Well done to VK for having first season pull, and city links.
Those loan players are the root cause of the current problem, and we had to sign those because of the fire sale of players instigated by Mr Pace and ALK. We would have had to spend £60-£80 million in summer to sign them, £60-£80 million just to stand still, and that was never going to be an option, so instead of standing still, we've gone backwards. But this is a result of the financial straitjacket Mr Pace has put us in, nothing to do with the manager.
