What does he expect when we don’t know what division we’ll be in next season?
A fair few of that 14 have to take some responsibility for the situation we’re in which causing the ‘unhealthy’ situation.
The main point in this is they are able to because they’ve sold players at a high value so they can re-invest. Think they got about 38 million for 2 players alone.
Our recruitment is so myopic and haphazard we’re never, ever in this position.
He’s been a great servant to the club and obviously cares.
But he’s been captain over one of the worst periods of the clubs history and earned a fortune in the process.
No idea why some people are surprised or ‘somethings happened.’
Look back to the summer and total lack of plan/investment.
It’s just coming home to roost now.
I really hope he does well but people need to calm down.
Making out he’s the messiah after 7 minutes press conference, I remember a lot when Xisco joined ‘so charismatic!’ ‘Attacking football’!
Proof will be progress over the next few months.
Our issue with recruitment is it shouldn’t be done on the whim of the owner or the manager.
It needs to be done with a clear strategy in place owned by a DOF or the like. So if a manager goes the strategy continues.
until this happens we’ll keep ending up with dead wood and players we can’t shift.
