Personally I feel like our current predicament is down to a failure to freshen up our squad when it was badly needed, poor man management of some players that were signed, and a lack of knowledge about contracts from our football manager afterall we have to remember that our squad spend this season went up by between 100-150k compared to the previous season. Unfortunatley a combonation of those things has seen people jump ship and leave us in a right mess.
As before how much first hand knowledge do you have of how many players were approached and we tried to sign or how they were managed whilst here?
What’s described in typical critical fashion as “failure” was in fact down to being outbid or they decided not to come.
Players coming and going for those and other reasons happens every year to every coach and every club, are they all failures and poor at man management then or is it just Fax.
It’s already happened in the recruitment drive for next season an example is Joe Keyes leaving after being offered a good contract extension but being outbid by Bradford by an amount we simply couldn’t match.
As a replacement we tried to sign Meadows from London and Riley Dean to replace him but again we were outbid by Bradford and cash splashing Oldham.
Both those and several others before when RD was here were down to money and choice and nothing to do with failure or lack of understanding contracts, on the latter RD had IC giving some support at times along the way.
How much expertise do you have of coaching, man management, contracts etc and how much of it is based first hand during Grix time here or currently to make a qualified assessment of be judgemental about?
