Milan, Rudi and Sheaf will start against Hull, all were apparently off before we seen 1 picture of pre season..... Posters convinced we buy which will automatically means we sell, or we have to sell to buy.. The truth is we will do either if it improves the squad depth and quality.
Doug doesn't do what we as fans have been used too for the last 40 years. His business model is very clear, his aim has been clarified by himself in public a few times .That plan cant be done by having no control over your main assets at the club, which is the squad. He trusts FL to make improvements and will give him the support if needed.
I think he is very rigid with transfers but seems to know the market values very well. He also has the squad in a good place with contracts which keeps the control in the clubs hands. He must have the attitude of being prepared to walk away from any table, if you cant get what you want or at the value you are prepared to buy or sell then its time to walk. . Which is in my opinion the best attitude to have in negotiations. You should never walk towards something you cant walk away from it, otherwise you get desperate and make bad decisions. For us patience is key, as i believe we are in good hands with a good model to go forward.
