EnderbyFox Posted 1 September 2022 Posted 1 September 2022 How many teams in the league have actively weakened their squad this window? Glad we've got Faes in, he's going to be an improvement on Amartey & Verstergaard, but he's not going to be Fofana standard is he. Didn't even manage to replace Lookman ffs.

Out of interest, do you think Vichai would have let us get into this situation? I think the answer is probably not, so I would add some responsibility to Top in your list.
The Guvnor Posted 1 September 2022 Posted 1 September 2022 Sad thing is we haven’t got poor players, quite the opposite, it’s ‘Mr Motivator’ that appears to be the problem. 3

Dames Posted 1 September 2022 Posted 1 September 2022 Whilst i'm glad that we aren't getting in some of the dross we've been linked with this is by far and away the worst transfer window we've ever had. Even the one where we signed Luigi Glombard was better than this.

Hopefully it'll dawn on him that nobody thinks he's as good as him and his agent do. The fact that nobody wants him unless he's free tends to suggest he'd not even be a starter for a big club. The balls in his court, put more effort in. Big clubs aren't keen on a slow moving chubby hamster lookalike.

If Fofana hadn't gone we would have bought no one. I am convinced that took them by surprise. We've done the bare minimum to keep the squad functioning. Maybe we now sack Rodgers, maybe we get investment providing incomings in January ready to clear out the squad in June, maybe we have some amazing plan to integrate academy players. God knows. Even if we scrape through this season, how do we build for the future? Edited 1 September 2022 by Chelmofox 1

No. But I think Top has been badly let down by Rudders and whoever is in charge of financial planning, plus chuck in the entire Recruitment Team as they have performed abysmally this last few windows.

We are skint. If it was just the pandemic, why are no other clubs struggling like we are? I think Vichai was almost certainly more careful than Top, much as I recognise the terrible sacrifice the family has made. I don't like criticising Top, but being an outlier on wages didn't just happen overnight, the money side of the club should have been more careful.

Maybe top wasn’t ready to be in charge of a football club his father was running before the accident but had no choice but to take it on. He might have lots of different people in his ear telling him things and doesn’t know what to do where as vichai might have had more of a clue who to trust and not trust. 1

I don't like criticising Top, but being an outlier on wages didn't just happen overnight, the money side of the club should have been more careful. He has people in charge of the business that he trusts to run that side of things, if they've dropped the ball it's on them not him. It's not like they're people he hired, he went with continuity. You could possibly accuse him of not being brave and changing the structure (we've missed out on people like Dan Ashworth who could have made a real difference in our structure, especially with the training ground/stadium stuff) by sticking with Rudkin etc. 2
