A bone-chilling result. How on earth has this team imploded, and the cause is rooted deep.within the club and must be resolved. If you ask me the issues long pre-date the Cowleys, the Eisners!! It has been a total lack of investment on and off the field, which the Eisners are trying to remedy,albeit in a rather frugal way. Oñe of the causes has been the hapazard recruitment of players, a lack of building a squad, a poor connection between the youth and first team.squad. We send our 19/. 20.year olds out on loan to Bognor or Gosport, Jude Bellingham , Saka, Foden and Rashford are/were part of first team squads and Indeed internationals at the same age!! All we seem to sign are old seasoned pros - Tunnicliffe, Morrison, Morrell, Oglivie - a promising youngster hardly given a chance or a disgruntled loanee!
I've just read that apparently Grant McCann is out of the running, and it's between Ian Foster and Liam Manning, with a possible announcement tomorrow.
