I’ve heard things (sort of third hand I guess) that suggest that the club is not being well run at all. In all the non “direct” football areas. Things like firing lots of staff to find cheaper ones upon relegation. And that happening on repeat. Including in areas you’d think would be importantI get that it’s normal to get rid of maybe your best, or 2 after a good season. We just seem to get rid of anyone that’s just good. We always offload at the first sign of it looking like a player is doing well, and not one player, sometimes 3/4/5 players.
Im sorry but it says a lot that Dibling, a damn 19 year old from our own academy, who we haven’t even really got him playing consistently well, who would have been a massive asset to us in the championship, is able to drop tools and push a move away. It says so much about how players view us as a club. It makes the future look so bleak. Yes other clubs struggle too but we seem to be a unique case. If anyone else can tell me a club that sold 14 first team players in 3 years I’ll be happy to hear it. I also imagine it would be very rare.
There’s a reason we watch every week and it seems like the players are a bunch of mercenaries who don’t know each other and would rather be playing somewhere else. And there’s also a reason that the only player with move on chatter about them is… oh right our best player again with Matty Fernandes. And you can tell people have already resigned themselves to the fact he might be out the door because it’s so expected despite a 4 year contract.
It sounded like there was a real malaise earlier this year and obviously a lot of that was results based. But change in the manager of the first team apparently hasn’t really changed this. Probably not what we’d like to hear
