I see no reason to doubt he's saying what he honestly believes. Medic, McLean, Schlupp and Jurasek all have an assist to their name this season. Schwartau is clearly capable of creating chances, likewise Gibbs (as witness his turn and through ball to Sargent last Saturday), likewise Makama. His finger is pointing elsewhere.
MA has stated " relegation is not an option" so he is not prepared to let things drift to relegation. January transfer window could be interesting if things do not improve on the pitch.
He would say that wouldn't he but he has also implied that Knapper and Manning are safe ' for the time being ' The transfer window opens in a couple of months time and between now and then we have the Christmas period and, after the next 3 games, an international break. If Knapper is still there when the international break ends it will mean, IMO, that we have either got good points out of the next 3 games( hopefully ) or, if not, he will still be here for the transfer window. At that stage, if we are still in the relegation zone, Sargent will want out, players will be reluctant to come here and Knapper has not got a good track record in the transfer market. I know that my pessimism is perhaps ' over the top ' but I've seen it all before.
I just can’t see any change being made until the summer at Sporting Director level, perhaps you could do it in February if we have a poor window
Frankly protests are embarrassing, we have little to complain about compared to some other clubs and the way they are run
My new theory is that Delia sold her soul to the devil for 5 years in the premier league in exchange for relegation the year after she steps down.
