No doubt in my mind the squad is stronger. The only problem is that we were able to get the players we got are because they were just happy to be playing football again.
No other clubs wanted them for the same reason we’ll be struggling with them for the foreseeable future, little to no match fitness.
Do you really think if given the choice Hill would bring in players so short of match fitness ?
Hill only went down that route because that was the only route he was able to go down.
If Swann didn’t run this club so recklessly to begin with he wouldn’t have had to completely slam the brakes on monetarily. This is what has caused this to begin with.
Becoming a chairman of a football club and spending 115% of your total turnover in the hope of championship football, taking out loans you know the club won’t be able to pay back isn’t a sound business model.
What gets me is, is that he wouldn’t run his hotel business in such a way and yet comes here and does exactly that while completely destroying the club in the process.
It’s ok uptheiron backing him but it’s his actions which have caused this and the embargo. If Swann didn’t run this club so recklessly we would probably have had the money to tie us over during the pandemic and we wouldn’t have needed the loan in the first place.
No problems with the players Hill has brought in as they’re better players than what we had but they’re so short of match fitness.
Ironically we have the same fitness problems than what Hill was faced with when he first became manager. Only way they’re going to pick up now is through match time and double training session. Sad thing is that it will take time, time we can ill afford to take waiting for them to get up to speed.
Says it all when Swann can’t even be arsed to turn up and watch us anymore…he caused the mess and now he’s playing the role of the disappearing man.
