Description

#877 | Ed and Wayne skip the usual NQAT awards ceremony and dive into the end-of-season mailbag instead. Bruno Fernandes was Player of the Year, obviously. THat's all. Answering questions from listeners, they discuss the club's financial struggle and speculate about the complexities of offloading unwanted players. Concerns over failed transfers, management inefficiencies, and the club's declining global brand are also highlighted. Questions also dive into historical failures in recruitment and ponder the worst players signed by Sir Alex Ferguson. Also, there's a strangely long discussion about who would win a wheelbarrow race among footballing brothers.
