It's just not a sustainable approach unless we go up.
I am convinced the owner has absolutely stratospheric ambitions probably beyond our comprehension!
The owners agreement with Karanka was probably that the managers role was to bring in the hatchet and revolving door with free licence to hire and fire and loan at will. Though the significant financial outlay and pivotal players Marinakis will have had direct involvement with.
I now accept AK isn't about being likeable or popular or sentimental or idealistic or arm round the shoulder. He can hire and fire relentlessly on a more industrial scale than anyone, this is what I think Marinakis saw on his CV, it has to be an AK type coldness and brutality. I don't have to like it but I will accept it as short term pain for long term gain.
With the players at AK's disposal he should get some winning runs going, if it doesn't work out the owner is probably already making plans for Dec 30 as time is of the essence.
