"There comes a time when every football club has to be honest with itself and take the kind of tough decisions that secure its future"
secure its future???
1. Why turn down an offer of £8m for J Ayew one week to lose all his value and loan him out the next?

2. Why wait until the last minute to sell Fernandez at the cut price of £6m?
Sounds desperate to me, how does this secure the clubs future?
3. Why wait until the last moments of the window to sell the forth out of five centre backs, Amat, for an undisclosed £4m?

4 Why leave the club with only one senior centre-back to face the season alone?

5. Why wait until the last moments of the window to sell Clucass on the cheap for £6m, to a major rival in our division?

6. How does signing a batch of green inexperienced players without signing some experience to go with them help secure the future of the club? sounds desperate to me
7. How does leaving the club with only ONE standing senior midfielder, Carroll, and expect him to stay fit and injury free while heading a midfield of green, inexperienced players help secure the future of my club? Sounds desperate to me
8. How does not signing arguably the best midfielder in the league, after his club had dropped their asking price, leaving our midfield precariously short of experience, or if not him another experienced player?
Sounds cheap to me, how does this help secure the future of the club?
9. How does writing 586 of condescending, patronizing, pretentious bullshit help hide your negligence in your latest catastrophic transfer window?
Sounds desperate to me but how the **** does showing your true colours help secure the future of my club?
