The club is reactive more than proactive in regards to the transfer policy,, they do everything on the cheap, everything on short term and almost everything that leaves them open to use the we cant compete excuse when losing out on players.. They set up to fail,, they have been lucky in Wilson, Christie and Bigi in returns they have had, Clarke was the last player brought in and sold for profit, which was a deal every man in the stand could of made.. It say's to me we since SW has been up there as football director!!!!!!!!! we don't bring in any players who are on the up or have potential to help the club short term and help financially long term, it has to fall on them..
SW is not good at his job, he has believed that selling 1 to bring in more will create success while not understanding that losing quality players and bringing in 7 shit ones creates a downward spiral.. Madine is another example,,, if they wanted him so bad why did they not set the deal with loan to perm from day 1 instead of letting him showcase himself and his contract situation to all and that would be looking... SW has a massive part to play in this and JS as even bigger,, SP is in this pot and has to take responsibility but he by know means is the driver of the policy.
