I’m sorry folks but I’m not one for putting too much faith in the owner. Yes he’s a marked improvement on Lai but let’s be honest that wasn’t going to be difficult. Surely Patel did his due diligence and knew exactly what he was walking into! Despite Lai’s best efforts Patel inherited what was basically a decent squad capable of so much more than the current debacle. The financial rewards of the Greed league far outweigh what we are inevitably facing in league one yet the last three managerial appointments show a complete lack of understanding of the game and worse, a lack of ambition.
I get the ‘fire sale’ of Heggem and Fellowes, to generate immediate and significant funds, but some of the others who left for significantly less, Furlong, Taylor, Palmer etc. was a complete and utter waste as any revenue generated will be swallowed up by relegation and paying for sub standard replacements including sub standard managers.
The only positive I can see is that we do already have a squad that is only fit for league one at best.
