It won't change until we have owners that have a hands on approach.

Why? They just need the right people in charge of the relevant departments. Almost want the opposite of hands on owners.

Especially for those who can't run.

Or finish

Agree..don't really no much regarding management infrastructure...hopefully rosen realises this and can put a plan in place and hire the right people.

Realise I might be swimming against the tide here and of course fitness levels are definitely questionable but its a different game these days .
With 5 subs , half the outfield players only need to last 60 mins , its strange we dont see more players going hell for leather before getting substituted.

Theres little point for those who cant do a full game conserving energy.

Defo see your thought process on that, it's the old "South African Bomb Squad" when their Rugby Union side replaced 5 forwards with some giants, they could only operate over 15-20 minutes but that was the aim, to try and hit the opponents when they were tiring. I would like a change to the Laws of the Game that reduces 5 to 4 outfield players with 1 change held back mandatory for GK replacement. I think 5 subs is too much and has taken the workload off players. Even our "tough preseason" they were only playing 45 mins in most of those games. I get not all are going to be quick but all should be able to run for 90 minutes with a 15 minute break in between. When you look at the distance covered for the players that have played 90 minutes, it isn't a lot anywhere between 5-8 miles and some of that will be walking. Realistically a professional should be able to cover 8 miles over 90 minutes !

Fair enough..i just see extending the contract of someone who's hardly ever managed 90 minutes as shocking decision.

so do i just another oddball decision from mr wilder
