Granted I should have justified my answer to your post, which was one of many negative ones you have made.
The squad of players have,this season, not been good enough in the premier league & it does need freshening up.
Teams that have been relegated do challenge at the top of the championship following relegation from the premier league many winning promotion. Norwich & Watford look like being examples of this in 20/21.
As you are aware we are going to have new management next season,how do you know they will not have a style of play to suit the players?
Recruitment in midfield is needed, teams do change & evolve, that’s football. Better to do this than keep players for too long, unlike other clubs in the area that still have failed play off players from 4&5 years ago!
I’m sure the majority of the players will have motivation to win, to prove a few points, especially in a league that they will find winning easier than the one they are in now.
As far as me sending embarrassing responses, I suggest you look at your own!
