The reality is they were unsuccessful in landing their first three or four targets having waited for the Play Offs to finish. In the meantime Goat Hair did what he did when he appointed Morais, he went headhunting on the continent for unemployed HC's and found Stendel.
There is an arse over t1t bit in the statement where they spent months drawing up a list of players and then "decided" on their style of play--the other way round would make more sense. Players like Perkins, Dagnall and Bradshaw are needed to make gegenpreesen work, not the Thiams, Moncurs, Mowatts and Moores of football.
First rate pillakin Mr Goat Hair. I salute you.
