A few things to unpick there, Matty.
First up, I didn't say we were going backwards, I think you are mixing me up with another poster. However, I did point out that on the pitch we are, for the moment at least, standing still.
I'm also not being negative, I literally said we should wait and see as very little has actually happened yet.
Your positivity is admirable but it isn't based on any actual evidence yet. You say we have a new off the pitch team, and that's true, but we shouldn't assume that they're fantastic just because they are new. We've been there before with Moshiri and we all saw how that turned out.
I've also been very consistent with saying I don't think we'll spend huge sums this summer, so I'm not sure where your "lashing a billion" comment comes from.
There's been some good things this summer, the new Branthwaite contract being the obvious standout, but there's also been some underwhelming things, the contract offers to Coleman, Keane, Young, Doucoure and DCL, for example. All I'm saying is that we need to see what our new owners and new executive team do before proclaiming that they are wonderful and that everything is amazing.
