Exactly. Just some hope and a feeling of seeing some direction and forward planning, would be a great feeling instead of just drifting.
would enable us to fill in the key positions, academy director, get the recruitment team in place, start targeting players and moving on some ready for Jan window as its going to be rapidly here and hopefully bring in a new manager all of these things will have a impact
And not just fill those positions, but fill with the best people we could possibly attract irrespective of any salary cap as they are exempt.
This is our biggest risk, future of the club is at stake to a degree until he admits it. Not sure if there is a support group for failed delusional football club owners the same way as gambles & alcoholics....
I know, I just think it's a daft view. To make a big profit Donald would have to get us up and hope someone buys. If they don't he'd have to either fund a campaign to stay up or risk coming back down. Even if he finds a buyer he's not guaranteed to make this fabled huge profit. If he clings on and fails to go up he's totally screwed and he knows it.
Not all of them but the likes of Hume and O’Nien put some to shame. Wyke plays the part of a centre forward but isn't convincing, Power doesn't lead by example and others like Gooch and Maguire have games when they seem to vanish. Overall there's often little real edge, excitement and apparent hunger ... ... Rochdale was too typical. The manager's sleepy Joe persona seems to reflect on the team.
@Plank advising over the road that the American is Steve Cohen ($14b, owns NY Mets and linked to Fuhrman through art collection). Mind you, he posted this at 12:20 and has not responded to queries...
Some managers can lift their players and give them the belief and confidence to do anything Eg. Allardyce.. Parkinson doesn't give me the impression that he could muster anything.
I get the impression the players play despite him, not because of him. Even the players he's signed don't break their necks for him.
My pie in the sky shout is Ralf Rangnick for any job he'd like. Manager, director of football, both, don't care.
Possibly because this is their only chance to play in the Red and White for nearly all of them. If we go up,99% of the squad would be looking for a new leauge one club to play for. Bit out there but would explain why their arses drop out as soon as we get a sniff of getting in the automatics. IMO Mr Smug.
