Which seems a bit baffling, as his talent is spotting young talent, not necc people ready for the first team. But we'll see I guess.
And the key word being domestic. If importing random nobodies still remains a key part of our recruitment drive, we're still making the same mistake we have since EM got involved.
2. Who has been sacked when trying to build? Karanka walked out, Sabri was not sacked when many wanted him sacked after Stoke. EM went on and backed him but unfortunately Sabri couldn't turn things around and in the end I am sure that 99% of fans wanted to see Sabri go ion the end.
We all know the story behind the AK fiasco. He was as good as sacked, DT has confirmed this on Twitter.
They didn't back Sabri at a key time. Timing is as important as anything.
3. I don't think there is any owner in this league who has given more backing to his managers than EM. If there is then name him.
Many have given proven managers like AK & MON more than 6 months.
4. Vrentzos on the pitch? When did that happen? He sits in the stand and watches games just like every other COE does up and down the country. He may pop down to the training ground too to speak with the manager etc. What is wrong with that? That is his job.
He's been involved with influencing team selection, again as confirmed by DT (e.g. Ribero). Anyone & everyone I speak to involved with the club doesn't have a good word to say about him.
With respect Alf I disagree with all your points and just because DT says something it doesn't make it true. In fact I can put up a list of things that he said that aren't true.
You might have your people you speak to who are involved with the club but I have mine too here in Greece. I even have family who work for EM. I prefer to trust my sources.

I reckon you are probably right, 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.
EM's heart seems to be in the right place. He's perhaps even trying too hard as daft as it sounds.
