Just to say, some great debate and insight in this thread.
Thanks all.
@Harry do you have any confidence that JL-BT-GM-SL will back LM sufficiently when he tells them he's gonna need to recruit quite a few players (I've no idea how many - 5 or 6?) to get us playing his brand of football effectively?
Especially when their rhetoric was essentially 'that we had the players here, just not the right manager' a few weeks back.
No slight on LM that he is finding out the shortcomings of his new team on the fly, but you'd have hoped BT would have understood this when we were considering LMs appointment.
