It will always be our best players that we?re selling, for obvious reasons, and we might not always be in a position to instantly replace them.
Was selling Langstaff, Nemane and Crowley a bad decision? I guess the majority of us would say not because we understand that?s our model, and the players obviously wanted to go. However I would bet my life if we hadn?t sold them, we?d have finished top 3.
When I compare the last few seasons with the Bros to the years that proceeded Munto, I couldn?t be happier. The fact we?ve got players/Managers/back room staff that other clubs are interested in, is the indication that we?re getting more right than wrong.
Every area of the club seems to be improving in a way that will have longer term benefits.
The only thing I think they got wrong so far was the January window, which puts even more pressure on the summer signings.
I personally think they didnt get the Jan window wrong, similar to why the coaches not were not replaced...They obviously realised that Maynard was a dud, and that they had made a huge mistake in setting him on. The plan to sack him was probably made around that time, and rebuild in the summer with a complete new management set up, and players..
