I don’t buy into the idea all is not well behind the scenes. Howe seems to have more control than ever before. It’s debatable we have the necessary experience and skill set behind the scenes to get deals done, but that is a separate issue.
We were good at it, we no longer have the same team in place to do transfers and haven’t made a first team signing in 18 months. Time will tell if we are still as capable.
Be a risky decision going into a season with Schar, Botman and Burn as our CB choices. Incredibly fortunate last season that Schar and Burn managed to stay injury free.
