If the club doesn't meet the players expectations, financially, career wise or both then they are likely to look for new employers and so I agree. The available funds, well yes it would be great to have some more but what he has achieved with limited finances has been great and deserves acknowledgment. I think your comments about Orta are harsh but probably true, for the first team. Hence I suspect that the problem here is what you elude to and goes back to the previous point. There appear to be a good bunch at U23 who I assume Orta was involved in signing so he can't be all bad. I don't know how good other Directors of Football records are for comparison in other teams but I'm sure it's not a science and available funds make the pickings better. Lets not forget that Derby, Villa and Sheff Weds face possible sanctions like Birmingham for breaching FFP rules and spending too much.
Actually more than half a team... though come to think of it Harrison was anonymous. So it’s down to 5 I thought played alright!
And so it's off to do something productive and contemplate who is the most trustworthy dickhead I have to vote for at the weekend
