The strategy is buy players who are meant to be good at passing the ball and then allow them to hoof it to the opposition at every opportunity
 
Don’t be silly.
He’s cost us big time. Deciding to play on with a depleted squad due to covid and brought in 2 absolute nobody’s to take charge after we sacked Lee Johnson. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I seen the team sheet.
The majority of decisions that the club are making including recruitment and the covid games are questionable.
 
I dont think a dof should be sacked, especially in his first year or 2, there has to be space for learning the club and making mistakes.

But this chap has made an awful lot imo and January just reinforced them as opposed to an inkling that we may have learnt.

I hope what I perceive as poor planning doesn't cost the club another opportunity to change tact.
 
We absolutely need a sporting director and he has done several good things, but my god he is hard to listen too. Clearly thinks he is far, far more intelligent and he is so verbose it borders on cringeworthy.
Like what? Genuine question.

For me he's been every bit as shit as those he's brought in (manager and players)

My concern is he’s creating a lightweight under 23s team. Which is great, apart from the fact league one teams beat them regularly in the pizza cup

transitioning to younger players with likely resale value. We may not be where we want to be, but instead of a squad full of plodders who are mid-to-late 20s on high wages and who've peaked in L1, at least the majority of the squad will be on lower wages with more likelihood of interest/higher value if & when we sell them.
