Not loaning out Tyler Walker would have at least given us a bit more depth if only to cover or try and change things.
For me it wasn`t about spending a lot of money as probably some decent loan options available also for cover but I agree on someone`s comments about we don`t know what went off behind closed doors.
I just can`t get behind the EM`s strategy of sack the manager if not in the top 6 when we don`t have sufficient depth of quality to the squad to maintain top 6.
Top 6 would massively exceed expectations at this point in time - not impossible if we are lucky with injury's but unlikely.
Can our recruitment team realistically say any different based on this window and if not who should be accountable if we think the coach is doing a good job with what he has but not top 6 at Christmas ?
Its evident from where we today with our squad size and limited scope of where we go for players that this strategy of changing the manager simply doesn`t work and no sound bytes will change that without a re-think on approach to recruitment imho.
The only defense I can think of where we are today is our current wage bill so we may have to accept a realistic challenge can`t take place until we have trimmed down but we may have had another manager or 2 by that point and so it could continues.
