Agreed. Most clubs have a strategy that looks a few years ahead. Not sure what the difference between a strategy, approach or project is really.

It’s easy to deride things when they aren’t going well, but whether what we’re doing is a “project” or just an approach, it appeals to me and I’ve been more engaged over the last 2 years than I have been for a long time.

Re: REPORT: Clarets suffer a damaging defeat at Everton

Sounds to have been a hugely disappointing performance yesterday, but I always think you should search for mitigations, and I do think there's one yesterday that has been under-explored.

Do you want people to have a massive pile on Muric? He contributes so much more in a positive way than Trafford, that’s probably why there aren’t any threads on him. We had one shot on target. You can’t pin everything on him today, even though that was a huge turning point. I think Muric is great. ...
