Re: TRAFFORD (AGAIN)

Quite honestly, I just don't care any more. Kompany has brought in about 30 players since he arrived and spent more money in the process than any previous manager. If, after that, he can't find eleven players to us out of the bottom three, he deserves to go. Whether or not the club can afford to sac...

One thing we have to look forward to next season is hopefully the lack of VAR. (Unless it's brought into the Championship.)
