    21 Players Released.....

    .......before a new manager is appointed!


    The way we run squad affairs under Luke Drowning is farcical, sacking 21 players before the new guy comes in is a criminal way to run an organisation.

    We operate a "Pin the tail on the donkey" approach to squad management and choosing of players, I'm sure a blindfolded Drowning puts on a blindfold and sticks a pin into the "Players to release" and "Players to buy" board.

    I'd love to sit with Drowning for a couple of hours and question how things are done, I think I'd discover the "Matt Hancock" of the footballing world if I did.

    NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE AND NEEDS TO BE SACKED.



    FOL.

    I think this comes from the top all part of the FOL fund recoup, no logic to releasing players before the new manager has a look, pathetic..

    It's get 'em off the books quick to save their wages before the manager gets installed so he has to start with what is left.

    Surprised at Edwards going and he could go on to be a potentially decent player. Can’t see a top half championship side recruiting Kanu on his wages if honest. Could see Kanu getting another 12 months by incoming manager but would have to be 10/15K max - for me we can no longer carry passengers like him.
