Doesn’t a club revamp start with getting rid of players who don’t want to be here?
That takes longer than a year.

Whilst I agree with your general point, one could point out that this ‘revamp’ of the squad has been happening since 2016 (or should have been) with little sign of it ending so how much longer is it going to take?
Given GH hasn’t been able to sort this out in that time so far, what gives us confidence that he will do in time for 2024 or 2025?
The same issues with our squad/recruitment/salary cap usage that people have been bringing up ever since the golden generation ended seem to be the same issues we still have now which I think is the source of much frustration amongst a proportion of the fan base….ie if GH/the club are aware of the issues, why are they still ongoing after all this time?
Yes, it takes more than a year, even more than 2-3 years but this has been ongoing (2017 aside) for 7 years and currently shows no signs of being sorted for next season unless the club have a number of significant and quality new recruits to announce that we don’t know about yet.
I can see why patience is wearing thin amongst some of the fan base. I know mine is and I’ve been a season ticket holder since 1980 so have seen plenty of poop times
