What I don't get either is that when we do spend millions on players that don't work out the net spend argument is mysteriously absent and outgoing spend used against any individual(s) some people see fit to target like Brendan last year.
Yep, managers are damned if they do and damned if they don't at this club.
'Buck stops with Jürgen' 'It's Jurgens full responsibility' etc - nice to see folk already preparing their scapegoat.
The way some folk are talking it's as if Jürgen has dismantled a team of potential league champions (ha ha, a long way away from league champions this squad - and that's hardly Jurgens fault) and recklessly left blank spaces in the squad. Always looking for a grievance some folk.
There's absolutely nothing in the last few years to suggest we would get it right by panic buying - why the f**k should Jürgen panic buy at the whims of couch potatoes who know sweet f**k all? If the right player isn't on the market, then the right player isn't on the market. I have my doubts as to what Jürgen can do with the left back situation but whose to say he doesn't have a plan for that position?
The bottom line is if things don't work out, then it's an indictment on the squad building of the last few years and the club's haphazard approach to it PRIOR to Jurgens arrival - not specifically the actions of Jürgen or FSG's attitude in the summer, but merely problems that inevitably still linger from the past, as you will always find considering it's not that long since the new man has taken charge. That's hardly Jurgens fault considering the short time he's been here. FSG may provide the funds and may very well welcome any strategy Jürgen proposes but it's refreshing to see a manager in charge who is keeping his cool and isn't throwing everything at the squad in the desperate hope it sticks.
