TJ is absolutely spot on about the list management at the club. Its looks like they just recruit anyone just to justify their positions of employment within the club. Its a joke and a disgrace.
this for me.
seems theres no over all plan with some sort of idea of what numbers are needed in each area. no idea of how the list should look and no idea where each player is at and the likely ceiling of each player.
if you dont have a certain type that is needed to play go and get a mature one but ffs make sure you draft one or two kids as well so in a few yrs time you have a succession plan in place.
the other area we continue to get wrong is hang onto players for too long. we re-sign players who have barely done enough to be kept for to many yrs thus mnaking it impossible to properly cut players when needed.
ah you could go on and on. we just have to fix this area and put in place proper processes to manage the list.
