Looking back at his summer window, especially now we can evaluate the team post-Dyche, I really think it’s under-appreciated.
He resolved PSR using Dobbin and Godfrey and gained a player in Tim who potentially is better than either.
He had multiple signings in well in advance of the season- including Ndiaye who increasingly looks one of the signings of the season across the whole league.
He had to also navigate the TFG collapse putting us back to square one cash flow wise. The briefing from the club was that nothing changed but it’s clear from that point on all transfer spending pretty much ceased other than wheeling and dealing a couple of free loans.
Crucially dealt with both PSR and the financial peril without having to sell Branthwaite, which is bigger than any incoming.
But people will have it down as some sort of disaster because of his last minute punt on Broja, which admittedly didn’t work out, but hardly negates a lot of great work in difficult and ever changing circumstances.
