I think your last sentence, at least, is correct. A huge underreported (by Phil Hay, Graham Smyth, etc.) dynamic is what impact the takeover agreement (but not an actual takeover) by the 49ers investment vehicle has had on our transfer business. As far as I can see, and I've read nothing to dissuade me of this, the effect has been to convince Radrizzani that every penny he spends from now on is a penny less profit he gains once the sale goes through,which thereby disincentivizes him to spend any money at all. I suspect that's why we ended up with Willy Gnonto (who I like) instead of CDK.

Take the first Bournemouth goal the other week. They double up on Struijk, which draws Cooper across , which means Koch has to cover Cooper’s man, which leaves Rasmus covering two players. He opts for covering Moore and the spare man scores. You can blame individual errors but this kind of thing happens multiple times every game and it’s a matter of when, not if, we’ll concede. We are also terrible in the defensive transition. Look how many times an opposition attack begins with us losing the ball high up the pitch. One ball over the top and they’re in on goal. Again, if it happens once you think player error but if it keeps happening you think tactics / set up. I think you can think the board should have signed more players, especially left back and centre back, and question the tactics Marsch employs. That’s where I’m at - I think he’s lucky to have got the Leeds job and even luckier to still have it. The squad needs investment in Jan but I’m not convinced the board will spend any money unless the Americans take over.

I blame the tactics, massive holes everywhere. Every game there are at last two/three situations where two people are just wide open at the far post or at the top of the box. And by wide open I mean 5/7 yards free. Nick On Sunday, November 13, 2022 at 12:23:31 PM EST, n...@6haroldplace.co.uk <n...@6haroldplace.co.uk> wrote: A good young keeper, behind a porous defence.
