This should absolutely put paid to the argument that it is impossible to sign players that improve what we have due to our league position. The lack of forward planning and future proofing is quite honestly astounding.
This season, in a window and a half we have managed to quash the PSR and possible points deduction argument/excuses for signing dross/being inactive in the market when they both didn’t happen.
At what point do we realise that the people in charge of recruitment at this football club are absolutely incompetent and negligent. Put the blame where it lies. Rudkin, Glover and at the very end of the day, Top.
Their decisions and stewardship has seen us lumbered with Vestegaard, Coady, Ward et al on stupid money, with no sign of changing course. We head into next season (likely in the championship) with Jordan Ayew and Bobby Reid while Southampton forward think with the likes of Gronbaek. They’ll recoup big money for Dibling and likely spend again, too.
We are an utter laughing stock, they’re asleep at the wheel and have been for some time. I want serious people in positions of power at this football club not the charlatans we currently endure.
