No, not the title of a thriller from Robert Ludlum along the lines of the Bourne Identity but a description well suited to thise excellent article from the Daisy Cutter which deconstructs the latest effort by Moaning Maureen (my squad was rubbish, some of them still are and we haven’t spent enough money) to deflect attention and excuse his side being so far behind City.
In short his bleating just won’t wash........and I think most pundits and hacks are having none of it.

We have a long way to go for sure but the owners have invested in creating solid foundations as the basis for long term growth whilst the rags stagger from one short term ‘solution’ to the next.
During the long, dark years of their success under Taggart I longed for the days when they would endure the woes faced by most clubs. They may never crash and burn totally but they are lurching into another crisis IMO as Maureen is preparing the groundwork for his eventually exit - his usual pattern is winning cups in his first season; the league in his second season; and in the third causing an implosion and getting sacked so he pockets the pay off of his contract. Well, he seems to have skipped phase 2 and appears (to me at least) to be moving directly to phase 3 as he gradually implodes with frustration. Expect mor meltdowns as the season progresses.
The rags have no long term plan whatsoever. We may not know how long Pep will stay right now but we can be assured that if the two clubs, our at least has a blueprint for the future.
