SweeperKeeper Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Should be alright for a season in L2 given what's been said about him. Glad to see we are focusing on the back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then good luck to you. As a policy I agree that our recruitment, of both players and manager has simply not worked. Once again since the end of yet another poor season we have seen a huge turnover in staff throughout the club. A move away from the original approach is evident but the calibre of player brought in points to either a lack of ambition or more likely a lack of finances In the last month we have brought in the likes of Dearnley, Piergianni, Jamboti and Borthwick-Jackson -and yes three of those had already been on loan here but you could argue it allowed the club to assess whether the players are a good fit for our crazy club. Add those to the likes of Rowe, Hamer and Wheater (if they remain at the club) and we have the start of a league 2 squad...and not a #frenchlad among them. It seems to me that AL and MO don’t seem to know what ‘the plan’ is and are still reacting too slowly to the failure of their “bring ‘em in cheap and sell ‘em on at a profit” foreign player strategy. Recruitment has changed over the past year but it still seems haphazard at best. I agree that the recruitment policy is important but I also agree that the way the club is run and the way the staff are treated is of paramount importance too. The bottom line line is that until a buyer steps forward, and AL is willing to sell, the anniversary season is likely to be more of the same.

The issue I have with it is that he regularly comes out and says the Head Coach chooses the players to sign. We even had a Head Coach (Banide) say in his opening Press Conference that he wasn't in charge of recruitment and then Abdallah told us at the forum in October that he had been! He even offered me Banide's phone number as a result... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how quickly the news broke about Kewell that feels a bit unlikely to me? Would also seem to contradict the speculation that the timing was furlough-related. It's possible that Kewell was waiting by the phone just in case the relationship with Dino deteriorated though, I suppose. Not sure Fitz, but Dino reckons that was the straw that broke the camel's back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Decent signing by sounds of it. My Wycombe supporting mate was amazed that he was let go. Versatile across the back four, cracking free kick taker and got stuck in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked pretty decent together towards the end of the season. Solid for me. ???? We shipped goals left right and centre other than when Newport and Bradford rolled over...

You don’t get folk wanting him to be honest with them, being upset with him when he tells them blatant/pathological lies at the same time as asking for their money in season tickets sales?

al_bro Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 The problem with them bringing in players is that they sign players in positions we don't need. The manager would rather spend the budget on areas where players are needed. If Hamer and Wheater are staying, then the defence is sorted. We now need a goal keeper, 7 or 8 midfield players and a couple of strikers. Plus some loanees in any position to improve the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got to the point now though that even if he genuinely changed his spots and gave it a good crack, noone would listen. So he might as well jus stay quiet and hide in the background and let actions do the talkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
