How much Trust In The Owners

Not a lot. I can see the few decent players (Connell, Phillips and Jalo) being sold on, having great careers elsewhere and replaced by non-league players from home or abroad who look like donkeys at first sight but mature into fully fledged donkeys.

 

Good post and good reply, I HOPE ( because You have to)that when Maden says we are going to have a competitive budget next season, that is exactly the case, and of course used very wisely. We can only wait and see.

 

Not got a lot of faith at all. They've made the right noises before and not delivered. As others have said, all the talk about fast pressing football is just to try getting the fans on side.
The current squad just isn't capable of doing it.

 

I think the board will get it right this time. Can see them spending this summer. The only problem will be the season after back in the Championship. Can see them using the data like they did last time when we lost Lindsay, Pinnock and Moore. We will see.

 

I think we might be looking at upwards of 8/9 new faces indeed if we are going to a back 4 to play attacking football 2 FB's min 1 CB min new keeper, then there's the forward line, all subjective of course depending who goes but irrespective I haven't see a great deal in the existing squad capable of playing that way in terms of coaching them.
Clarke said we weren't adaptable, it's proved to be the case thus far.

 

I've been critical of a number of things with the owners and those they employ.

I wouldn't employ Sormaz, I wouldn't have given the job to Hourihane, and absolutely not in the manner they did... But...

These two people are in post and nothing we say is going to change that. I'm not confident about next season, but football isn't linear in its progression or regression. We have to be so so much better at communications, strategy and decision making though. Maybe a penny will drop somewhere? Maybe somehow an acceptance for mediocrity will ebb away. But now, I think a reset, an escape from a dreadful season will do us all good.

Let them get on with a huge rebuild and we'll assess what they've done next season.

 

I just hope they realise it takes more money to constantly firefight after bad decisions. I'm like a cracked record but maybe if Neerav had backed the last couple of Head Coaches properly we wouldn't be in this malaise.

 

Why ignore midfield?. I think the linkage ftom defence to midfield and vice versa is our achilles heel.

 

I admire your optimism, just think you and others will be sadly disappointed

 

I trust them in so much as I believe they won't deliberately harm the club but I don't trust their decision making at all.
