I imagine he was a player out staff were looking at first half of the season in preparation for next summers recruitment hence the link
Things is though, we are now a totally different club compared to what were under the Allams. We are now bringing in quality players (although still looking for value). Under the Allams, especially in the latter years, our youth developed and got opportunity out of necessity, and at a lower level (L1 and struggling Championship). Hopefully Acun builds on the progress made in the Academy and somehow manages to achieve that magical balance of giving youth (especially local youth) opportunity within a much higher quality ambitious successfull set up.
If we are set on playing 3 at the back, maybe KLP leaving makes 3-5-2 more appealing. I think we are far better off with 3 CMs in the championship no matter what formation we go with.
