Club Statement transfer embargo

I'm sure this simpfies bringing in a new manager. NOT!

I think it's a bigger issue than you Heather. In an industry where your future is at best on thin ice from the outset would you want to accept a position that you can't immediately begin putting your stamp on from day one? I would at a minimum be hesitant if it wasn't a big step up from my current situation.

There's nothing left to talk about here. I'll be back when Shahid Khan decides to sell the club to someone who knows something about owning a professional sports team. COYW.

 

I think it's important to keep the timeline in mind. This is a byproduct of Khan's initial mistake of paring down the board and entrusting too much of the football side to Ali Mac. Knowing this was on the horizon was likely a factor in hiring a Director of Football.

Obviously the Football League realized the problems with the rule by changing the acceptable loss from £6M to £13M. I don't think some disgruntled fans are realizing just how difficult it is to go from a Premiership payroll to a Championship payroll. Player contracts are complicated & it's not as simple as just dumping players. You're somewhat at the mercy of other teams when trying to find places for high value players to land.

None of this is meant to absolve anyone though. They knew the parameters & bottom line, had to meet them. Further, they made the decision to sack Kit with this penalty looming. They had to realize it might make finding the ideal replacement more difficult. It also makes Rowett's asking for some sort of indemnity clause make more sense.

Personally, I don't think the penalty is very harsh. We don't typically do good January business anyway. But because of the penalty, we probably should have just hung onto Kit for this season because we were cruising along comfortably. Instead we have a PR mess that seems to be growing with each week. Lord help them if they don't nail the Jimmy Hill tribute Tuesday, especially if a new, well received manager hasn't been named.

 

You don't need me Don. WE need a new owner. I just hope we don't fall too far down the ladder before it happens. There's zero evidence that we will go anywhere but down under Shahid Khan's reign. Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but there's just no reason for hope or optimism at this point in the club's history. None. Zero. Nada.
