Its not the losing or not getting to the play offs its the manner its been done. If we couldnt get quality holding mid fielders or central defenders we should have stayed with the formation and players that was 'going ok' . Bringing in players of a type we already had and shipping out players that could have done a job that the loanees were/ are asked to do doesn't make any real sense.

There are some very simple solutions to the problems we have in our squad:

1) Sign better coaches that have experience of top level football - Radebe and Matteo even Woodgate (Player/ Coach) would make good defense coaches as they know how to control, captain and marshal a back four and were all very good defenders.
For Midfield i would suggest David Batty or Vinnie Jones (he's always wanted to come back) as they would not only provide a defensive mentality but also inspire youngsters as these are living legends.
GK coach should also be changed as Kasper Shemeichel has declined slightly over the year (kicking and catching)
2) Bring in an experienced head to sort out the team David O'Leary lives in Harrogate get him in (He's no longer Al-Ahli manager) or George Graham just for a couple of days as a crash course.
3) Replace the defense Raul Bravo would be a good left back (at this level) bring back Matt Kilgallon pop in Kisnorbo and Lee Bromby at right back
4)Replace the owners! !
5) give the gaffa a verbal warning and tell him this is not sh*tty blackpool and that he can spend some money that us poor fans pump in

M.O.T bk to premiership (slowly, but surely)

In response to:

Getting toward the end of the season now! Anybody know any transfer targets for next year?

Answer:
I guess this is an unanswerable question at the moment as if we get promoted we'll be looking at different players than if we stay in the championship!

expect freebees if we stay it'sthe cheap way with Uncle Ken!
