Hopefully they stick to a position and focus with that.

Maybe in the end he was limited, but Tom Davies was continuously moved around; further back, box to box and a 10, and I think this harmed his development as he looked very good at 17. A different manager every year and a lot of pressure put on him didn’t help either.

Hopefully that will all be different with the new owners and Armstrong will be coming through at a good time.

I always think people look at it the wrong way round with Davies, he got moved around because he couldn’t nail down a role not the others way round. I also think a bit too much is made of those different roles, it’s not like we were asking him to be makelele one week and maradona the next, he was effectively asked to do the same things, just sometimes further forward and sometimes further back. I think in the modern game it’s very common for players to be able and be expected to fulfil different roles at different times.
