Honestly, when the season ended, I’d not have been unhappy for us to sell any player except Kane. As the days have passed, I’ve calmed my shit down a bit and also understand we won’t be shifting out twenty-odd players this summer.
Also, it must be remembered that this squad has a couple of additions to the one that finished top four not last season but the one before. And if a few results had gone our way and we hadn’t just given up at the end of the season, we’d have got there again.
There’s a nucleus of a good young squad here and I agree, maybe a few players who we didn’t get the most out of and that may now be ready to shine. Whilst there’s work to be done, we aren’t the shitshow many seem to think. At least I hope not. Maybe this appointment is what we need to get things back on track again. We can only hope.
