I don’t understand what MA has done to have so many people lose faith in him so early. He has transfer listed players that were poor and disliked by the fans (RD, MDV, EH in particular) and those that never lived up to what they should have done (SH, AM). As for Kenton, he was always an average utility player, good to have at times of injury but never going to be a regular in a playoff-achieving team.
With regard to his signings, I don’t think he could possibly have won with some people. We were never going to be able to sign real, proven, in-form, in-prime quality because why would they sign for us? So he had to bring in slightly older, experienced, “good for this division players” (Kishishev, N’Gotty), players who have quality which no-one has managed to get out of them (Cort) and players with a good pedigree and real potential (Sappleton and in particular Hellings). I don’t know a lot about them, but I’m not going to write them off as disappointing signings before they have played, especially as I didn’t know much about any of our great players (Muz, Lennon, Guppy, Sav, Elliott etc. etc.) before they came to Leicester.
In addition, while we have a small squad now, there are 2 weeks to go until pre-season and 2 months to go until Blackpool. There will be more signings, I would like to think that they might include McLeod / Jarvis / , but whoever they are, I’ll happily judge them all once I’ve seen them play.
Has anyone else heard that MM has promised MA an additional £4MM to spend?
