This is an interesting post from Dr Kish. We have over 40 professional players on the books. Definitely quantity over quality. 1 Stephen Henderson 2 Ricardo Vaz Te 3 Ahmed Kashi 4 Johnnie Jackson 5 Patrick Bauer 6 Naby Sarr 7 Johann Berg Gudmundsson 8 Jordan Cousins 9 Simon Makienok 10 Cristian Ceballos 11 Callum Harriott 12 Alou Diarra 14 Igor Vetokele 16 Reza Ghoochannejhad 17 Tareiq Holmes-Dennis 18 Karlan Ahearne-Grant 19 Zakarya Bergdich 20 Chris Solly 21 Morgan Fox 22 El Hadji Ba 23 Joe Pigott 24 Regan Charles-Cook 25 Rhys Williams 26 Harry Lennon 27 Dimitar Mitov 28 Roger Johnson 30 Nick Pope 31 Mikhail Kennedy 33 Oliver Muldoon 34 Terell Thomas 35 Joshua Umerah 37 Ademola Lookman 38 Ezri Konsa 39 Diego Poyet 44 Franck Moussa Aaron Barnes Alex Kelly Archie Edwards Ayo Obileye Brandon Hanlan Joe Aribo Josh Staunton Zak Ansah Further 6 out on loan: Dillon Phillips George Tucudean Marko Dmitrovic Piotr Parzyszek Tobi Sho-Silva Tony Watt
not only do we have a pathetically inadequate budget, we spend it on absolute dross. About 5 players max there that are of sufficient quality to start week in week out, another 5/6 that are useful back up.
Scrolling through that list, my assessment as follows - 10% good enough for the Championship, including Jacko past his best 10% promising kids incl already good enough and may be good enough 80% - proven not good enough, non entities, injury prone has beens.
Blows to smithereens our CEO's talk about "a sustainable business model". Inevitable when there's no-one in a position of responsibility who actually has the slightest idea what they're doing. Rick talked about the fans making the club unmanageable, they wouldn't notice the difference!
But it's all been a "success"...despite the negative vibes coming from 2% of our customers. The fact that we have over 50 players on that list, of which 6 are good enough for the Championship, is also a "success"
