Someone said something on here this morning that I expanded on talking to a Stripey after the match. Time was that if you were doing poorly you'd think "If we get a good young manager, he brings in some inspired signings and gets a bit more out of the ones we've already got, we could do well." Think BFR with them and Saunders then Little with us.
Now it's "If a billionaire buys us..."
To a degree, but I still don't know why our board were so obsessed about getting a manager with proven premier league experience, rather than a young manager with an eye for inspired signings.
Whereas you can't compete with Man City, Chelsea, United in terms of keeping hold of players, clubs like us and Everton should be able to expand our scouting and coaching networks to try and find them before those bags of money clubs come knocking, these players are out there.
