I agree with oshea but believe he's only telling half the story. If we recruit a better leader - and the players give their best each week - we will build etc. would be a more accurate depiction of our needs.I your agree with much of what you say but you are in effect agreeing with JOS...if we recruit a better leader we will build a long term sustainable team.
The essence of good leadership is to provide the optimum conditions for people to give their best. It still requires people to actually give their best though. You can't absolve the responsibility of half of that partnership. good leaders can't succeed without good followers. Besides, any player involved in the Southampton debacle is not really in a position to lay all the blame at the door of the hierarchy.
