Its all irrelevant but we are saying with a huge dollop of hindsight that we would rather have kept the bulk of last years squad, bring in just a few more quality additions, Niakhate, maybe spent a bit more on one clinical striker and we would be making a better fist of it.
Much as I am saying ai didnt want the recruitment team sacked they have to share some of the responsibility for where we find ourselves.
Tbf the majority on here would've been happy if we'd managed to sign last year's team with a handful of additions. Would've taken the pressure right off too without having that 150m tag around our necks. We could've always added the likes of Freuler and Richards etc to build on last year, along with Taiwo (to backup Davis) and MGW too. At least it would've meant we didn't need to force the new guys in too soon. I don't think it's hindsight though.
It was a decision the recruitment team took to choose perceived value instead of overpaying for Davis, Garner, even Spence. I understand it but I don't think it's improved our chances of staying up and we've ended up spending a fortune anyway.
