So while he might say "I like these Dutch players and trust them, can we look at bringing them in" unless they meet the data criteria that Edwards and co work to, it's unlikely to happen. So I doubt very much there will be a Ten Haag-like influx of Dutch players.
Yeah I think FSG deliberately created the structure prior to the appintment of the new head coach and that would have been part of the negotiation as to how and why Edwards and Ward have agreed to return.

Yeah I think so. While Klopp has been great for our success, to me it looks like it came at a price behind the scenes a bit. We seem to have put back in something like the higher structures that were in place 8 years ago but now with a new "coach" and not new "manager", so those lines can't get blurred. Didn't work with Brendan because he was a manager (and probably had little faith in Comolli, unsurprisingly) and didn't ultimately work with Klopp as "manager" either (given the incumbents he was meant to work "with" both left and he ended up doing it all).
This way, assuming our sporting dept do their jobs competently, there should be less possibility of a seismic shift if future coaches leave.

Yours was several weeks ago,
Whereas your challenge was over 6 months ago. 
From a city or arsenal fan maybe as a bit of a laugh.
8 from 18 in April was never going to be enough. Had a good go though, and far closer than I expected.

I think it’s because I’m older but I really have “leaving fatigue “ now. I really miss the old way of doing things. Paisley, Fagan, gave notice they were going. There was no media hysteria to talk about it every week. No internet noise either. No endless “yet another 1 last interview”. It was an accepted fact, people just got on with it. The world knows Klopp is going, it doesn’t really need endless media nonsense. And now a big leaving event after the season has ended where you can buy tickets to see him answer the same questions again and wave a tearful farewell.
Not even bothered about these last 2 games. I just want to see how the new regime starts and pans out now, this season is done.

I just avoid all the crap, I don’t watch pre match or post match interviews, press conferences, any of it and it suits me fine.Not even bothered about these last 2 games. I just want to see how the new regime starts and pans out now, this season is done.

Must admit this season I have found myself sticking the match on just before KO, avoiding the useless blablabla, and switching off once full time hits. Old and grumpy I think. Or maybe I've just heard JK respond to the same nonsense for 8 years and it's pointless. Fast Bug said:
I have my fingers crossed for a miracle from West Ham or Spurs. Anyone buy City to win it for me
I am surprised at myself that I think I'd rather City win it.Arsenal are on the verge of being a really decent team and winning it might help them kick on.
City are just going to keep at it until Pep leaves as it doesn't look like anything will come from the FFP stuff.
Yeah, it seems like neutrals are meant to want Arsenal to win it, but being London based (I was born in Liverpool, mind you) I simply can't.
City winning it will mean nothing. Same old. No-one cares.
Arsenal winning would be a really big deal, and I selfishly want us to be remembered as the only team who really competed against their rule breaking.

My thoughts exactly.City winning it will mean nothing. Same old. No-one cares.

I couldn't give a hoot who won it
Same here. I've got what I hoped for out of this season, a place in the new format CL.Get his one finished, get the new boss in and lets see what him, Edwards and the rest of the team have planned for us. Going to be an interesting summer I'm sure and I'm looking forward to watching it pan out.
