I'll give them a piece of my mind...

 

[Monkey Bastard Hands]

Although obviously dictated by COVID, I am actually quite pleased to see a good old fashioned pre-season campaign at home and not in some far flung country 3 days before the start of the season.

All for the club's charity endeavour's but I am sceptical of this one. You'd assume there's going to be some element of TV money coming their way etc.

Normally I would be fully behind anything like this, especially as I am passionate about MH. I can't help but feel the 3 big names will still have some sort of gain from this.

Pre-Season this year should've been a gesture to lower league clubs in the traditional manner, go and let them make some much needed gates.

I mean, they can do both? We're not just going to play two friendlies and that's it.

I am sure we will play more than just those 2, but we would also need to play better quality teams than just lower leagues to get is ready for City in the first game.

So far it's the U23's playing those sorts of sides.

Its not been mentioned anywhere but my first thought, when looking at the three teams mentioned, is some sort of 'community service' punishment based on the fallout from the ESL debacle?

I wonder whether there's a chance of the Orient game being pushed back very slightly? Right now they're stuck with a 2,000 capacity but it sounds increasingly certain that from the 19th they'd be allowed their full capacity of over 9k. It should at least mean away fans allowed for the MK Dons match.

Whoever set up that pre season must hate Nuno.

We might have lost to arsenal and Chelsea 4 times by September.

If so, then he's useless, isn't he? He's got to be taking the positive angle - he has the opportunity to beat Chelsea and Arsenal 4 times by September.

I don't even want Nuno as manager.

But now he will have played arsenal and Chelsea twice each, man city on the opening day, and wolves by the end of September.

That is setting him up to fail.

If he loses both of those friendlies, and a tough game to city on the opening day, followed by his former club a week later...

The fans could be calling for his head by the second game of the PL season.

That is brutal for any manager, let alone one with an uphill struggle.

A good manager doesn't lose four games in a row. He's got a better squad than Arsenal and Wolves and a similar one to Chelsea. If he can't do anything with that, that's on him.
