You don't think Round is a forward thinking appointment?

Bring back Doug, top four finishes, league cup triumphs, European tours, full houses.

Spent a fortune on utter crap that doesn't fit into the team. £80 odd million spent, bottom half, gambling the club's future. What has Wyness done?
Trying to put a club back together that was in a mess and a team that was shockingly awful on the pitch. It was never going to turn round overnight. I'm stunned at the lack of patience and at how much misery some people wallow in.
It's difficult to criticise Round & the scouting network he has overseen because the January signings the jury is still out on (Johnstone was a good pick, Taylor improved team, Hogan was crocked & rushed back, Lansbury was ok nothing more, Bree was for future, Bedeau is very much for u23's & Hourihane has thus far looked overawed). The big transfer issue of the last year is that last summer we needed goal scorers and rather than look for a combination we spent 20m+ on 2 strikers based on the top scorer charts alone. We really should not have needed to buy Hogan & id like to think with a proper network we wouldn't make that mistake again.When we signed Hogan I was convinced the summer plan was to get max £'s for Kodjia & try and shift McCormack for whatever we can get then get in a target man for Hogan to play off - still wouldn't shock me if it happened.

I presume Round will be heavily tasked with appointing a new manager as and when.Could probably judge his competency from that...highly rated european coach....or the man he was assistant to at Everton and Man. United....David Moyes. He's also worked with McClaren a lot.Sorry for giving you guys nightmares tonight!
