Just a daft thought, but I wonder if our owners have decided to write this coming season off ??
They could be "lightening the load" by getting shut of certain 'problem' players, preparatory to bringing in a few youngsters for this new campaign and, all the while, awaiting the new Manager for the season after that - whomsoever he may be ??
On that basis, any sort of 'success' achieved in the interim would be a bonus.
As I said, just a daft thought.
Just posted a similar idea on another thread MC
I've just read your post on the other thread; we're either great minds together, or a couple of fools who never differ !!??
My own answer to the question you posed is that I wouldn't mind a relatively unsuccessful season, provided we introduced a decent number of youngsters throughout and continued to play some promising and stylish football, which I'm sure would be more than possible.
Whatever the final outcome of the transfer window, I'm more and more of a mind that we won't be signing any more 'big' players. If we do sign any more, I feel they will be youngsters and for only a modest outlay.
Great minds MC. Obviously!!!!
