Listened to the first 10 mins of yesterday’s press conference, strategic plan this, strategic vision that, change in strategic direction - all a load of utter corporate bullshit.Interesting to see if hecky is on the touch line Sunday or leaves the motivation and hands on to his coaches. From what I gather I see his role as being not so much a management of the players ( although part of his remit ) but a management of the overall football structure. With his coaches taking training, sorting team selection, tactics etc based on his overall management.
it is obvious our high earners are going to leave and any player not in the immediate first team picture will be moved on with the intention of not only cutting costs but providing funds to run the club.
players to go based on what he said about not being interested or committed include verrips, Freeman, Robinson, Burke,
players Offloaded with the prime intention to raise funds include moose, mcburnie, Berge, baldock, possibly Brewster although it depends on cash flow as to whether we have to get rid in a fire sale or can afford to hang on for better prices.
can see all loans going back dependent upon contract situation, possibly keeping Gibbs whiite.
whilst heckingbottom is in charge of football matters and bettis other management they are both responsible to the board who dictate overall strategy, which means if they need money for other clubs in united world and can raise it by selling a guy from SUFC they will.
sufc are now seemingly a cog in a wheel, I think they thought if they appointed the best coach with a proven record ie Slav they would have a chance of getting back to the premiership. They realised this was not possible quite soon after his appointment and then made plans to cut cloth accordingly. Call it what you will, change in corporate structure etc. Etc. But we are in a mess because we spent money on players who have not retained their value and now have to sell at reduced prices promoting our youth to fill the gap.
need a new owner with new investment or we will wallow around the lower reaches of the championship and possibly get relegated next season.
oh The joys of being a blade
We’re a football club which needs to win games of football and as for the club owner not being present to galvanise the club in such times - shameful.
Heckingbottom comes across as a thoroughly decent fella, but to coin a phrase - poor kid.
What a mess.
