Cos it might mean Rudkin & Top actually have to do some work rather than having a chat with whoever fancies the job. Tellingly it was reported Potter turned it down (3rd time Rudkin wanted him) because of staff demands - he's just in the process of getting one of his preferred members of staff in at West Ham.Probably all true, which begs the question as to why they appointed someone like Steve Cooper who is as anti-Pep/anti-Maresca as Sean Dyche
That appointment looks more ludicrous by the hour
We dream of having an analytics team and back-up plans which can identify managers with the best continuity. The club has built this headquarters in the sticks to have facilities better than the likes of Manchester United et al but it's not being properly ****ing used either by the monkeys running it or the strategy (or lack of) over the top of it.
This season I think if we'd have done what Ipswich have done - ie. buy players with a resale value on decent wages, held a strategy and give it a good ****ing go with some surprise results - the moaning would have been minimal.
