My mom accidentally joined a neighborhood group chat meant for divorced dads. Nobody knows how she got added. Instead of leaving, she started giving them advice. Within two weeks, she was reminding them about school picture day, suggesting lunch recipes, and telling them to drink more water. One guy posted that his ex-wife was getting remarried, and my mom replied, "Good. Now focus on your lawn. It's embarrassing." Apparently, they LOVE her. Yesterday they invited her to their monthly barbecue. My dad asked why she was going. She said, "Those men need supervision.”
No surprises on the Hurricanes’ initial availability report.
Cornerback Xavier Lucas and defensive end Marquise Lightfoot are available, as Mario Cristobal said Monday. Additionally, offensive lineman Max Buchanan is out, as previously announced.
"If you're a player and you stay SILENT, then you're COMPLICIT in the DEGRADATION and DESTRUCTION to this football club"
Goldbridge doesn't hold back this morning!
"Lisandro Martínez deserves a lot of credit for having 'THE COJONES' to go after the Manchester United hierarchy."
It takes a lot of courage to call-out the bosses, says @JOYPAULIAN 🗣️
💣 Martinez doubles down on his criticism of the board: "For sure when you watch the games on TV, you see the players and manager and you point the finger, which is right, we take that responsibility. But as a club, I expect more. I'm not going to close my mouth. We need more ambition." [via @CBSSportsGolazo] #mufc
Lisandro Martinez putting the pressure where it should ultimately be, on the ownership and hierarchy at Manchester United for their decision-making and the direction of the club.
He is correct in saying that the performances have been “a reflection” of the club itself and that accountability stretches well beyond who is in the dugout plus the players.
There can be no argument that the squad is lacking depth, quality, balance and the right profiles.
He also nails it in terms of cycling through managers, but not having any question marks over what’s happening upstairs.
United openly interviewed around Europe for Erik ten Hag’s successor, only to keep him and arm him with new coaches and circa £200m in players before sacking him and his staff for £10.4m.
They hired Ruben Amorim despite knowing the squad - which they allowed EtH to shape - was so ill-suited to his approach. They were very aware Amorim was unwavering on his philosophy and promised to persevere with both him and it.
Only to then try to dictate style, system and selections to him. They stuck with Michael Carrick only to sell him very short.
Let’s not forget the big, long play to the tune of £3m to get Dan Ashworth, before paying £4.1m to axe him after five months.
If the performances on the pitch are a mess, they speak to the state of play off the pitch.
🚨 Lisandro Martinez when asked if Carrick was backed properly: “I don’t think so. He did his best”.
“I expected MORE investments in the summer”, told Amazon.
