We need to talk about David

More like you were bitching about signings and internal promotions. 


 

NUFC:
The nix haven’t finished top of the table, won a trophy or even been in a grand final. 

By a c*%#> hair they missed finishing top bud. They weren’t doing nothing. It was our best ever season just two ago. That’s the path, just a little more.

I do enjoy the analysis of ‘No title BAAAD!’ but it seems unlikely that we’re going to find Klopp, Ireola or Ancelloti’s partner  working in our academy the way we attracted Bev. 

Your main points are: the Nix haven’t won, so they must be sh*>$. 
This logic is now contorted in: Greenie was an academy coach when we didn’t win the title, so he can’t win. 

The last coaching revelation was Milligan. I wanna hear from this brains trust who the next one will be. 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Jets have won the league multiple times already?

This is exactly what I’m talking about.  “In 18 years we came so close that one time”….

Auckland have done it all in their first 2 years. Made NZ history. 

Yeh the first time was when Dura played for them 20 years ago. Before he joined us.

Nothing for twenty years. 

And yes, I’m not a miserable git, I’m going to celebrate my team’s best performance ever, even if they didn’t win. And hope it’s a sign we can do better. Sure you refused to celebrate the Carabao Cup because it wasn’t the league for your Geordie muppets. Then you’ll refuse to celebrate the PL if you win because it isn’t the Champions League.

Yes, f-face, this Auckland team is exceptional. 

I’d probably spend all day thinking about that. I bet Beckham spends all day crying and wailing cos he ain’t Messi. 

If you applied your bs to Newcastle you’d have been supporting Manchester Red long ago.

You’re arguing against yourself at this point. Maybe put the drink down, fella.

Of course I celebrated the cup win. Why wouldn’t I? 

Of course I won’t change what team I support, not sure what you’re on about. I just want my teams to win.

Clubs with bigger resources effectively can buy a better chance of being in the finals playoffs more often, potentially year in, year out.  That is why we see Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC in the top six more often than CCM or the Jets.  Someone more up to date with the stats than me could do a correlation table of different clubs' financial acumen (if such data exists unless you use a proxy marker of some kind) versus table position at the end of the season, for the past I do not know maybe 6-10 years unless their financial position changed drastically like Western United. It would be interesting to see if there are clubs that despite their lower acumen consistently punch above their weight. How they do that could give us some food for thought instead of descending into a bunfight.

On a couple of points about Dome I would beg to differ but basically I agree completely with you.

One of the major issues is that the nix have their fingers in too many pies. 

Therefore some of those pies haven’t been cooked properly, some are missing key ingredients and some have exceeded their expiry date. 

The pie company to compound matters have branched off into loosely related side business (sausage rolls, quiches, donuts etc) but are not really good at any of them.

One or two on their product range will actually give you food poisoning.

Now, Dome rightly or wrongly is the key baker for this pie company and the front man. When he fucks up a pie these days he try’s to justify it and not fix the problem.

In the old days he had a monopoly and only baked a couple of pies. He would never burn them and they would be delicious. A few customers still remember those pies and stand by the baker. Their loyalty whilst admirable may result in severe food poisoning and the loss of the bakery’s food hygiene rating.

A pie company up the road has came along and immediately got their recipe correct, temperature settings are perfect for their brand, the oven is nice and clean and they know not to complicate things too much. Pies are what they do.

The public love these pies and will travel a long way to get them. Being proactive they are even being delivered. They are getting great exposure in the media. Ovens are being cleaned daily.

The  baker in Wellington has thought fuck my monopoly is over but rather then adjusting he goes on the counterattack (criticising their new ovens, recipes and even posts the odd bad review on social media). 

He is so busy burning his sausage rolls in his dirty oven that he has no time to make great pies anymore.

Now, there are reasons why after 9 years, New Zelanders vote out a previous popular prime minister and even why a US president can only stand for two terms.

What I will say is that Dome has doubled those figures and sometimes change is good.

Everyone on here, knows someone who has been in a job too long (hell sometimes it has even been you)

Others have known and bitten off more than they can chew.

Terrible analogy BTW.

Ummm exactly, that’s what I said.

Ten years tops.
