Steve McClaren, Comes Out

[ramAnag]

Didn't say it was an easy task or straightforward,so you got your words wrong there ramAnag.

Okay...so it wasn't you that wrote...'ALL WE NEED is to restore the balance to the side...players that have been at the club for a long time will need to be moved on...we need to cut the wage packet down...loan players out who are high earners...find players that fit into the current system'.
Those are all your words and if we had a magic wand I'd agree with you, but you can't just simplify it to a case of ...'All we need'. It's a mess and without causing us enormous financial wreckage it's going to be bloody hard to sort out. We can all compile our wish list of things to be done...knowing quite how to do it, without damaging the club's finances and reputation any further, is rather harder.

P.S. Who I'd keep and who I'd want to leave isn't really the point. We all have different ideas and I'd certainly keep Keogh but not as a captain. Who we'd build next season's side around could perhaps be an interesting future thread but this debate is about 'how' rather than 'who'.
