The basic point is simple: the club has a plan and a recruitment model that can work, but it needs time. Fans expecting instant cohesion are asking the impossible; players need minutes together to learn the shape and the small details that make a team click.
Why structure matters
To be fair, taking over any failing business means you put the right structures in first. That doesn’t feel glamorous on day one, but it's the only sustainable way. The recruitment model – identifying leaders, then adding complementary quality around them – is a sensible approach. It takes patience, and you can see why the manager would prioritise getting the spine right before throwing money at short-term fixes.
Leadership first, then quality
Look at the kind of profiles we've focused on: experienced, robust characters to set standards on and off the pitch. We’ve brought in leadership already and now we’re trying to add higher-end pieces around that core. The problem isn’t intent; it’s competition. Good players attract interest and sometimes we won’t pay beyond our valuation. Long-term that’s healthy — no bloated wage bill that ties us down.
Fans, patience and the danger of knee-jerk
The truth is we are our own worst enemy. We expect perfection from minute one, and when results wobble the call for a sacked manager becomes deafening. That throws recruitment and continuity into chaos. Replace the manager, rip up the squad and you start again. Who benefits from that? Not the club. If Danny and the board stick to the process and we afford it one fair crack, the chances of a durable rebuild rise. It’s hard to ask for patience, but sometimes the hardest thing is the right thing.
