Is some of that due to owners saying one thing and doing another? Or dare I say it being economical around the true financial figures.
If fans were more involved, having access to the true figures and having a vote on decisions; Would that not make their expectations more realistic, would...
As much as I dislike SISU, their methods and what they stand for; I still want what is by right, a side representing my home city, as in Coventry City, to win!
People talking about players going out of club because they weren't given a squad number, but Seabourne first to leave (contact cancelled) and had a squad number I believe?
Would never set foot in Sixfields to watch Coventry while SISU are in charge. If they build a new stadium out of Coventry I won't be setting foot in that either.
Fleck and Barton have both shown the ability to be creative. Perhaps both need shown the desire and consistency to become first class players.
What both lack is perhaps the right foil alongside them, to allow them to kick on their progress.
Every manager inherits players. Every manager looses players and I am sure Pressley would have loved to have kept some of the departed. I am sure he would not have wanted his budget cut. But we are were we are. One game into a new season with a new team.
So it is too early to judge is it not?
I am not saying he is, I am pointing out it even took Ferguson several,seasons with big funds to turn Manchester United around.
Look at what some stability and cultivation of an ethos within a club achieved at Swansea.
Look at what chopping and changing has achieved at Coventry.
Agree, that must have been a big motivation for coming here. Where is it easier to look good, at a club like Coventry or Man United after Ferguson?
He has to move us on this year, despite the loss of Clarke and Wilson, which will be no easy task.
