Whilst thinking that the Mudhutter statement raises some very good points, who is actually to say that the managers transfer targets this season were not the players who he has brought in, and were identified by himself and Gregor Rioch?
I say this because largely, the players we have brought in are of the same ilk, young players with not much experience and games under their belt. The exception being Will Aimson. Is our transfer policy ALL down to constraints put on by the owner/board? Or were these players we have brought in our targets all along, and thus the fact is our Mangement team have just signed players that aren’t very good, on the whole?
I’ve said all Summer we aren’t good enough and that I thought we’d struggle, hence I haven’t renewed. Fact is that whilst I am grateful that Mr Danson bought us and ‘saved us’ as a club, for the senior management at the club to suggest that tbe long term aim is to strive to get to the Premier League again, we are lightyears from that.
Truth is, we are nearer Non League, than Premier League, and without some financial investment enabling some sensible, but wise signings of players who have relevant experience and games under their belt at this level and that above (Championship), we will never improve. And if these players we’ve brought in WERE the genuine targets of our manager and coaching team, then I am seriously concerned.
We are in a real mess at the moment. The squad is nowhere near good enough, we are a poor Lg2 squad at best, and heading in one direction. We don’t score goals…thats a massive worry, and we are a team that concedes too easily. Put them both together and we are in reap trouble. Who is actually at fault though…hmmm, I’m not sure at the moment. I’m not convinced by ANYBODY at this club anymore. It’s a shambles.
I do welcome the statement and the fact that we need answers and to look at what needs improving, throughout the club. But signings wise, we are buggered for now until January. And the way things are, we could be in serious, serious trouble by then. Is Mike Danson going to suddenly give Maloney a multi million war chest? Or is Maloney just going to look at the same old same old type of player? I.E. someone who costs peanuts and who’s played 15 games in the last 3 seasons, scoring 2 goals, or something like that?
We’ll have to see and only time will tell. Is it the owner/chairman, or is our manager just not good enough? Jury is well and truly out.
