There is a backroom team. All that is missing is an assistant and a coach….
…joking apart I agree that’s no ideal.
But the players are on holiday for an another 4 weeks so I don’t see it as a real problem. I’ll grant you that in an ideal world it wouldn’t be the case but I actually don’t think it’s a problem.
Sadler will have the pre season planned weeks ago. Someone else will handle the logistics of which friendlies we play and where…the dates will be all it sorted and the training programmes will be arranged around that on the advice of the medical and science team that are already in place.
But you just assume that we aren’t!!
I don’t understand it. If we accept it’s not going to be broadcast to the world, why can’t we assume all this is taking place?
When was the last time anyone at any club on the entire planet, told its supporters which players and which agents they were discussing potential deals with?
I understand it’s frustrating when it’s radio silence but that’s because we live in a world where we suddenly expect to be in the loop with everything, but It’s just not realistic. It’s not happening in any other industry but as fans we have this attachment that makes us feel it’s our right.
Trust me, the phones will be off the hook with agents ringing us. There will be a host of phone calls and meetings among people at the club discussing names and potential signings.
We can’t be so naive as to believe the numerous Twitter accounts claiming to be in the know and talking about various clubs being in for various players……this is generally unscrupulous agents generating their own news to generate interest. Unfortunately nothing on football generates interest more than other interest!!!
The sports science and physio / medical team are all in place. There wasn’t a problem with that department and it doesn’t need tinkering with. Flynn and the various players involved in rehab all paid tribute to the medical department on many occasions despite fans just assuming an ACL from landing badly after mis-hitting a shot was down to the staff!!!
Mate I’ve said it before, you’re a poster I respect. Even if I don’t agree with you at least it can be a sensible logical discussion and more often than not your posts are thoughtful and contain common sense. Don’t get caught up in all the other rubbish. There are things that could be better of course but we’re almost at the point where we are under every cushion looking for an issue that isn’t there.
