By three transfer windows I think he means by then we'll have rid off all current players on high wages, they'll then be replaced with mediocre players on shit wages. That's how he plans to run the club because he has no cash to invest. The players have all had huge % decreases built in too, so the wage bill has been trimmed drastically. This is not an excuse IMO for PH, of course we must cut our cloth accordingly but we've spaffed an amount on Winkler, and now Bell. Surely some foresight would have seen Winkler wasn't for us? And that self same foresight should have seen Kongolo is better at CB. It seems the Manager doesn't look at historial performances to realise where weaknesses are. 40% cuts in wages doesn’t really help when you’re transitioning from £100m+ guaranteed income back to something like £12m in three years. Over the next two seasons I’d have thought we will have to get rid of all players who were brought in on premier league contracts. Thankfully none of them are a particular painful loss. Kongolo would be, but we devalue his impact by playing him where we do anyhow...I’m sure he could easily be replaced by a free/cheap specialist left back with no detriment to the squad. |

Burnley keep being quoted as the example to follow. What people seem to forget is that after their first spell in the PL, it took them 4 seasons to get back up. They bounced straight back up woth Dyche after their 2nd relegation. Hull took 3 seasons to go back up. Burnley are quoted because they are a similar sized club from a similar sized town. Burnley messed up after their first relegation by panicking as we have just done. They did go with experienced managers twice in Howe and Dyche rather than and absolute gamble as we have done. The second relegation they kept the squad together, added to it and went up as champions. |

I predict that Big Phil is somebody who loves to have money. He sold his company and has about 150 million. I think he will buy Dean out before the end of season.
Probably there to be shot down but there are a lot of very strange decisions being made.
