Our owners are on a journey and they employed people who were responsible for signing Carrol Downing and Adam, these people have now been sacked, so you could say they are learning as they go.
You could say that, or you could say that expecting immediate success for your money was ridiculous in the first place, and that Kenny was made a scapegoat for THEIR mistakes!
I have to say I am optimistic re our current squad and If Sterling does decide to leave ( its his choice not ours ) with Ibe and Markovic we have sufficient cover in that area.
Based on what, the few games you've watched Ibe play? He's still a raw talent, much like Sterling was a couple of seasons ago, so to think he's ready to play regularly might be jumping the gun. Markovic is another with potential, but at the minute it's only potential.
Sterling starts before both these guys if it's a straight choice.
We went for the expensive options when Carroll came it didnt work and i can understand out owners being a little cautious, we also snubbed Falcaos wage demands was that a mistake??? i think not. WE also got outbid for Salah again where is he now, our owners are getting there.
So we bought a few high price placers that didn't work out! We spent a shitload more on bargain basement players that didn't work out either!
The owners know exactly what they're doing with their small risk, big reward model.
On field success is of little importance to them, if they can get 50 million for Raheem they take it, maybe some fans would too, but then we'd just be following the same cycle of letting our best players leave. Two steps forward, one step back as usual.
