Back in the day if the board didn’t believe in a certain Howard Kendall we would have not had the success in the 80s, as others have said we have the best manager since then and he needs backing 100%
This is not his team, he has played all his signings on 6 occasions this season and we won 5 and drew 1
So let’s see what he can do in the summer
I agree to a point.
But how many times has he played 5 out the 6? Also we should factor in that james was never going to play every game, and we knew this when we signed him.
We talk about the rest of the squad as if they are conference players but it includes a Brazilian forward, and two players that will be in the England euros squad. Richardson and DCL are likely to the be the players that are valued financially if we were to sell them.
In his defence, every player he has signed has improved the squad.
We probably have a first 11 that can compete with the top four. But our squad is probably 7/8.
I am not ancelotti back. He isn’t doing a terrible job, but he isn’t getting anything more out of the squad then you would expect.
The jury is still out.
I would be far happier signing Max Aaron’s and Buendia from norwich, Sarr from watford and Toney from Brentford. Then more 29/30 year old international looking for a pay day and demanding they need to start when fit. Players with something to prove, youth on their side that can provide a bit of pace to the old hands we have. each one would offer something off the bench we just don’t have at the minute
