NATHAN BLAKE:



“In the summer, I would be looking to really cut this squad, even if it meant giving golden handshakes. That’s easy for me to say, of course, it’s not my money. But I just look at two of my old teams, Wolves and Sheffield United, and look at what they are achieving. “


“They are proof that if you have the capability, the will and the correct plan in place then you can elevate your club very quickly. At the moment, we are sitting in 12th position in the Championship table and the mid-season transfer window has already come and gone”

I think the squad is about right in numbers now,the trouble is its not got the quality! I think what he is saying is,the players are not good enough,and I believe that too,in answer to your question on another thread dogfound, I meant players past their best on big money contracts, not particularly their age,hope that explains it better :thumbup: :old: :bluebird:

Consistently stupid. Nathan Blake is absolutely clueless, isn’t he?

We just need to see off contracts of players that we can’t sell, and every time someone’s contract runs out, bring in another youngster, whilst also getting short term loan deals to keep the experience. And then within 2 years or so we will have a young squad of academy players who have Atleast a dozen championship games under their belt, and that’s where we start buying players to compliment them. That’s how we do a full rebuild to push for promotion
