Rossi 0 Posted December 8, 2005 If the board are going to allow the big names to leave then they are obviously embarking on a re-building session that will be headed by Nigel. If a new manager was to come in, then surely it would be his decision on who left. I cant see a new manager coming in after the main names have gone and we have replaced them with more cloggers etc. For me, it is an indication that certain players who Nigel feels have let him down may not be getting a game soon. If this is the case don''t expect him to go any time soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted December 8, 2005 I think you are right, Rossi. I would only add that since recently wehave signed some pretty poor players, and the squad is in any case toosmall, the only way to save the board is to save the manager by givinghim more money.This seems to be the line of least resistance, or in their eyes theleast risky. It suggests that Worthy is here for the medium term intheir eyes. It fills me with some despair. His team building for thepremiership was not very good, neither was it before promotion, orsince.How many of the nearly fifty players he acquired at nearly £10million were rated successful and how many disastrous? Theonlysuccessful ones may be those on their way out.What shall we be left with? When other clubs know we have a transferpot from sales prices are likely to rise, and given his preference forhard working players rathern than skill, it all sounds very depressing.New managers might be prepared to come now, but the number who willwant to come in a year or so when we have a de-skilled team and noassets to sell could be many fewer.

Rossi 0 Posted December 8, 2005 Totally agree Salopian, but are we moving to more of an issue where we are blaming the board for too much prudence and not enough ambition ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
