approached someone with Champions League experience to be manager

I like Tommy but I wish he would say less sometimes.
Reading that interview it comes over as an American PR exercise and other owners have made similar promises since 2007. I also dont like the way he disassociates himself from the ticketing fiasco of last season "our staff", he must have signed off the initiatives. Hopefully, it will all come together up in Accrington!
Respond with context.
Benitez is the only one I can think of who fits all those criteria and isn't currently in a much better job.
Di Matteo and Rijkaard the other trophies bit doesn't seem to fit.
Talks such a load of bollox.
Last season was a lesson learned when even when you are giving thousands of tickets that does not many will flood into your stadium if the product is inadequate
Guess it could be a player that won the Champions League/other European leagues? If Sandgaard genuinely went after a manager who has won those competitions I’m half impressed half concerned.
I'm not anti TS at all but just say it as I see it. I was grateful for him saving us from the thieving scumbags who preceded him but have been more than underwhelmed ever since. If you come in shouting your mouth off about where the club was going to be within 5 years then you have to at least make a start to deliver on those promises. I don't see any progress at all and my expectations for the coming season are as low as they have ever been.
I mean he's just come to England as well, as Manager of Blackburn Rovers
All gimmicks and style over substance which makes the new NFT sponsorship very fitting.
Deliver then talk and show.
Him
And
Him
...
at the end of the day I think everyone knows by now that you need to take whatever he says with a pinch of salt
Given time more will realise he's not what he appears
You were sold a pup Tommy. Deal with it.
Just say since Dowie was appointed 15 odd years ago !
After the blow this league out of the water remark which boosted the season tickets 12 months ago to about 10k and we started in relegation form, prefer action to words.
The difference in wages between recruiting a European champions League winner and a Division 2 manager must be 10 fold.
Avron Grant might come cheap !
Under promise, over deliver
Avoid doing interviews with S*n, a sensationalist rag that just wants a click bait headline.
Under promise, over deliver
It's the past 15 years, not the past two decades, we've been badly run, we were doing fine in 2002.
Finally, under promise, over deliver
He loves the spotlight, that's just who he is. I don't believe he's here to BS us. I tend to believe that he's simply an optimistic fella who lets his mouth run away with excitement sometimes.
I appreciate having someone at the top who is as excited about the football as we fans. As long as the club remains ambitious and I can watch them play every Saturday, I couldn't care less about "promises" of the Premier League in five years or European football in 10. They're lofty targets but they're not something to crucify the man over.
My health has benefitted hugely from not taking everything TS says at face value.
