I think the aspinwall and martin signings are a symptom of the mess rule, hetherington and agar left us in. Years of under investing in our youth development have left us with a massive hole which should be filled by 4 or 5 club trained players in the 1st team.
As has been said, there is no quick fix and we just have to trust that pearson is here to make money and the only way he can do that is by making us successful. Having watched Hull for around 35 years, I can wait another 2 or 3 to see us really challenging as long as I can see that we really are making progress towards that.
I don't think we know even half of the problems which were left when the old administration walked out of the door
