Just thinking with Les and Hoos apparently off we could be in for a difficult summer transfer period as who is going pull the deals together if there is no immediate replacement for them.
We will go into next season with a weaker squad and less numbers.
If weāre not careful could do back to back relegations.

Fair comment but I also fear possible admin 12 point deduction and relegation. I do not trust the owners/board one iota. |

Rumoured that Taylor Richards will become a permanent signing and that we're negotiating a new contract with Chris Willock...

Some very ambitious names being mentioned on this thread. Would love to be proved wrong but my hunch is given the financial situation its going to be an extremely frustrating summer, even by our standards.

Ainsworth is clearly into the experienced, older player.
We're trialling a midfield maestro as cover for Johansen - here he is teaching the youngsters a thing or two...

League 1 & 2 big lumps incoming. #hoofball #rugbygoals #punt #whoneedsamidfield #retrofootball #bobbygould #donsinhoops this is my fear and why a capable dof is integral. At the moment we have a squad mainly built up of players comfortable playing with ball at feet. If you allow Ainsworth to build side In His image then were likely see players suited to certain style. If it donāt work out short term for him and heās bombed out next man is taking over a squad which is made for the previous manager. This is why a playing philosophy is needed and really as managers and players come and go they need to fit in with that style not the other way. What owners and DOF have potentially done is kind of torn up 6 years of growth and style probably starting with McLaren to potentially go down another route. That might be harsh on Gareth as he might have another style in him but what heās said and shown so far Iām not sure there is. Listened Dobson interview that donāt tell me there is either. |

Great post and my concern too. Are the board working to recruit a new DoF as pre-season preparations should start now? I wouldnāt have appointed Ainsworth but I understand it was a case of āneeds mustā as relegation had to be avoided. But short term thinking comes with long term costs. Now we are screwed either way: if we go for cloggers, as you suggest, we will be left with Josh Scowens eating up wages in the reserves on three year deals when Ainsworth will probably be gone by Christmas; but if we stick to our original strategy and go for ball players, Ainsworth could legitimately say āI donāt know what to do with these players, they donāt fit my system.ā Given how absent the DoF and board have been, I doubt the club is even thinking about this, let alone solving it. Perhaps a compromise will be forced on us given we have zero money: there will be far less summer activity than fans want due to long player contracts and Ainsworth will have to fashion a team out of first teamers we canāt sell and B team kids. |

Interesting comments made Rahim Sterling in interview about whatās wrong at Chelsea. He said āgoing on his experience at previous clubā there is no organisation and you need a strong manager who knows what he wants, the players he wants and how he wants to play. I canāt see there is a right or wrong to this argument - itās all down to the size and type of club, and the quality of the people involved. Iām sure there is no DOF who knows what the City team needs better than Guardiola. Didnāt work at Spurs either. Conte didnāt like the players he had. If Sterling says Chelsea needs a manager Iād trust he knows what heās talking about.

How long do you stick with a style that doesnāt work for you? Two seasons running now weāve looked like relegation candidates in the second half of the season - and that under four different full time managers. We canāt cope when weāve been worked out.

We just went from fantastic form into poor form and fucked up great position. Never ever in a relegation picture like this year. |

We know that pace scares the bejeebers out of defenders. BOS scared defences when he was here and Armstrong can make defences act like chickens when a fox has got in the coop.

We can't afford to allow each manager to rip up the team and tactics when on average they only last a few months. For Chelsea the money is irrelevant. |
