

You have to be in a hurry, otherwise your best players get cherry-picked.

Kamara and Emi would be the two I'm most worried about this coming summer.
