The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

When Frank was sacked we had a better ppg than last season so the point in bold can be spun either way, not that it matters. Last season was the worst league performance in our history, if we follow that up with something worse that doesn't change anything in the grand scheme of things. Frank was rightly sacked, as should any manager that has us in this sort of position.

Yes our problems do stretch back to the end of the Poch era - truth be told I'm not sure any of our teams since than have been any better than what we have now, take both Son & Kane out of Mourinho or Conte teams and we're likely deep in the bottom half with the players we had once we sold off the other top players from that team. A solid lesson in how not to approach transfers & squad building over an extended period.

I am a broken record with it but the squad building at our club is horrific, its been compounded with this scatter gun approach to buying youth and compounded by injuries. Was Sat having a beer Sunday with a mate and he said "there isn't one player at this club that I care about, I get excited about seeing on a Saturday or makes me think he carries an identity of the club" and I couldn't agree. There isn't one player in my mind where you look at and think "they care" unfortunately I think comes from the existing culture where the clubs not being respected by players aka there is no culture.

The club looks rotten and rudderless from top to bottom, dare I say we need another rebuild but my GHod do we now.
