Signing all these lower league players, journeymen and unhea

Signing all these lower league players, journeymen and unheard of foreigners will either be a stroke of genius or end in relegation. Maybe they will come later in the window but we’ve got to sign some proven players as well.

Journey men and so-called experienced players together with an old-school manager got us into the mess which was last season.
This new approach is refreshing, but we will need a balanced approach to the massive squad re-build that is currently in progress :bluescarf:

Lets not judge the club in just May :old:

Easier for some to judge before the even than wait until season starts and we know what team will be..... especially as it will be a completely new squad this season bar 5 or so players

I remember seasons when we have splashed the cash - and got nowhere and seasons when a manager has come in added a couple of players and weve got promoted. There is no exact science , it's more about character, tactics and whether or not the players can do what the manager wants.

Th only successful managers we have had over the last 22 years are Jones (to a degree), Malky and Warnock. All the rest have been average to shite.

Hope for the best - fear the worst - anything can happen at the city - weve seen it all before

Interestingly, I'm struggling to think of a single manager that left us and went on to bigger and better things !!

Let's hope Morison changes that.

Solksjaer could argue he went on to bigger and better.

He wasn’t bigger and better. But the job was :-D

Nobody knows yet wez but you can bet Morison will bring in a few when he can. He knows what's needed.

Very early days.
