It’s clear for all to see we are on a rapid decline. The perfect storm of players well passed there best (Vardy, Albrighton, Ndidi, Evans, Ricardo) our best players coming up to end of contract (Maddison, Tielemans) and many playing who are just not good enough getting game time (Thomas, Amartey, Castagne, Ward, Perez) For me the club have sleep walked into this position by a succession of poor transfer windows. Clubs like Brighton have replaced us as an example of good scouting and replacing players as they inevitably move on to top 6 clubs. If we manage to survive this season we need a huge turnover in players in the summer and an “A+”window and I just don’t see any evidence we have it in us,
The most important part of any club is the business you do in the market and we were once vibrant and clever without throwing about crazy money. Regardless of whichever manager is in charge the business done by the club and resources provided to that manager should be the priority, players! This has been sadly lacking.
Sure covid has not helped king power as a business, training ground, stadium expansion etc but we haven’t even used the loan market or been able to move players on, we have let valuable assets run there contracts down in Tielemans, Soyuncu and Maddison the whole recruitment policy at the club has been a joke for many many windows.
So I for one agree the club is a joke when all around spend and improve this January we plod along expecting to be able to achieve on the pitch. Well look at the back 4 and keeper that started against Forest, shocking, not good enough players pure and simple.
Championship here we come, let’s hope we do what Burnley are doing and not WBA
