MY VIEW:
MOST IMPORTANT SUMMER EVER ???
The bottom line is that there is no money in the Championship this summer. Apart from perhaps the three relegated clubs and possibly a couple more with very rich owners - all the rest have no money to spend either to buy or ti afford biggish wages.
For various reasons Tan is unable or unwilling to spend any more. Because of this he has lost the only edge or advantage he had over most.
We are now - more or less- on a level playing field with most of the other clubs. Very simply it is a question of which clubs can recruit better to amass the better combination of experience , young talent and loanees .
Good proven players on high wages who are released - will be forced to take massive salary reductions ….. so which clubs can pick them up ? Is the fact that eight (I think) of our higher earning players are out of contract of any advantage ….as it gives us more latitude to operate in the market as well as the ability to cut our wage bill to a low level that Tan can live with ?
Given that Tan Dalman and Choo have practically no knowledge or ability or any real input on which players to recruit - our season rests on the shoulders of one man -
Steve Morison !!!
Will he deliver ? Is he the right man to carry this enormous burden ? If we fail to make the play-offs ….. what should happen ? Is next season a defining season for our club for a number of key people ?
