This policy of just continuously signing random players is the anthithesis of how you build a squad and a football team
You need continuity, i've said it now a few times, the club are signings players and not the manager, everybody is jumping on Goodwins back, and sure, he has a portion of the blame, but the footballing philosophy of a 'director of football' only works to a certain extent if the manager whoever that happens to be is onboard with the recruitment and there is a clear philosophy and tactical approach to signing indivudal players - not just signing up whoever is available
Contnually signing players (and **** knows how many the club have signed already this year) might impress simpletons, but the way you improve a club is by gradually changing a team over a period of time, not recycling players every 5 ****ing minutes
It's laughable, the club have changed way too many players at once, it never ever works, every manager in the history of football has need to put his own mark on a team and not have to deal with 20 players in and 20 out every season, gradual changes, 3-4 new players per season tops, all superior to the players who have left
Cormack has learned nothing, he has signed a bunch of random players again this window using up more of the clubs budget - who would want to manage a team who change the players more often than they change their own underpants, its unmanageable and unsustainable, Chelsea are doing the same, spent half a billion this year and are worse than they were last year
