As a bare minimum our new recruits should be fit for purpose before any deals are put on the table ,and a fitness assessment would help weeding these players out ,that end up being millstones around our neck . You’d have thought that if this had taken place with the likes of Proctor and others we would have dodged some very expensive bullets . Although that recruitment exercise doesn’t extend to players who pass that particular test but have no heart and desire to play for us . It really is a minefield getting the right bodies at the right price to perform to an acceptable level on a consistent basis ,because as we’ve seen only too well and to our detriment ,it only takes a couple of duds amongst your big earner and the whole pack of cards tumble . Looking forwards to seeing who gets the job if not already working away behind the scenes.
