I would have hoped they would have acted before we got into this mess.


None of us would have said we were in a mess in the summer so I’m not sure that’s fair.

Tbf Chris  the longer the window was going and all we saw were players leaving and no newbies were coming in, then misisng out certain players and ending up linedlof and sancho the warning signs were there

They reacted too late. When Monch left to save his old team, a clear dereliction of duty, the message should have been dont come back. The window has slammed shut now we're going to have to limp along till Jan. a couple of injuries and the seasons a write off.

That’s not quite true but more importantly those inside the club should have been closer to events.
The problems have been the result of multiple transfer windows not just this summer.

As early as mid June we were talking about how flat it felt, how the messaging was off and I think I even said it felt a bit like the latter Lerner years. The whole summer people thought there was a problem. The only issue there is that by the summer it's far, far too late. Making the decision now, quickly, gives a chance to replace and rebuild.

If we'd sacked him in June I'm pretty certain things would've been a lot worse. If the noise of this being amicable is true I suspect that's when planning for his successor started but him going during the window was never an option.
