Connor Wickham: Potential Saviour or clutching at straws?

We don't know who to blame and who not to blame with any certainly. I reckon both PDC and Sess gave Short an excuse to cut costs though. Sess with his stupid behaviour and Paolo with his reaction to the behaviour. Ellis will have been buzzing at the chance to shift a top earner unexpectedly.

Especially if his £70k pw were to be believed

Di Fanti bought Jozy. Sess and PDC gave Ellis the opportunity to sell a big earner.

Loved Sess, but I can still remember how inconsistant he was. Still we've had no CAM all season and we've desperately needed one.

According to Di Canio, he made the decision on signings. Until he was sacked when he changed his story and said he had no say in it? I don't believe a word of what Di Canio says. His story changed every time he was interviewed.

He said he had final say which makes sense. That means he had a choice given by someone else. Paolo didn't scout the player, compile the short-list and then say to himself 'you can either have this player or that player' did he? We haired a DoF. Do you think we recruited Di fanti as an office clerk? If a club has a director of football, the buck stops with him in the transfer market as it's his area, and it did, Di Fanti was sacked. Paolo wasn't a manager he was a coach, the buck stopped with him on the pitch and it did, he was sacked.

The sacking of Di Fanti imo demonstrates 100% to me that the club acknowledge that his signings have not been good enough.
