Honestly think it's a waste of time talking about buying new players atm. What's the point?
The stark reality is that we really can't bring in anyone of note until we have a half decent coaching leading the team. Who'll be attracted to coming here when we don't have a style or vision to how we're going to play? We're inept of ideas? The players look like they're hating it out there?
People will say "Money talks" and that may well be true. But if you're about to join a cooperation for big money you're still going to check who your boss is going to be in a year. Especially when that said cooperation has a history of cutting high profile recruits less than a year into their new contracts ... We're a mess. Sort out the boss first, so we get the right recruits in rather than signing players on Pay's vision then getting a new coach in who has a totally different style.
Should they board be speaking more? .... From a personal viewpoint I'd love it as I'm a selfish entitled **** who wants to know everything. But, when I get over myself, and think a little rationally I don't think they owe us explanations for every step they make. They owe us progress. If they tell you nothing for the next 4 years but we win 2 premierships in that till, will you be complaining about not hearing anything from them? Of course not. So why now?
This is what they said they'll do, business behind closed doors. Whether we like it or not, they said they'd do this and we voted them in. So ... we need to let them do their jobs.
Am I concerned that Pay is going to bury us? Truth is, he's already dug out the grave and our bodies are being slowly lowered down .... But I do hope our board aren't complete muppets and will act when necessary. For all we know they've been out talking to prospective coaches seeing where we stand on that front. So they're just riding out the storm at the present time ....
For me, they'll need to sack Pay in the next 3-4 weeks the way things are going, and probably bring in an interim coach from within the club. I just hope to God they've got a long-term plan to all of this, and I have to believe that they do ... until I see otherwise.
