I don't think too many have a great deal of time for the ones at the top at the moment, but do you really expect Chairmen/Owners from clubs to come out and give interviews multiple times per season after every losing and winning run?

No, NP claims he wasn’t told why, and that only later he found out it was league position. JL was reluctant to confirm anything, probably because our league position wasn’t bad given the circumstances with injuries. I don’t believe for a second it was the primary issue, rather that months later they just can’t keep up with their own spin. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want us to add loads to it - a few well considered additions is what we need (with replacements as necessary). Hopefully the days of signing 8+ players, half of whom we never see are over.

This might explain why in one presser Manning made made a point of saying 'no one was complaining when the block worked against Southampton and West Ham'.

Elruliri Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 We need to sign atleast 2 or 3 quality signings to have a go at top 6.
