Might be other factors behind the scenes as mentioned by a few posters.
What are posters hinting could be wrong behind the scenes ?
The Cost cutting has started, two members of the back room staff have gone(Confirmed), players told they’re up for sale?
Of course the cost cutting has started, what did you expect ? Chronic over spending due to poor leadership is what has put us where we are and it has to be reversed.
The comment re players up for sale, you look around from the premier league any player has a price – Ivan Toney is for sale.
