Yeah, I think Phillips pieces are usually well thought out and written, this one pretty much sums up my own opinion..........so must be right of course lol
Yeah its a very fair article - we really don't have a history to brag about during my lifetime. That's why I'm prepared to give Fosun the benefit of the doubt - we need new ideas and we need to be ruthless.
Clubs make strategic errors all the time. The current top six in the Premier League have all been guilty of at least one utter howler this decade that's set them backwards for a time.
To listen to our fans you'd think we're the only club ever that makes mistakes and perversely they think the world is laughing at us (in reality no-one gives much of a toss). If we're still in this position in 12 months - going nowhere in this league, rubbish squad, probably looking for another new manager, unsure what the actual direction is - then fire away at the owners as far as I'm concerned. Not sure why you'd do it now.
Good article particularly debunking some of the sepia SJH stuff peddled in articles like this: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.mi...wolves-project-another-grim-step-10542964.amp
He's wrong on Taylor and as Paddy has pointed out it's it's more complicated than he portrays under Jones, although there is a degree of revisionism in this. When walking away from Cardiff I doubt anyone thought our investment would be so minimal that Summer, even though in hindsight you can see the amount Jones spent should have been enough to get a club up and keep it there.
I'm 70 now and I have had some great times. Been to Wembley 3 times, League Cup winners twice, and Sherpa Van Trophy.
When we won the league cup in 1974 we didn't invest as a lot of the players were at the end of their careers, same in 1980. We have had our chances to really build something, but we just let things stagnate.
We now have a good chance under Fosun to be able to progress.
I am surprised there isn't a meltdown on the - Rate the midfielders article. Edwards getting joint top score with MGW and Ronan, not exactly a ringing endorsement of our quality in CM.
