Villa were 10th when AK "left". Why can't we for once be owned by someone who recognizes promotion happens in May, not Jan.
The only exception should be a genuine relegation battle.
Yeah, Alf. In a nutshell.
The board have got to back their own judgement. They employed Warburton, Karanka and MoN.
We need patience and discipline. That includes the board, manager and fans.
There were some highlights to the recruitment last Summer (see Lolley, player of the season...) However, the squad recruitment didn't seem too well planned or balanced. It left Forest without a defence before MoN's recruitment drive in January and it left Forest without another key striker up front (limping along with one decent striker...) all season. You have to wonder where all the money went.
Everytime Jack had to cover CH it left the LB position and back line and team unbalanced. We didn't have another experienced winger to challenge the opposition on the other wing (though Cash's goal tally was impressive...) And we still don't have an experienced DCM because Colback was only on loan. And no real, experienced ACM to push Car'.
That's at least 5 players needed for a 'to improve' us recruitment drive. That's the bare minimum.
But I'm not surprised to see Forest being linked with CHs. They need to chip in with goals but they haven't been. Forest don't have enough character all over the park.
Last season wasn't a disaster. it was progress. But it was catch up on the pitch and financially to the teams above Forest who've been doing it better for 2 to 3 years.
