You say it as if we have been playing [Poor language removed] for the last four games we have been [Poor language removed] since the end of last season.
I got called a fool for saying before the season starts we need cover for CB postion.
Also why was the manager swanning round in the world cup while other teams were getting ready for the new season.
We just was not prepared for the season that's why we're in this mess.
I may be wrong mate but I was under the impression when he was at the World cup that was basically his holiday for the summer and in between his football analysis for TV he was out and about constantly watching other teams coaching and tactics. He then left before the semi finals to come back to work.
There's no doubt we were under prepared pre season but pre seasons aren't usually organised 2 weeks before the players are back like ours seemed to be. They are usually planned 5-6 months in advance by management, fitness coaches and I'm sure the board play a part when it comes to looking for financial gain. I would love either the board or manager to explain why we left things so late. Was it because they thought it wasn't worth sorting anything out due to world cup or did they have something lined up that didn't materialise?
Anyway that's my take on it, I just don't think he was swanning around getting a suntan bob for the sake of it and if he did well he was entitled to a holiday and it didn't bother me as he was taking in football matches.
