Here's a handy little image to answer why we can't sign anyone and clubs (eg Wolves) are blowing us away.

Horrific. But we haven't spent much net for two seasons so will that position improve next season ?
 

The board do our contracts (you know this) and all the players you have listed suffered major injuries which you are blaming on the DoF, so it wasn't Son that broke Gomes ankle it was Brands was it?

The board create the budget and sign off on contracts, but player selection, value and due diligence of surely in the remit of DOF as head of the football dept, that role and responsibility has a dynamic in terms of value and recruitment. He couldn’t realise an asset or sell a player to save his life either bar obvious players we really shouldn’t have sold, at least Walsh for all the criticism took Sunderland and Watford to the cleaners, Thelwell seems he can do out deals too. Brands sold most of his players, so they represented value.

One or two injuries is unlucky but wasting 100 of Millions on a good few is a trend and smacks of poor due diligence, which falls on the footballing dept. There is a reason Lampard and Thelwell went out in the summer with a key criteria of wanting to sign players with a history of playing games and fitness. The club was on life support for injuries after Brands was booted. His signing represented poor value.

The man was a scourge on the club and wasted millions, that continue to be wasted and losses added to that undermine the club.

He wasn’t sacked for doing a good job a chara pso any rebuttal in moot.
