I think RM is learning, it might be too slow, but I can see it. If you think of the team he put out vs Newcastle... there are many differences. Small bone, Armstrong, Diaz are no longer starters. Aribo has sat a few matches. There have been some more direct play, especially with ramsdale. The point being, minor adjustments have been made... TP played today and it was because of the injury... but he could have put on Diaz. The problem is the playing from the back and crap defenders... let's be honest, when Bednarek was loaned to Villa, everyone here, hoped it would be permanent. The fact that he's our most reliable defender now, is also to blame for our issues... not just RM. I still think he's not the right manager for this team, but he's showing a glimpse that he might be able to change.

I agree, but the EPL would be a lot more exciting if every club had the same spending limitations. How can saints ever compete with a club that can spend 100m on Rice, plus the wages, etc... The league needs to become more competitive in my opinion, like the NFL... not be like the NFL, without promotion and relegation.

But it does allow a fair playing field for all teams, which is infinitely better than what we have in football. The NFL has a hard salary cap... players are not bought and sold, but traded. So all teams are under the same financial constraints, every year. Results in giving every team a chance to win. Football on the other hand, is based on who has the most money and how well you manage that money. NFL season is much shorter, more competitive, and more teams have legitimate chances of winning. EPL is boring with only 2 or 3 teans that can win.
