Heard this phrase being mentioned quite a lot recently and it's starting to do my head in. (Listening to the Blades Ramble Video from last night and it's all I ever hear him and his viewers say)
I genuinely believe that the lack of "future planning" is quite largely down to Hecky rather than the owner. We never had these "future planning" issues under Wilder. I remember when Wilder would proactively get players to sign new contracts halfway through the season, when was the last time Hecky got a player to sign a new contract throughout the season? I genuinely cannot recall
The board have noticeably signed a lot of young, unknown, unproven players and have claimed that they are players for the future... yet fans continue to state that there is a lack of future planning going on at the club. How can there be a lack of planning whilst we are signing players for the future?
For all we know, the Ndiaye and Berge contract situations - we might have had an offer on the table for months/years but the players clearly had their hearts set on leaving. Norway's manager effectively demanding he leaves Sheff United, Ndiaye getting tapped up by Marseille.
We're in the Premier League for the second time in a few years, clearly the club is being run terribly!
