If the finances are a barrier to appointing a new head coach then, as you say, it's a complete false economy. The players are non plussed at best, fuming at worst, over what's going on with the head coach search - we've got assets worth tens of millions of pounds becoming increasingly disillusioned and suddenly becoming receptive to other club's overtures, willing to hear what they have to say where as previously they were dismissed out of hand. Once you get to that point and heads have been turned, it's pretty tough to turn them back again. Though, having said that, you'd have to assume a good head coach appointment now could do that. Unfortunately my faith in that regard is now pretty much extinguished - sorry, I'm beaten...for now.

We might have a chance at Millar now - https://x.com/PNEPlug/status/1802790788192952423 Peter Ridsdale on Liam Millar: "Liam has been very honest with us, saying he loves the club and will come back tomorrow, but wants to play left wing. And we have said we love him and want him back tomorrow, but we want him to play left wing-back..."
Where do you get this from, has anyone actually come out and said anything along these lines or are you basing how the players feel on the way this forum seems to feel?
What an odd statement, imagine if KLD came out and said something like this about Jack Clarke playing left wing back.
Bit different, Millar was only there on loan. Think it would be like Styles saying he'd only join permanently if he was going to play centre midfield.
Doesn't add much to the story that was already out there last night but the article backs up my thoughts on the signing. Solid, older head who according to Robins was a good influence in the dressing room, allows us to sell Bass and Bishop and loan out one of or both Young and Richardson. Smart.
Can’t really twist if Simon Moore comes in. Older head who’s played at some decent clubs in the past. He’ll know he isn’t playing games unless there’s a load of GKs injured (highly unlikely). Low wage no doubt.
I was under the impression that Everton couldn’t really spend and had to sell players… please log in to view this image
Coventry signed well last summer and I expect them to again this year. Seen much of this lad, @Scout73 ? please log in to view this image
Agreed. It’s great knowing we’ve got highly rated youngsters coming through in that department. Young is a real prospect.
