Improving a football team should be the same as with any other business. Hold onto your best performers, get rid of the under performers and replace them with better. In the case of SUFC that should apply to playing staff, management and all other aspects from media to catering and back of house processes.
The fact that only one of our summer recruits is making the cut (whether he even should be is debatable) says we’ve failed to recruit anyone better than we had last year, whilst losing both of our previous ‘player of the seasons’. It’s also looking probable that we’ve had a downgrade on the management front and the much hyped catering guy has already gone to pot. Bringing in new players is necessary if we are serious in our aim of promotion, but even more crucial is being able to identify the right players (and people) to bring in. This is something we’ve been lacking for years. Is this part of the role of a CEO? I’m not so sure. A decent recruitment chap would more than cover his own wages if he was able to identify talent and we could pick up a transfer fee here and there.
” We cannot sack them and only have so much budget, thankfully a few overpaid players left .
The most overpaid player in the squad is Cal Roberts, imagine the state of us this season without him? He’s carrying the team on his back. But don’t worry he will be off the wage bill in the summer and we’ve got our trusty recruitment strategy to ensure a suitable replacement.
