You've all gone softer than Prince Andrew in bed with anyone over 18.

Why haven't any of you called HenryHallsHeid a cunt yet? It is the usual gesture after all.

Insightful but Triple H, welcome cunt Smiley

Smells of running the transfer window down and the coach having no input into players for the rest of the season.


Not such a bat shit crazy conspiracy on reflection.
Austin and Morris are just papering over the cracks. Sandro can't be given another window

I'm still unsure about some things.

1. Sandro is implementing someone else's vision. You can argue he's not the right man to do that, but by replacing him you aren't suddenly going to get a change of approach.

You may get it done 'better' I suppose

2. Transfer deadline day was poor. But we have zero facts on why players were moved on and (arguably) why suitable replacements weren't brought in. we certainly didn't strengthen.

you have to assume it's mostly financial.

what were the conditions that lead to it? did we stock pile too many punts early on leaving us no wiggle room?

did something change, if so what? not like crowds have been poor.

3. we do have a chief scout still. it's not all spreadsheets

I've said before I've no interest in going to watch a mid table incubator. it's a little early to call it a failed approach though.

I’d assumed that both Reed & Gladwin were sold because we got money for them now, and both would have left in the summer for nothing, therefore a business decision probably not made by Sandro.
He’s then been charged with finding replacements, and under the model the club want to follow they need to be young with potential for future sale.

Presumably the difference for Williams is that they are hoping to keep him next season.

Depends whose ‘vision’ Sandro is implementing…

I'd have thought Sandro would be making the decision to sell with no manager in place, although none of us actually know.

The model is flawed in that it needs to be more pragmatic and focus on a few gems rather than the scattergun approach we've had this season.

Players are worth far more being sold from league 1 compared with league 2 and from successful teams rather than also rans - to chase £50k at the expense of points just doesn't seem logical.

Have a core of experienced pros in each position that will form the basis of a promotion team add in some young gems with a view to sell them for decent money and top up with some loans.

It will be interesting to see what they can do with the current depleted squad or whether it will be next season after another rebuild.

I'll be interested to see fan reaction when the club reveals the details of the deal, which is what has complicated this process.

That explains the comment from AG yesterday, on reflection I don’t think it was AH.

One thing is for certain. Morris and now Brand should be in no doubt as to the task facing them. Let’s hope that whatever they told the board to secure their positions they can deliver. It won’t be only the players under scrutiny from the new managers, SDM is going to have to step up to the plate to earn his corn with them in identifying and delivering the players we need but have so far only had glimpses of.
