Listening to Paul I’m not sure he shares your patience with the current situationHe made specific comments about difficult decisions being made when players were not signing contracts.
Surely this is absolutely the outcome in line with that comment? It may seem sudden, divisive, even radical but anyone listening would have understood he had an issue with players of value not signing and that difficult decisions may have to be made.
He also made sensible comments on avoiding an aging squad. So expect extensions of players over 30 tl be carefully managed.
If he'd said we absolutely won't be selling any players then fine. But he didn't.
If I've learned anything from the Wilder affair, it's that losing your shit early on isn't worth it especially until more facts emerge.
This one is far easier to evaluate. We look at the squad on 2 September. They club have either then got a squad that is numerically sound and competitive or they haven't. If the latter then we can bleat away within reason; those expecting unrealistic signings will be disappointed.
But for now, I'm keeping my powder dry until I've seen the conclusion of the incomings.
I said on promotion if they won’t sign then sell them and replace them now however I did think there would be more in the kitty to start with!
Selling our best players this late in the window with no guaranteed replacements is a crime. There is no doubt this window has been a shit show of epic proportions no matter what happens in the next few weeks and may have already consigned us to relegation before we even kick a ball
