I saw the Hill interview in which he stated, due to his past experience it’s better/easier to pick up players right at the end of the window.
In other words you should expect to see players come in who are left, who basically nobody else wanted = The left overs.
As you say WG there are huge problems with this approach. Apart from just having the dregs left there is a strong possibility that, during January, we will become less attractive week by week resulting in being significantly adrift by the end. We could also end up with players here for entirely the wrong reason from the Club’s viewpoint – “not bothered about playing for Scunny but it’s all I could get”. Dangerous but what else can Hill do without the chairmans help?
