What's the argument exactly? Rafa was forced into a buy to sell and that's why the squad became depleted. You can't back up Hodgson because he's using the words that Rafa and some players used for the last 2 seasons.
His failings are not financial but tactical and verbal.
The man is clutching at straws, it's just the death throes of an owl that's just been attacked by a Hawk.
Fact of the matter is you have to make the best of what you have to work with..that is a managers #1 duty imo....Now while our team may not have the best players in the world, we damn sure have the players to be higher up on the table and preform week in and week out better then we have been.
If we lost to Chelsea, ManU, the Mancs..or another team of that caliber I would be like OK the better squad won....what kills me is losing to the bottom feeders and making the excuse of how good they are when we lose.
