And i dont think we have much support for JG in searching for new players. He is a manager and i think all the previous DoFs team left with him.
Think it was mentioned that JG is working with Luigi Capuano on transfers but presumably there's no scouting being done by Capuano! I think the players that have come in have been identified by JG, Capuano doing the contracts etc.
In the circumstances I think they did pretty well to offload so many so quickly and JG's recruitment has been ok (with a couple of exceptions 😎

It was only a few months ago that we were praising the turnaround done quickly on a low budget.

The problem imo isn't the players as such, it's the inability of the coach to blend them into a side that has the creative ability to consistently break down packed defences. So often we've huffed and puffed and run out of ideas.
