We were told we would learn from previous mistakes, be a squad overhaul, yada yada. We moght sign a few more players but we need about 8 or 9 and will sign 2 or 3 and maybe a loanee. Then MON will say they need time to get up to speed as no preseason. Same old story. The team, squad and club have regressed massively in recent years and the league win, brilliant as it was, papered over the cracks.
Not long ago we had wingers who could actually create and score Jota, Abada, Khun, Maeda. We now have JF, Balikwishka, Tounetki. Guys like JF, Ralston, Scales were not good enough for Ange and here we are years down the line giving them new contracts. Good servants but their time is up. Forcing change will not be easy but has to happen for us to start putting right years of mismanagement and downsizing.

Exactly Chinks, we've downscaled every season for the last 3 or 4 years and this season is going to be no different.
Its inevitable that its going to come back and bite us and this season could be the season.
Amazingly we got away with it last season but in hindsight was probably the worst thing that could of happened.
We should of taken last season as a warning but doesn't look as if we have.
