English Football 2017-2018 - Page 672 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I'm not speaking from what I've read on a website and in O'Leary's 2001 book.
I've known one member of that dressing room since I was 3 years old and another for coming up for 25 years now.
I know which side I trust more.

you have a much more insider view than almost anyone else in the country in that case.

so in your opinion was it just variance that led to the Champs league places fails? Or O'Leary's coaching? Suddenly not good enough players - despite your list a couple of posts up?

There was a massive split. I'll leave it there.

Edit: One thing I will add is that Eddie Gray was the real coach.

If that really was the root of the Leeds collapse I think we'll all want to know more - obviously without you doxxing your sources.

I propose we make a list of the posters who left hazard out of their top 5. iirc one of them put Sané in there but not hazard. lol

Me - again with the assumption that longevity was a factor. Same reason I wouldn't take Sanchez

Watching the quick, silky linkup play of hazard, Willian and batman, I can see why they want to add Carroll into the mix.

Carroll is purely a tactical measure for the CL
